Hello,

Got an email from Google saying they close my account. Not sure what the problem is. I only had one google ad banner in the right sidebar with no google competing ads. Maybe they think the content is copyright? If so then how do all the other site like mine get by without getting banned too? I can list dozens of popular site like mine.

Check it out and tell me what you think?

Thanks,

    I don't really see anything wrong. Maybe someone (or yourself) clicked on the ads. Could have been your traffic source.. I wouldn't know. You should try out some other ad networks.

    Traffic was just coming from major social networks. My daughter clicked a Disneyland ad one time but that was it. Maybe they don't like my video player?

    Has anyone successfully appealed and got their account back?

    You are banned because of some adult images and videos i think. Especially the movies are tightly copyrighted and they do great care about such things...

      They're just viral videos from youtube and viral funny pics. You might see some PG-13 content but nothing adult.

        PG-13 is too adult for adsense. Google has strict rules for adsense, as opposed to
        youtube.

        Do you want to know the way google actually puts it? They put it this way:
        Will you be comfortable sitting with your 5 year old daughter at the computer
        watching it? Would your neighbor like it if you were showing that to their
        6 year old? It has to be appropriate for all ages.

        So, by your own admission, you were doing pg-13. That's not for all ages.

        If you did not know this, it just makes me tell people more and more.
        Read the rules. From top to bottom. Read their updates, as this is where
        the longer explanations go for those who wish to always want to cross
        the line.

        what's funny, is that you have this video: Picking Up Girls With a Fake Boner Prank
        And you have to ask here why you were banned? Come on man.

        If you were disappointed in your results today, lower your standards tomorrow.

    I advise you to build niche sites and run your ads there, drive traffic and earn big money.

    That's exactly why you were banned.

    You assumed other sites were scraping content so it must be ok.

    If you read the Adsense TOS that you agreed to, you would know it's not ok to scrape content & have zero unique content on the same site.

    Just because another person does something wrong & gets away with it, doesn't make it ok.

    That is probably the reason. Majority of your site's content came from other sources and no original ones. A site should always have original content for it to be effective. Scraping content is a huge deal though not everyone is caught. You were just unlucky that among thousands, they found you.
