Got banned?

Gilad, if your notice was like mine, they probably said something to the effect that your site presented a risk to advertisers.

In my case, it meant I ticked off the wrong people. I found a group of sites that was scraping one of my sites and republishing my articles for Adsense income - no attribution and live links removed. Once I identified the footprint (and it was obvious because they were using an automated tool), I started finding and reporting the sites. I got a little too aggressive, and they figured out that I must have been the one reporting them.

So they starting click-bombing my site. When I noticed the strange activity, I reported it to Google and was under the impression that all was well. Soon after, I got "the email" telling me I was banned from the program for life.

I went through their appeal process, and did get a nice email back from a live person telling me that even though they couldn't find anything that I had done wrong, my account represented a risk to their paying advertisers. Therefore, my account would remain closed, I would remain banned, and the balance in my account would be refunded to the advertisers.

So I got banned, the thieves got their revenge and some advertisers got a couple of hundred dollars' worth of free clicks that month.

All you can do is move on. I've been using Yahoo Publisher Network. It doesn't have nearly the inventory or pay as well as Adsense, but where I do plug it in, it's better than nothing. Brings in enough most months to pay the hosting bills...

Yes exactly, maybe someone banned you,i got only one email from google to remove some ads from one of my sites, and i did that.

Maybe if you asked in a Forum questions that pertain directly to your business about a relationship you have contractually with another business?

If only actual Google Employees were here to answer your questions.

Think about what you are asking.


It's about the same as: My Girlfriend just dumped me, I was nice to her, I took her out. Why did she dump me?

I had gotten banned from Adsense as well, but this was back in 2005. While they are probably the best PPC network out there; There are also others you can use.

Well, when I was banned, I got the, your website is producing invalid clicks, If you would like for us to reinstate your account please provide proof of where your traffic is coming from. Well, I said the SEs, it's organic, they said "Yeah Right" lol.

Since then I never looked back. I replaced those ads with clickbank's hopfeed when they came out with it, and I'm doing a million times better.

Google just doesn't ban anyone for nothing, they have a legit reason all the time, but they are getting more and more strict about who they accept and who they don't into the program.

You could always try YPN, Bidvertiser, Adbrite, or AZoogleAds and so-on.

Don't fret, just move on...

maybe someone just cheating on your adsense ..

This is the main problem with google adsense even if we follow the rules some times due to competitor clicks we will loose our accounts..i too have a bitter experience about this. One of my enemy did tons of clicks from single IP, i know the person too but i can't able to do anything and even i explained the things too google also but all efforts are wasted they simply banned my account but don't worry there are many other alternatives to earn..
