So I got banned from adsense for an innocent mistake I made, I left ads up on a site and I used a traffic exchange without realizing it was against TOS (over a year ago, I totally wasn't privy to getting on Google!)

Now I get a lot of views but I have no adsense, any way to get back on there, nothing blackhat, just anything that anyone knows?

Thanks

    Why would you use a traffic exchange? Those are pretty worthless in the first place.

    Best bet is go with CPA affiliate ads if you insist on using these traffic methods, any CPC is probably not going to be happy with it.

      Sorry, maybe I wasn't clear, I used traffic exchanges a long time ago, I have since realized how useless they are and no longer do

      Yeah, I could agree with you on that every single time. Traffic exchange websites bring you "untargeted" visitors. Don't forget, these same websites have other webmasters just like you who have one thing in common and that is to get traffic.

      They come to your site in order to do one thing and that is to get more credits for themselves so that more people will come to their. It is a vicious cycle that no one benefits from and the new people who are new to the online marketing world are duped to fail with this strategy.

      The only person who wins from this is the program owner who knows this stuff that I just talked about.

      Traffic exchange websites should be BANNED.

      The same thing happened to me too. I would not work with them because even if you get a new account somehow, they will still find that out and ban you again. You don't want to do that when you earn some money and then you find out that they banned you and they will for sure hold your funds.

      They will do that. Move on to bigger and better things.

    There are other ad networks that you can use apart from Adsense. Do a search for "adsense alternatives".
