Everytime Google Adsense sends out an email letting publishers know about new services and updates, I always get worried that it's going to be that dreaded "You've been cancelled for invalid clicks". Anyone else feel this way. I know that I never should get it, because I never click my ads, but I've heard stories of people saying they got booted just the same (maybe they were lying though). In anycase, I freak out when I get unexpected emails from Google Adsense team. LOL
Yup - your talking about the one that came around an hour ago aren't you. I shat a brick I saw the from adress first and thought Nooooo! What have I done!? What a state to be in.
I hate getting those, especially the "New email from Google Adsense" messages popping up on MSN... Thinking "Oh shit, There goes my Paycheck this month " It's not as bad now that Adsense is only 30% of my earnings though.
That's exactly what happened to me, but with my GMAIL warning app. It pops up a little notice in the bottom right corner. I see it says "From Google Adsense" and I'm like "Please be something trivial."
I, too, shat bricks upon seeing that email. I really says alot about Google's clients service that people are so scared of them. I NEVER click and I work hard not to violate TOS - still, I am terrified of being spontaneously ejected from the program !
I never got an email from Adsense..i hope its not in my junk list..But i would be worried before opening it...really worried!.
Now, you guys are lucky, i've received the email 3 times! I almost had an heart attack... I've clicked on the GMail icon and found it was just an email with news... Damn you Google!
what is written in this new letter? (short) I in germany still have not got this letter. will now everyone become more money? ;-))
Yeah just got mine.. especially since I was asking about a layout on one of my sites... I really shat my pants.. hee hee.. all is good though..
When I get emails from Google and I feel like panicing I stop and ask myself "Am I a 15 year old who used my mom's name for my account and got my 5 friends to click on my ads every day until I had accumulated $80 in 3 months?" and I answer "No" and remind myself it's probably just some TOS change so Google can better index my life on line and my thoughts in my head.
Haha. Thought it was just me. I'd just recently had an exchange with them about some appropriate usage questions too.
I never get very worried. I know I'm not doing anything out of the ordinary. I guess there's always the possibility that someone may screw me over but even if that happens, I have faith that Google would look at my case and see I did no wrong myself. That might not be how it works but honestly, getting booted out of Google isn't something that crosses my mind very often.
I could see how a Google email would be nerve-wracking, considering the "I've just been banned threads".
Me too....after reading some threads in here.I've even put building new sites I have ideas for on hold until I get my first check (Probably about 2 months time)........
