hi i was just wondering that most of the people tend to get banned by adsense before they recieve their first cheques.. has anyone been banned after the first check? like may be 2-3months after that when the next payment was due?
I've seen a similar post elsewhere, and yes it's in the first billing time that you are usually banned
The reason most people are banned before their first cheque is because google manually reviews new accounts before sending the first payment to make sure that the person has not been breaking any tos. Up till the first payment it is mostly automated checking that does not work very well.
I think you are correct. Of course lots of people are banned after the first payment (just read forums ) - Google has quite a good system that detects invalid clicks/inflated impressions activity.
