What happens to the money that banned adsense users generate?

    I just wonder if Google is happy to see some people break it's TOS because in that way he will never have to pay the people that generated money for them.

    For example, someone uses dirty tricks and gathers 1000$ unfairly by adsense in 1 week. Google sees, bans the guy and keeps the money. BUT Google also keeps the money from the adwords clients that payed for those clicks. And even if it returns the money, the adwords clients remain with the traffic and maybe bussines oportunities that adwords has brought to their site.

    What do you guys think?

    I thought Google refunded the advertises when they cancelled an account.

    Yeah, it returns the money, but the advertises gain free traffic and bussines. So if I am a adwords client and want to get my money back, just go to a guy that I see displaying my ads, clickbomb him, he gets baned, I receive my money back :D

    I do hope your smiley means you're joking... Refunded monies for invalid clicks only come from the invalid clicks themselves, not all clicks. If you did as you suggest the only 'refund' you'd get would be the clicks you yourself generated and in the meantime you'll have lost a potential advertiser.

    I really don't understand this theory that Google might be happy to close accounts purely as a method to keep residual funds in their account. It is the most insane business idea I've ever heard. If you've got a customer who brings in money to your company every month and will continue doing so until the end of time only a financial moron would shut down that account to take the short term cash. Whatever else Google are, they're not financial morons.

    What would you rather have? £300 a month for life or £1000 now?

    Or at least they say that they return money to advertisers.

    Well most of us dont bring Google much at all compared to their main publishers. So once again the little guy is ignored. Nothing new.

    No, they do. My Adwords campaigns show credits for invalid clicks every month.

    Sorry, lost me there. How is this relevant to the thread? It's nothing to do with how big or small a publisher you are.

    Sure it does. Google wont ban a publisher making then a few million without serious investigation. For a small publisher making a few hundred $ is easier to just ban them and prevent wasting employee time on sorting things out.
