    If you see someone having sex with your girlfriend, will you likewise give him a warning
    to get off her (depending how you define get off) before physically removing him?

    I don't see how that is related with Google and its TOS. Thats too personal and Google and TOS are just rules. I know you as a law abiding citizen Dave but wouldn't that would be too much to be compared with?

    Oh, the OP was complaining at the lack of warning on Google's part. While what he said is
    a nice thing, I wonder how many of us are willing to do the same for similar situations.

    The gmail account associted with my adsense account is still active but when i sign into adsense with this same email i get the message "ACCOUNT DISABLED" and yes they did mention the UNUSUAL ACTIVITY...and the provided a link for me to fill an apeal form which i filled and i just got a reply from google this morning that my appeal has been DENIED..so i couldnt be anymore frustrated rightnow...i did try that you you provided and it said that my domain is Not Banned..but whats the difference now when google itself has given me a direct rejection

    I dont understand whether you are trying to make humor out of my misfortune but you have the right so say whatever you like,,i dont think you would have made that type of reference if i was somebody you know personally know or perhaps what happened to me happend to you,,..whats done is done and i am being strong to move on and rebuild damages,,what i expect from people here is to offer me ways i get get back on track and offer advices on other programs i could look into that can possibly help to make a financial recovery for my loss instead of make me feel bad about what happened..Am am currentky searching and looking into other ways i can ake a good fortune online without adense for now..And when i do I will share my Success with DP members and how you can also partake in i with me

    yes thats what life is all about,,turning ugly situations around and moving on to something better

    Just maybe a few things to help you start over, OP: no one really has to tell you anything
    unless they see fit, or if somebody asks. And having arguably unrealistic expectations can
    lead to issues like what just happened.

    Look on the bright side: it could've been worse, especially if you read about Frank Kern and
    his run-in with the U.S. FTC years ago. Imagine if you did what he did, and you won't even
    get the slightest warning whatsoever.

    I wish you well on your next venture. And I'm sure you'll make that $3,700 back.

    I think the moral of the story has been already said in a previous post. "dont mess with big G"
    Words to live by if you want to use THEIR program.
    As always, "he who has the gold, makes the rules." Knowledge is power. Sometimes its wise to do a little reading before you end up in the pickle jar. ie banished from making EASY money. Greed is a terrible thing.

    You can sue them. Take them to small claims court

    Another lesson learned: Never Forget to Read Through the Terms and Agreements of whatever company you will be signing in. Say for example Google. Let's make sure we all know what the legalities entails to whatever we are involving ourselves at. It's really tough because reading through these documents is not exciting but truth be told, it's way more practical and ideal if we are all aware of these legal facts. Be better safe than sorry.

    And for leoxurious, I wish you well. It was a hard lesson learned, I believe, but there's more to life than fortune. I'm pretty confident you'll be able to get back what you lost, this time coming in clean and legal. Working hard and persevering. Best of luck!

    lol you just lack experience. check my early posts here. Google has been sued, lost, and ordered to reinstate banned accounts multiple times already. in the long run, their ToS should probably be state-controlled and revised, since they're totally fucked up. quoting Aaron Greenspan who was mentioned above,

    basically all that Google's AW/AS ToS say is.. "we can fuck you up any time and in any fashion we deem suitable, with or without a reason, and you can do nothing about it". that is NOT a legally defendable position in any sane country (especially not from a company which is essentially a monopolist), and I'm absolutely sure it's just a question of time till they'll get slapped legally into obedience. I'm surprised it hasnt happened yet given American trigger-happy lawyers.

    I'd be interested in seeing a link or evidence that Google Adsense was successfully sued and ordered to reinstate a banned account? I know of one case where a guy sued in small claims court, initially won funds (not a reinstatement) but the decision was overturned and they lost in the end.

    that was the guy I was citing - Aaron Greenspan - his case made some waves. he did lose in the appeal process but his victory in the first instance is already a positive sign. outside of the US, Google has lost several times already - check out the NavX case from one of my early posts (that's AdWords though). also, even if Google wins in court, it doesn't necessarily mean that Google is right and the webmaster is wrong. the most recent case of http://consumerist.com/2011/07/google-deletes-last-7-years-of-users-digital-life-shrugs.html where a longtime Google "apostle" got all his Google stuff banned (erroneously) for alleged child porn and had it all reinstated - but only after making a major scandal and going up to Matt Cutts and Google's VPs - is sort of telling. I don't know why he doesn't sue Google for moral damage or something - might work out.

    You can't sued someone if you are not rich and they are. They will crush your life before you get a chance of a fair trial.

    Maybe I need reading glasses ... but where in the Adsense TOS does it prohibit buying advertising traffic? For instance: paying for an ad on Digital Point to attract people to a website on which there are Adsense ads.

    You can read their terms here. Instead of reading glasses, maybe just use your zoom feature on the text. ;)

    Because you need a demonstrable cause. No sense spending maybe 4 grand over a "This
    bastard hurt me for X and I want him to pay Y" case without showing materially how that
    happened, more so if something already covered that like the provider's legal prints.

    Even challenging a provider's contract can be costly. Greenspan may have "won" against
    Google in that small claims case, but that's as far as he was able to go.

    Hmm, the OP's banned it seems...
