AdSense automatically suspends accounts if you get a lot of clicks or views in a short time just as a precaution to their advertisers (who they are getting paid from). They usually just want to make physical contact with a person instead of an account to make sure you're legitimately promoting your site and you're not a bot making AdSense accounts before they start allowing you to collect advertiser money.

if you are persistent and honest they will always give you your account back.

There are a lot better ways to monetize a site that and using AdSense. you just have to know what kind of traffic works for what kind of site and what affiliate programs will monetize that traffic. AdSense is getting too diluted now and the price per click is getting ridiculous.

To put it in simple terms- You wont be banned if you adhere to its TOS. I got banned once, however, they revoked ban after an appeal.. It took almost 6 weeks though!

[outwest]

I think I felt the same way I was afraid of getting banned

but after talking to a lot of webmasters who are perfectly ok and fine with Adsense and making good money I realized a few things

1. there are a LOT of people signing up for adsense who have no idea what they are doing

2. there are a LOT of people who have no idea what the TOS for Adsense are, and who have not gone out and REALLY SPENT THE TIME.........TO MAKE SURE....that they are doing things the right way, and following all the rules

3. Heck there are a lot of newbies who dont even know about forums like Warrior forum and go in totally deaf dumb and blind and do things totally the wrong way

So given these circumstances and the huge number of clueless people that sign up with Adsense

IMO It is almost expected that Adsense will be banning accounts of these people left and right

its their own fault for not taking the time to study the TOS and taking the time to study and learn what they are doing before just walking in blind and expecting things to go their way


In Short take the time to learn the Adsense TOS and be sure to follow them. Its very important
who wants to have their acct banned

You won't ever be banned from Google Adsense for no reason, the reason why many get banned is because they don't respect their TOS. Many of them don't even read the TOS.

Why would Google want to ban you for no reason? If both, Google and the Webmaster get's benefited, together with the advertiser?

I have heard of people saying that Google bans them because they don't want to give them the money they have accumulated in their account. That is ridiculous.

Read their TOS, follow their TOS, and you'll be alright.

However, if you ever get banned from Google Adsense, there are other ways to monetize your websites, some which could probably bring you more money.

They don't ban people for no reason. Read their TOS, and follow those rules. Take some extra time to go through their rules, and if you don't understand something feel free to ask. Better to ask then risk.

After you build solid AdSense business, I suggest you to build few websites to promote affiliate products or CPA offers, just in case. You know...don't put all eggs in one basket.

[outwest]

I would bet half the people banned dont even READ the TOS, its not that they didnt do it right, they didnt even attempt to read the terms

[cfl]

Once a time I was created the ad sense account and get banned due to High Paying Keyword works

[michelcarloss]

Many people suffering this problem because they do'nt read the term & conditions of google adsence...

I think this is probably very true. So, make sure you study the TOS and don't do anything wonky.

Another thing you might look into is registering several business entities (LLC's etc..) and each one can have an adsense account which can insulate you a bit but you need to make sure you don't mix and match your adsense id's on the different sites.

If You follow Google rules 99% You wont get banned by them and if You do, for no reason, You can always try to get Your account back.

But making a living from only one source of income is always risky. You should always consider some alternative ways to make money. At first You should stick to just one until You master it and later on buy/build some sites or other money making systems, where adsense isn't primary income stream.

We don't know that will happen in the future so splitting the risk is the best we can do to minimize risk.

[skyseer]

I am banned from Adsense because I followed some of the "crazy" built for you adsense sites services some time ago. They will tell you that there are no breaches. So be very careful when you are looking for help in site building and do not believe what they tell you. Always follow the TOS and do the necessary tweaks on your site if you are using such services. But, having said that, it is always a good idea to diversify the monetization of your sites because Google said that the sites cannot be built for the purpose of Adsense. That means there must be some other purpose - like giving away free information?? Adsense is a tough model to make a living, in my opinion. Maybe you would like to think of it as creating various cash flows from your websites rather than a purely Adsense model...

Yep, I am guilty of this when I got banned a long time ago when I first tried Adsense.

[cagliostro]

You can make a living from Adsense if you treat adsense like a business.

You must work daily for your adsense empire a lot of hours and expect at least a year to get results.

[intheflow]

There is a lot of mis-information in this thread.

Bottom line:

Google does ban pubs for no reason. My business is living proof of this.

I have always done things 100% whitehat, legally, morally and ethically. My sites are content rich, not many ads, good layout and have quality traffic and targeted and fresh content. I made it a point to keep up on the TOS and have followed it religiously through the years. I can honestly say that all my sites would have no problems passing a manual inspection by any sane reasonable person.

Google clearly doesn't manually inspect publishers' sites these days before banning for life with no chance of reconciliation. If they did, or actually read and responded to appeals, this sort of thing wouldn't happen.

You can absolutely do everything perfect and still get screwed by google.

A big part of the TOS that people over look is the webmaster quality guidelines. You need to follow both the TOS and the webmaster quality guidelines to keep in the good with google.

Don't be afraid grasshopper...

I couldn't agree with you more.... That's exactly the issue...

They just don't get banned for nothing... and that's a GUARANTEE.....

Do I make a living off of adsense, NO, but do I get paychecks from them, YES..

Of course Google can ban people for no fault of the site owner because you can't control what traffic is coming to your site. It's like being in a car and everyone has access to your accelerator peddle. Anyone can send dodgy traffic to someones site which has Adsense on, then the account will be closed. These cases are usually rare though.

Google automatically assumes by default that the site owner sent the traffic even if they didn't. That's the only way really to catch the crooks who intent on scamming, so they have to operate this way.

[awj888]

getting money from adsence always seems to require a lot of traffic with very little return. there are much better ways to monetize such as amazon, comission junction, and above all well targetted CPA offers!

[wegenbelasting]

I see the same thing a lot on pokerforums. People complaining the site stole there money and locked there account. Every single time it turns out they chipdumped, used a bot or were using stolen creditcards. No innocent people will get banned by pokersites or by Google.

Another person who doesn't know what their talking about.

I get ecpms of over $100 on complete auto pilot everyday.
That means I'm getting a conversion rate of 10%.
That's better then you'll see from a lot of online business.
Considering I'm not even an expert I'd say that speaks to
the power of earning with AdSense

Amazon pays **** in comparison to AdSense.
You're collecting a 6% commission ON A SALE!
With AdSense you can collect the same amount most amazon products would net you from just a click!

Commission Junction is 90% sales based with low commissions as well. And your not guaranteed to be approved for the businesses they serve.
AdSense only requires you be approved once for everyone.

As for CPA offers, if you have any moral fiber in your body you won't support that industry. With its difficult to cancel continuation billing, fine print bull****, and general lack of accountability it is the worst way to monetize.

[kolbywhite28]

Don't buy any Adsense accounts. They will quickly get banned. Get one using one of the legitimate methods.

Also, read and follow the Terms of Service. Especially so for the on-page factors.

Well well well,

I for one, make a couple hundred dollars a day on Adsense and yes, it converts and does well for me.

Until I sent a small portion of my traffic to CJ I had no idea that it was going to convert. Which did around $50-60/200 visitors. This by far did way better then adsense.

I sent a small portion of my traffic to a CPA offer, which did around a .40 EPC with a 40-50% conversion to the offer, which did a lot better than adsense.

So yes, Adsense works well and is easy to set up. IF you take the time to do your research and find other ways to monetize your websites and test, you may easily find a better way to make money.

Don't accuse someone of not knowing what they're talking about just because you have your mind set one way.

[DudeAndy]

Play by the rules, Google's rules that is and you won't get banned. But its no 100% guaranteed. Some friend of mine was banned, apparently for no reason. Made a lot of appeals and stuff but his account is still suspended.

[faceblogger]

Don't put all your eggs into one basket. Make adsense as one source of income and invest other money on other income sources too. CPA, Amazon, ClickBank, etc. Then you will be able to move ahead even one failed (just like if google ban adsense you will be still making money from other sources)

[Dennisknows]

Friend of mines just had his account banned also.. He said he was doing everything by the book; may have clicked an ad on accident once but other than that, this came out of no where.

I've never read the terms of service. I just follow a few rules. No more than 3 alike ads and no ads under drop down menus.

I've never had an issue. Is it not possible to start a new adsense account or is it just the starting over that gets adsense earners going?

@Kukelka I suggest getting your hands in more than adsense. Google recently removed one of my videos from revenue share. If I was just dependent on that one video, I would be stuck right now. I simply shook my head and went on to something else.

try a few more things. Setup some niche sites and create some passive income.

Dont know what's going on with Google but with them canceling good standing accounts, I would never put all my eggs in their basket..

best wishes you guys

My argument is with the sweeping blanket statement that amazon, cj, and CPA are BETTER ways to monetize your site.

It was never my intention to imply that AdSense was the best way to monetize. Its that sort of generalized thinking I was rallying against.

I did so by pointing out some reasons why they are not the best in every given scenario as awj888 was suggesting.

My mind isn't set one way at all as you can see.

[gomzydecor]

Hey dear don't be afraid & disgruntled. The simple reason why Google Ad-sense bans a website is because they don't strictly follow the Terms & Conditions & rules. They violate the rules. The basic thing is, you should not copy the web-content to paste it on your website & sudden drift in clicks also raises doubt in robots mind & hence they ban you.

[LBO]

this is why you never reveal your adsense domains because you can get clicked to a ban

[AfteraDream]

I am getting into this AdSense niche site stuff too. Seems legit. Got a couple of clicks but not ranking yet so that should change once the sites are in top 10.

[dvduval]

If I found a place where the rent was very low , I could just about live off of google adsense. I think it is quite possible, but also very risky because you do not have enough control of your own destiny.
