I have been using Google Adsense for about 6 weeks. Then suddenly I received an email from AdSense saying that my Account has been DISABLED. At first I thought ''no, this can't be right, I'm either not understanding this properly or it's just some type of mistake, sent to me by accident''. Soon after, the the harsh reality kicked in and I was shocked. It must have been the worst email I have ever received in my life. I felt sad and slightly depressed. Then I wrote an appeal to AdSense thinking to myself ''no problem, I will just write this appeal and things will quickly get sorted out, because they will realize that this whole thing is just a mistake''. It was not a mistake... After waiting about 3 days I received a reply email saying my Appeal was REJECTED and basically saying ''they don't want nothing to do with me ever again''. Here are the 2 emails I received from them: Message 1: Google AdSense Account Disabled Google AdSense Feb 15 (10 days ago) to me Hello, With our advertising programs, we strive to create an online ecosystem that benefits publishers, advertisers and users. For this reason, we sometimes have to take action against accounts that demonstrate behavior toward users or advertisers that may negatively impact how the ecosystem is perceived. In your case, we have detected invalid activity on your site and your account has been disabled. We're limited in the amount of information we can provide about your specific violation. We understand this can be frustrating for you, but we've taken these precautionary measures because intentional violators can use this information to circumvent our detection systems. In some cases, publishers can make significant changes to correct the violation and are willing to comply with the AdSense program policies (google.com/adsense/policies). For this reason, we offer an appeals process as an opportunity to work with you to resolve the issue. To help you with the process, we’ve created a list of the top reasons for account closure for you to review before submission. Please be sure to provide a thorough analysis in your appeal, which you can submit at ''xx'' and we will follow up accordingly. Thanks for your understanding, The Google AdSense Team ************************************************************************************************************************************ OK, so in the first sentence of that email is says: With our advertising programs, we strive to create an online ecosystem that benefits publishers, advertisers and users.

Feb 18 (7 days ago) to me Hello, Thanks for the additional information provided in your appeal, we appreciate your continued interest in the AdSense program. After thoroughly reviewing your account data and taking your feedback into consideration, our specialists have confirmed that we're unable to reinstate your AdSense account. If you'd like more details on our invalid activity policies or review process, please visit ''xx''. As a reminder, further participation in the AdSense program by publishers whose accounts have been disabled is not permitted. Thanks for your understanding, The Google AdSense Team ************************************************************************************************************************************ ?? I demonstrated behavior toward users or advertisers that may negatively impact how the ecosystem is perceived. ?? Thanks for understanding? I don't understand something that I don't know what it is! Detected invalid activity on my site? If that's the case, then I would like to know why. They never gave me a reason. All it says is ''Invalid Activity''. And here is another thing said in that email: We're limited in the amount of information we can provide about your specific violation. We understand this can be frustrating for you, but we've taken these precautionary measures because intentional violators can use this information to circumvent our detection systems. ?? And the last part: As a reminder, further participation in the AdSense program by publishers whose accounts have been disabled is not permitted. ?? I don't think that was necessarry to be repeated and last sentence. ?? We are limited...?? Instead of focusing so much on INTENTIONAL Violators, how about you just sit down for a minute and think about then NON-Intentional ''Violators?'', the good people. Think about the pain and inconvenience you are causing to those good people who have been using and respecting Google for years! Those people seen AdSense as a great opportunity to make some money from working at home. Those people came to YOU because they Trusted and Respected you. You're Google, you are hardly ''limited'' at any thing. You have all the money in the world to use for improving your Detection Systems. And if some people, those ''Violators'' are ripping you off taking money illegally from you, then I would say that's most likely because I believe AdSense is 95% Automated Software (Machine), and only 5% Real People who work. You have no support. What support? Both these emails, including the reply to my Appeal appear to be Automated emails. It's like you've been working for your boss for years and years, then one day you come home check your email and find an Automated Message saying you've just been fired. That's very cold-hearted. To be honest, after all this... even IF Google did Approve my Appeal and say ''OK, you can work for AdSense again...'', I would never ever feel comfortable again or have trust in them again. Because it seems that they can just Disable people's Accounts at any time they feel like doing so, and I don't believe that all 10 out of 10 people who got their Accounts Disabled are really bad people who intentionally did something wrong. I have read about people who have been using AdSense for over 5 years and have been earning over $5,000 a month... And one day they get an email saying Account Disabled! I feel sorry for people like that, and I really don't think that many of those high-earning people would be stupid enough to do the wrong thing and risk losing it all! So after 5 years of hard work you get fired... and all you get is an Automated Message from a machine. That's cruel. Instead of just saying Account Disabled, wouldn't it be better to just: LOCK the user's Account (put all earnings on Standby / Pause) and say: There's been some problems, we think you're doing something which is against our AdSense Rules, so now we've put all your earnings on Hold and give you some time to sort-it-out. In 6 weeks of working with AdSense I have only earned under $5 (five dollars). In my first week of working with Qadabra, first week since opening my account, I have almost DOUBLED that, I'm getting close to have made $10 (ten dollars) since I started! Most of that money I have earned from Impressions, and yes I did get 1 Click already as well. (You need to give it some time in the beginning for better Advertising to start coming to your Website, in fact today I am already starting to see some good and attractive looking Ads displaying on my Website, which are starting to replace and out-date the cheap / not so nice looking (previous) Ads. Just give it some time and all things will work out how they should. 6 weeks using AdSense and it reported that I only had 1 single Click (from Bangladesh, not even near to my region, and obviously not my click, I don't click my own stuff)... in 6 weeks? That does not sound right to me. In fact all along I just did not feel like I trusted their ''counting'' system of how many Impressions, Clicks, Visitors,... Just never felt right. The Qadabra user interface is as simple and straight forward as can be. It is also a very ''light'' website, nothing heavy on there to slow things down in case you got a slow internet connection. Basically you can sign into your account any time to: Check how much money you have earned (Income), which Ads are getting the most Impressions, Clicks, CTR, eCPM, create new Ads,... That's all there is to do, nothing complicated - which means you can use as much time as you want to focus and concentrate on doing work to your Website, Qadabra takes care of the rest. As they say ''Qadabra - Ad revenue Magically Simple''. And if you want Support, to speak to a Real Person and get a quick reply by a Real Person, that's what Qadabra is all about. I know that because few days ago I wrote an email to Qadabra Support and I was amazed how very friendly their Support people are. They see and treat everybody as an individual, no copy / paste automated messages. That's real support by people who really care and will help you in any way they can. I wrote an email to them (out of ''paranoia / discomfort'' caused by Google AdSense), basically saying ''can somebody take a look at my Website to see if everything looks normal and legal - because I don't want to be breaking any rules''. Here is a partial copy of my message to Qadabra, and the reply message to me from Qadabra Support: My message to Qadabra: After AdSense closed my account I'm still finding it difficult to stay calm and relaxed about making money through advertising on my Website. Whatever their reasons were, I don't know and I don't care any more. I just don't want something like that to happen to me again with Qadabra. So my question is: could somebody from Qadabra Support please take a look at my website ( http://www.supercomtech.com ) (it's the only website that I have) and see if everything looks Normal and Legal and not breaking any rules? This is my first ''proper / real'' (hosted) Website that I ever had, I have been building it since late December last year so it's still very young, but visually I am happy with the way it looks, no major changes will be made to the site's appearance, but of course a lot more content will be added in the coming time. I am new to owning a Website and Advertising, but I'm learning fast and getting better at it. I just don't want to be breaking any rules, I would like to have a future working with and for Qadabra. Reply message from Qadabra: Hi Sasa, Thank you for this kind message. We are very happy to hear that we are able to help provide an income for you and we are happy to have such publishers on board Qadabra! I am sorry to hear about your Google account. I can assure you that in terms of support we will always answer your questions and help in any way we can. That’s what Qadabra is all about. I took a look at your site and it looks great, even though it is young it has definite potential, it is all a matter of adding quality content. 1. I would recommend maybe reducing the amount of banners on the homepage. We always recommend not overwhelming the site with banners because they can actually have the opposite effect (lower performance/results) 2. I have attached a document to this email with a detailed description of the rich media banners we offer (I recommend implementing stay-ons or lightbox-they've been proven to significantly improve revenue) Maybe AdSense works for some people but it certainly didn't work / or work out good for me. For me personally, AdSense turned out to be more like NonSense and a waste of my time. I'm glad I didn't have pay any money for signing up with them... could have been worse. I highly recommend Qadabra. As I said this is my first week since I signed up with Qadabra and I have already almost doubled my income compared to AdSense in 6 weeks, and AdSense will not pay me a cent (Account Disabled) of that little bit of money I earned. I also recommend PurelyHosting if you are looking at changing your Host or looking for excellent Hosting - PurelyHosting has amazing support, very friendly and fast replies, they know what they are talking about, extremely fast servers, they are Eco-Friendly (powered by green energy), very reliable and they know what they are doing... just like Qadabra. I highly recommend Qadabra if you want to make good money with your Website. First Class Support, very nice people.

really a goood post and i this is what i am looking for a long time....becoz i also dont want to use the Google Adsense program, many of my friend are using it and some had been getting fedup with it...now the fine idea for qadabra.com and let me think about it with the market reivew and some other ways...i will share my experience about qadabra.com....
If I may recommend something, please consider breaking up your posts a bit more in the future haha I had a very difficult time reading this, even as far to skipping huge chunks. Adsense can be very fickle. I was hit for a point due to an inactive site awhile back. They are very strict. As far as the other program you mentioned, I have no experience with them, but I will definitely look into them. Always looking for new outlets!
I've never had any problems with Adsense, other than the pay just sucks..unless you get HUGE traffic. Thanks for recommending this program, I haven't heard of them..but I'm always looking for new ways to make money.
Hi. I apologize if it was difficult to read it, but it just did not post properly for some reason. This is not how I wrote it, but it ended up posting this way, kind of joined it all together.
Sasa K. Your not the only one having the same problem. It was not yet the end. There are still lot of adsense alternatives you can try
But http://www.qadabra.com didn't even show their real address. So it might be not reliable option to make money ...
Is anybody else using Qadabra? is it reliable? I even havent good idea about Google adsense.I have tried y best to get adsense for my life.But rejected every time.
Qadabra is a CPM provider, which is a completely different animal to AdSense's CPC. And it's just one of many - but I've had a decent experience with them. They're a bit amateur on some fronts, such as support, but this is actually an advantage because they listen instead of just sending out a standard response. Can't really speak to their rates because my traffic's pitiful but the few impressions I send their way seem to average at less than $0.10 eCPM, which is pretty crap. As I say, my page views suck for the sites I use them on, so it's not indicative. On the up side, their system is dead easy to use and seems as reliable as CPMGo, CPMFun or any other ad provider.
Hi I like to share my experience with adsense and first I have to say I am not banned from it but I like more freedom with my site, I hate to live with feeling of adsense will ban me To be honest I have several sites and also I manage small free blog hosting service called jujpress dot com, so one of my sites banned from adsense but my account remain ok (this site not contains any thing against adsense TOS and I even never put any pop up ads or any ads in it, it was with adsense for long time 3 years but finally they send me their email with warning to not do any thing wrong again!!!!) Any how I decided to find adsense alternative but working well and after many bad experiences I joined qadabra with no hope and when I find Adsgadget.com leads to this site I got more suspicious but finally I said why not? I tried qadabra with one site so I compared it with adsense in the main site ,I changed the ads places many times and finally I found doubled my income compared to AdSense in one month Now I have adsense with qadabra in this site ,in the free blogs I am hosting I am using qadabra ,the main point Iwant to say that I am thinking now to put qadabra pop up in the site I told you about and even adsense don’t like that If you using qadabra give them a try (only one month) and before the end of the month you will replace and ads in your site with it The only thing I want now is to find qadabra admin in digital point Sorry for this long post
Hi, It's great to meet you and have you on board Qadabra. In regards to your concerns about Adsgadget, this was simply the past name of our brand, so no need to be suspicious We just did some rebranding to our name and design. We are happy to hear that you are satisfied with Qadabra and we look forward to helping you with anything you need! Let us know if you have any further questions or doubts Cheers!
hi,I am new in google adsense, hare your experience with adsense make me care full about google adsense ,thank you ,wish you all the best.
hi again i dont know if i can put matrix of my earning with qadabra compares with adsense in the same site in the same period but i see i have more with qadabra in this month for the same site same ad size and if this is allowed i will put a screen of the two
Hi Qadabra, I have started using your site today and it is serving ads ok, however the impressions statistic is not updating in the placements screen. Could you tell me how close to realtime the updates should be? thanks
as always happens, the stats have updated since I posted this question looks like it takes a few hours. just need that eCPM to be a bit better please ... the relevance of the ads seems a bit off, i.e I have a finance site, and the ads are sometimes about weightloss, or are just more generic in nature. Do you publish stats about your advertiser base and their category breakdown?
hi let me make it clear enough , i am not a site owner or publisher,i am a new free web hosting (reappost dot com) is anew free blog hosting service depends on wordpress content management but allow its blooggers to monetize their blogs with their own ads but it also want to offers a built in monetize solutions so we are here to start one of this solutions and when i want to offer my bloggers this i made many search ,tried many ads network and finally i have qadabra ,talked with them many times with many unusual questions and asked them many things and now i can say i prefers it if i compare with adsense and i usually see my account in adsense and qadabra ,every time qadabra make more in the same site and same channel so no i am googling with ( alternative to qadabra) this is real they have one bad point :minimum payment for wire transfer 500$ and i don't use paypal if they make it with check they will kick google adsense otherwise i don't know how to advertise with them but if they gave me big rate for my publisher account i don't think it will be cheap to use as advertising try qadabra with good traffic and you will love it and if you have any question i will be with you as long as i can
only tried adsense and same experienced on some but still fine with me. Thanks for this very informative posts of yours. Will try it soon
