Google Adsense accounts being closed

Well, as the saying goes, "Don't put all your eggs in one basket"!

I would never count on Adsense alone for my income. Even the big players took a hit with the latest Panda algorithm.

Just like your investments, diversify, diversify, diversify.

Not necessarily.

I've been in the AdWords game long enough to know that people mistakenly get banned sometimes complete with the "never contact us again" message. It takes a lot of time and persistence to get the right person on the phone and get it fixed. But it DOES get fixed when you get someone with the authority to investigate and fix the issue.

Sometimes it's a robot error, sometimes it's a human error.

Mistakes happen and I don't doubt that it happens with AdSense accounts just as often as it does with AdWords.

Let's get to the meat of it - the people you "hear from" are those who cannot get an adsense account or who have been banned.

There are thousands of people who have used adsense for years with no problem - I'm one of them.

We read "I did it wrong but I didn't know - how do I get my adsense account back" many times. Others try to get as close to the "line" as possible without doing something against the TOS - and forget google can move the line. Others claim "I didn't know my friends were going to click the ads so many times".

Build good, useful sites - do not tell family and friends about clicking ads - do not go near a traffic exchange or buy traffic "hits" - use your common sense and you should be fine.

Google does make mistakes but most often there is reason why an account is banned. Don't provide a reason.

It's not good to have adsense as your only income - but it is a good stream of income. Stop reading horror stories and focus on building more sites.

I agree this one..And try to submit your site to maximum search engines.

How do you go about analyzing how much traffic you need to justify Adsense ads?

I agree. Most people don't really tell the real stories behind what happened. They're maybe telling you that they're 'innocent' and claiming they don't know the reasons they got banned, but most of the time they at least have an 'idea' why they got banned. Don't just believe everything that you read online.

All these stories about getting banned and stuff will eventually get into your head and makes you somewhat paranoia, in your mind you always expect to wake up one day to find that you are 'banned' from adsense. It slows down your growth! I used to be like that, i got an account with adsense, was making a decent amount from adsense, but was always paranoia about getting banned (not because i did BH method or anything, i believe i was an honest publisher, but like you, i read too much 'getting banned from adsense' stories).

One day, i found that one of my adsense sites was not displaying any ads, just blank. I was panic and quickly closed my account, without even waiting for a few more hours or trying to email Google to ask and didn't even try to ask people's opinion about it. I just closed the account because i heard that if you close your account you'll get the money but if you get banned you won't see a penny. It was the most stupid thing i've ever done, to act on impulse that is.

I later found out, after my paranoia mode had settled, that it was just what people called adsense monday syndrome or something (i don't really remember the exact name, it was a few years back, i'm not even sure if such thing still exists today, maybe not?), where adsense ads did not display for a few hours or so following Monday/Tuesday. I eventually applied for adsense again after that (after some time) and was approved but it took time to get back to what i was earning before (because of ad block, advertisers' bids on keywords stuff like that).

It was silly really, but it taught me not to listen too much to the 'stories' people are spreading online. Sometimes people are spreading certain stories for a purpose, you know, so you gotta know which information you should take in and which you shouldn't.

Google isn't stupid. My guess is that if you put adsense up on the same sites again, they're going to recognize that it is on sites that were blacklisted so to speak. If you started new sites with a new account and told no one, then you might stand a chance with a new account but if you have the same address/bank account they can still catch on I'm sure.

Can somebody tell me what sort of traffic is not dangerous to google.Can you buy traffic?what sort of traffic can be bought for google adsense sites

I had my account closed with NO real reason as to why. I did NOT click on my ads and as far as I could see was within their guidelines. I see THOUSANDS of other people with the same problem... it seems to me like Google doesn't want to pay me the $40,000 plus that they owe me. I'm going to be talking to some class action attorneys. AT LEAST they could respond and say you need to fix X on your website by Y or we'll shut you down, but to tell you that they owe you over $40,000 and then block you out is CRIMINAL! http://macor.com/goggle.jpg. Look at that screenshot of what they CLAIMED they owed me. There are thousands of people like me who have been screwed by Google.
