I just wanted to add that you CAN use Adsense on a previously banned site. I have a friend doing that, and he is doing fine so far and i think he contacted Adsense about that and they gave him the green signal.
Don't be ... unless you did something like me, which went something like this: I designed a very small site and filled it with some blog posts... and then i put adsense all around. Now, I was getting ZERO traffic, but like an oblivious idiot, I kept clicking on my own ads everyday from campus computers... so it was obvious in my case. what was not so obvious is why they decided to ban me a year later and retain all my legal profits So anyways, if you did not do something along the above scenario, and you just happen to have a high ratio day or week... it might spark google's attention, but i doubt they'll kick too much fuss if it was just random.
Zubber, I'd like to know more about this. I know for a fact that the domain itself DOESN'T GET BANNED. It's the person behind the domain that gets banned... since I am NOT that person (the domain is under somebody else's owenership) then yes in that sense you could use adsense on a previously "banned site"
The site was a forum which was banned for invalid clicks. Now my friend took the site with a new Adsense account and has already made around $200 and waiting to receive his PIN to activate the payment process. Also, I'm very keen about this offer. I would really appreciate if I could have a look at your site, your stats, and all. Zuberr
Why not display your own ads as an affiliate. Use your affiliate links to products or services that are relevant to the topic of your website. That way you'll earn dollar commissions instead of cents per click.
