Received the dreaded "account disabled" message today. I've replied to Google with plausible evidence against it. I'm not too worried because I haven't done anything, and have proof (comments in an online forum with somebody admitting to clicking my link hundreds of times). Anyhow, wish me luck.
Good luck. I'm sure that you'll see that Google isn't the monster it's made out to be. Let us know how it all turns out.
Thanks guys. I'm not going to post the link to the "evidence" I have quite yet. I did some checking, and realized G banned me almost exactly a week later (down to the minutes). Does this mean it was automatic?
Please keep us posted. Now newbies note his/her (srry) reaction. Calm. Relaxed. And Mature. That's how you reply to Google .. .especially when you did nothing wrong. Skinny
Just an advice: If you want positive responce I'd recommend that you delete posts about adsense from your forum, especially this post (visible in reply): "Originally Posted by younghistorians: Over the last couple of days, you may have noticed the addition of a small Google ad at the bottom of all forum pages. We've added it to hopefully bring in some revenue to use towards the continued operation of this forum. In addition, small contextual links have been automatically added to certain "keywords" throughout the forum. When you roll over one of these links, a clickable ad will appear. Any clicks/ad views are appreciated, as they generate income. Have a great day!" G doesnt like inviting visitors to click on their ads.
I'd have to agree with Bizz, you would probably want to cleanup the forum a bit if in fact that is there as I believe it would be against the TOS...again good luck
