My Adsense Banned. what next?

[KFpanda]

Hi,
I created one adsense account using DOCSTOC with 5 articles. Its easy way of getting adsense account. But after a month , they revised my account and said that it is Dismissed. I guess its because I did not add more content as I didnt add any copy content and also i followedadsense TOS.

Is it a MUST that we keep on adding content to Docstoc to preserve Adsense account? Else get this account with docstoc and use it on Adsense ready website with reasonable traffic so that I can escape Ban from Google.

ANy other alternative ways to preserve and get new Adsense account? I am not looking for Adsense alternatives like Clickbank etc.

Can I buy some one elses Adsense account? is it safe?

Please help.

cheers,
KFP

your account is gone. the only way of getting a new one is starting up your own company and apply again. buying adsense accounts will get you banned again after a month.

The more I see these guys with banned adsense accounts the more it discourages me. Yes people say, its their fault, but a lot of times its from people getting clickbombed and thats certainly NOT their fault

and then people say, oh Adsense will not ban you for that, they have safeguards in place. I dont agree, I have seen threads where people reported clickbomb situations and then Adsense bans them anyways

Its almost as if Adsense nowadays is rolling the dice
I
realize board members will say oh no this is BS i HAVE been with them for 5 yrs etc not a problem\

but there are way too many people getting banned IMO

its almost like the customer service of Paypal which is horrible. Why ? They dont care about their customers they have so many it doesnt matter to them.............same attitude Google seems to have

[Rony Ronch]

you can buy adsense account in adsenseg.com. Also, Try to open a blogger account and Submit a request for adsnese in the blogger dashboard, is the fastest way i know to get adsense approve. it took me 24 hours.

You are absolutely right, outwest. Their customer service is horrible. To be honest, my account was banned by them as well. Every time I appealed to them, my pleas are ignored.

I understand that they would definitely have a good reason to ban me, but even after perusing their terms and conditions (which are extremely lengthy), I didn't feel that I've violated any of the terms.

I feel I need a more specific explanation for the ban. If I don't know which line have I crossed, how am I able to change to fit Google's requirements?

Thus, I've asked for clarifications so that we can work things out, but their responses are always the same few pre-authored ones. Sometimes, I feel like I'm talking to a bot rather than a real human.

Maybe it's only me who felt so, but it seems Google isn't interested in talking things out. I'm very disheartened by the way Google treat their business partners.

I'm now exploring the possibilities of using alternative ads providers such as Chitika and AdBrite. I'd love to do business with Google, but I won't limit my choices to only them. This incident has taught me a very good lesson. =)

Since you are already banned by Google Adsense, there's nothing else for you to do except creating an account for another company's name. They won't allow you to create more than one account under your same name. Don't try to fool them, they're too smart.

Anyway, other services like Adbrite and AdClickMedia are good alternatives to Adsense.

[outwest]

I am spending way more time lately on the CPA board
I dont like having so much of my business vulnerable to a Billionaire greedy Goliath like Google, who could snap their fingers and POOF THERE GOES 1000s per month, no chance to even get an explanation, thats it YOU ARE BANNED

I dont like another company having control of my income like that

No seriously, you won't be able to get your account back. You can try asking someone in your family to sign up and you can use their account for your site instead. I won't recommend buying someone else adsense as you might just waste your time after Google finds out that it's not really yours.

I read a recent post by a member here that said that if you aren't doing anything wrong, your account won't be banned by Adsense. I'm still worried though!

Thats BS
If they decide to ban you for being clickbombed, just how is that "you doing something wrong"?

and google bans accounts every day where someone else clickbombed the person.

All in All adsense can make you good money BUT if they feel you have violated their rules for any reason, POOF your account is banned, nothing you can do about it.

Now you can apply for another acct in a business name sure but

lets say you are #1 on google and have a domain ranked and Adsense was on that site

then they ban you

you apply for another account in a business name which gets approved

you then slap that account on that same domain which sits at #1? and they are not suspicious? You dont think they put your domain on an adsense HAS BEEN BANNED list? think again

[36burrows]

Get off these forums if you're so worried about your Adsense account being banned. There's a lot of crap information here and yes, most of the people who come here complaining about getting banned will more than likely have a valid reason, even if they're claiming innocence.

You can tell just by reading their posts and the type of questions they ask that they shouldn't have had an Adsense account to begin with because they didn't know what they were doing.

Ignore the horror stories, don't do stupid things, and you don't have anything to worry about.

Although I do agree that Adsense shouldn't be your only source of income.

when you become a moderator and can decide who stays on what forums let us know

until then let people vent, and keep patting yourself on the back

oh and if YOUR account gets banned for being clickbombed dont come crying (because that never happens does it)

[cooler1]

Clickbombing sounds really odd. I thought that if someone clicks an Ad, then it would only count as 1 valid click, so why would Google ban an Adsense publisher if someone clicks their ads lots of times?

err because they think the webmaster is trying to scam Google

many people have been banned because their competitors clickbomb their adsense! You can report to adsense if you see anything strange on your account ...

[IMSince2003]

Try commission junction. You can do really well with them in a whole lot of niches.

[Melvolio]

Is this a joke?

You got your Adsense account by uploading 5 articles to Docstoc and now are complaining that Google took it away from you?

Google is a business. Why would they allow someone so evidently unprepared to host their ads?

Won't happen, I've already taken the necessary steps to protect myself.

But go ahead and keep defending the people who are clearly not playing by the rules and just call it being "click bombed".

So how do you protect yourself from being click bombed?

Here: Protect Your AdSense Account from Click Bombing Invalid Clicks | Webmaster Crunch

Wasn't THAT difficult to find.

[Maraun]

That's a good link 36burrows, but none of these tools can protect you completely from click bombing as all of them can be circumvented in some way. If someone is really out to bomb you, you can't do anything apart from hoping that you see it in time to

a) disable the ads
b) report it to Google
c) hope for the best

I guess it also depends on the kinds of sites you are building and how you are backlinking them. If you have 20 thin MFA sites and all of them are obviously only gaining backlinks through XRumer or BMR or whatever a manual reviewer won't think twice about shutting you out. If you have a legitimate site the chance of that happening might be much lower. I'm just speculating though.

[tylerjaysen]

yeah sometimes it's difficult to get a straight answer from google as to why they banned or terminated your account. The best advice...if you want to continue adsense...is to start over..new account....new IP, new name, etc. And make some killer content that is unique and make articles like 700 words.

[KFpanda]

@Melvolio: But Niche sites have hardly 2 or 3 articles and get their Adsense approved.Right.?

[paulgl]

Outwest, a lot of feelings that are just not right.

I'd say clickbombing is NOT a way to get banned. People
mistake clickbombing for click fraud. Not the same. All
sites get clickbombed from time to time. I guarantee it.

Clickbomb would be very low on the list of getting banned.

And if you keep allowing it, it is your fault, not google's.
That's the key. You don't think NYT, failblog, etc. get
hate clickers bombing? It's probably more common than
you think. I don't really mean "keep allowing it." What
I mean is your traffic sucks. All the time. You are getting
idiotic, crummy, bonehead traffic that does not know
their head from their tail.

Clickfraud and blatantly breaking the rules will get you banned.

Invalid clicks via click bombing is not clickfraud. I'm 100%
sure that google has ways of dealing with this all the time
without banning people. They have to.

There's a whole host of adsense TOS that people ignore.
Tons of it. When people say they got banned for no reason,
what they mean is, they did not read all the rules and decided
that everything is okay on their site.

How many of you read and follow google webmaster guidelines?
If you don't, that alone is breaking TOS. How many friggin people
come here, you scan their page, and know right away they are
breaking the guidelines, then tell us they got banned for no
reason?

Google had revenue over $10 billion last quarter for the first time ever.
They don't need you or your crummy sites. Give them ANY reason
to ban you, and they will, whether you know the rules or not.

Crummy sites is relative. We all have semi-crummy sites, looking for
an adsense click. But we choose to read and follow all rules. Not
just the ones that are convenient.

Some people have nothing to worry about. Choose to be one of those.

I don't get why someone would be scared of any affiliate program. Every single affiliate program has rules (TOS) they will all ban you If your doing things that break the TOS, it's not just Adsense.

If your going to be scared your in the wrong business (affiliates).

I'm not just blowing smoke or BSing, I've never once worried about Google/Adsense banning my account. I'm not saying it can't happen (obviously it can), I'm just saying there are 100's of other ways to monetize my traffic.

Just because they take away an Adsense account doesn't mean they take away your traffic. The traffic is what earns you money, the affiliate program is a product that can be replaced.

Don't worry so much.

[TBInternetMarketing]

I had this problem with my adwords account. You can get banned for doing nothing by Google. That's how they roll. I guess you could try opening up another account but you will need a different IP address on your pc, or a new pc.

Never put all your eggs in one basket though. Especially when Google is involved.

[Melvolio]

"

I have no idea. I got mine approved because I had a website with visitors who could increase Google's revenue.

Google, and I only know this because it's basic business practice, wants to deal with publishers who will provide potential customers for their advertisers. They don't exist so that you can make a couple of bucks, they exist so that they can make billions.

Anyone offering a quality platform for hosting ads should have no problem being approved. You're trying to build a business here, why go in half-assed?
