One of my particular niches I'm in right now is VERY lucrative via Adsense. CPA wouldn't work for it nor would it convert (have already tested it and had incredibly low success when compared to Adsense).

Does CPA work and can it make you big money? You bet. So can Clickbank, Amazon, Adsense and any other monetization method. Different monetization methods work with different niches, but I will have to say that Adsense definitely presents you with more possibilities (that always won't equate to better earnings, though).

Well I didn't mean to say that you should just stick with CPA. Maybe I didn't make that clear. My point was is that there is some kind of product somewhere- no matter what the niche- that you can promote and make money if you are willing to test stuff- BESIDES adsense. Why use adsense and send people to offers/products on OTHER websites, when you can promote THAT offer on your OWN site, and get a bigger commission than adsense would give you? It's kind of a no brainer to me. Say, for example, you have a site about worker's comp insurance. You have a whole bunch of adsense blocks that get you $10-$30 per click on (I'm just making up numbers here, I'm not exactly sure if worker's comp is that high), and say you get 5 clicks..... So you get max $150 if all 5 convert (not likely). But some affiliate network somewhere pays $50-$100 per LEAD on the SAME SITE that the adsense ad pointed to. If all 5 leads converted you could make up to $500 instead. Wouldn't you go for the CPA offer instead? I know I would. A lot of affiliate networks are cool too. Some of the AM's bend over backwards to help you meet your goals, or even try to bring in an advertiser that is not even ON their network if you think that you can get them conversions. Adsense doesn't even compare to that.... I guess it just depends on your skill level as a salesperson/marketer as to whether or not you 'd be good at converting CPA. Adsense is kinda for lazy people. lol I think sales is more fun, personally. It's more challenging, and definitely more rewarding financially if you know what you're doing.

Joseph, can you explain further? What do you mean by disabled adsense account? Does that mean he got banned 3 years ago? And how was he able to reapply a personal account? This is interesting info. Thanks man!

[Jeremy123]

maybe he can get a business account now

You are comparing two monetization methods and arguing in favour of one method (CPA) when you clearly do not understand how the other method (Adsense) works.

[beakon]

I sure hope thats the reason Joseph, these kind of threads scare me.

Yes, he was banned 3 years ago and he thought that Google will not remember, so he start with a personal account.

From what I understand, the only way is to start a business account, which helps a lot of people who have banned adsense account before. I never tried that but it's logical.

You never have to be scared. Just follow the TOS and you will be fine.

Too many people come to various Internet Marketing forums and start bitching about Google Adsense for being sneaky, not wanting to help people like us, etc. when the fact is that Google publishers are the ones breaking the rules.

So far I have never seen anyone with their Adsense account banned by Google by mistake.

[visimedia]

really sad story to hear your source of income get banned.

[TryBPO]

Good story...that was going to be my guess, Joseph. First guess was previously banned...second guess was going to be that the SITE was fine, but that he was using some kind of traffic-share and getting sketchy traffic.

[Peter Lee]

How are you getting your traffic. If Google feels it is unnatural they may get suspicious. Like traffic from traffic exchange.

Ahem Ahem!
Source: A 3rd Party CAN Get You Banned From AdSense - Blogs - Digital Point Forums

They disabled digitalpoint's account, because some third party moron used their adsense code on a casino or porn website. After appeals, they realized that he was innocent and in fact was using adsense's "allowed sites" feature and when you do that even if someone else use your codes on some other website and generates impressions or clicks, they simply won't count. So they shouldn't have banned him for that, and when they realized their mistake, they re-enabled him and APOLOGIZED for that as well.

I understand and completely agree that 99.9% time they ban you for strong reasons or violation of their TOS, but it is also true that sometime they commit mistakes as well. No body is perfect, and their automated systems are included in that too!

Just my $0.02

Should try to detect intrusions laws and conditions

[betsyanne]

If you are sure about not doing "black hat" things on your site, you can get your Google account back. You need to comb through each of your pages carefully, and check your code too. You may have been hacked. Some widgets may have let somebody in.

Go to your hosting provider too, and check your pages. Are there some you didn't make there? Check your "popular pages" on Statcounter, after putting their code on the bottom of each page. Are there pages there that should not be there?

You must fix each page and then re-apply to Google if this is the case. You can also check using Google Webmaster Tools too. Good luck!

So I just spent like 20 min reading through this whole thread as I am an adsense publisher that makes good money as well, and I was hoping maybe I could learn some reason why OP got banned for no reason and see if possibly I was making the same mistake.

And the conclusion was HE HAD A BANNED ACCOUNT FROM BEFORE?!?!?!

Dude WTF?!?! This has to be the MOST OBVIOUS REASON for a ban.

I was waiting for some profound finding to this mystery.

Epic conclusion fail...

Damn I was sh*ting bricks from this thread, thanks for the clarification Joseph

[36burrows]

These threads can be so misleading!

The OP can say whatever the hell he wants, but you'll NEVER truly know what was happening behind the scenes.

Everyone claims innocence, it's human nature man!!

[yurito]

I bet he paid for traffic

Umm I kind of think google makes determinations on a webmaster by webmaster basis. They know if each webmaster is making or losing money for Google,

not on the fact they made 10 billion last year.........so all those Adsense guys are making us money, lets keep all of them

Mate, i saw the adsense flippers site.. if my adsense account is new, and i have very little traffic to a couple of sites.. would buying these already made sites that get traffic compromise my adsense account? in terms of traffic spike?

Also, this traffic of the sites for sale get the visits from organic search engines/ keyword related? or traffic comes from backlinks/blog posts etc.. ?

thnks

That's good advice. Even a well-meaning family member may click on a bunch of ads (thinking they were helping out) and cause problems for someone's Adsense.

Question:

If i buy a 200 adsense sites network, generating over $3,500 a month and I put my adsense id code, and the sites are all good with TOS under control and everythings, what are the chances of my account getting disabled from that spike in traffic and earnings to my adsense account?

Appreciate it,

J.
