So, I've been with adsense for 6 months. My first month I've made $12, second month $30, 3rd - $50, 4th - $96, 5th - $124, so they finally paid me $240+ after 5 months. This month I earned $96 in my account, today I received a message "Your adsense account was disabled" ... I almost punched my monitor ... WTF GOOGLE. Really? So, I file for an appeal and get a response within next hour, "We are sorry bla bla bla, but you F*cked" ... great ...
Seems like I just started earning few $ from it and all of the sudden I get fking banned ... anyone else experienced the same thing? And no, I didn't ask my friends to click on ads and other bs.
I'm looking to start with adbrite right now, how do they compare? Do they still pay somewhat the same?
Sorry about the rant.

  • You probably did break one of the rules in the TOS...
  • my sites:
    Russian Cities | Guide To Russian Cities and Jobs in Rogue Valley, Free Classifieds | Rogue Valley Ads

    Both ads were placed in the right sidebar ...
  • You probably did break a rule or two. Did you have a privacy policy and compensation disclosure on EVERY one of your sites? Did you line up ads with normal images that could be deceptive?

    Chances are, you broke the TOS somehow. Anyway, I have not tried Adbrite but the only one I suggest you stay away from is Chitika.
  • Why so many people's adsense account get banned?

    Is it because that Google doesn't like small game player? ( Because the OP only make less than 100 per month) So they just want to dump out all small account and save tons of tedious work?

    • I've never been banned, and I'm no big shot. Google has strict TOS and they stick to them. If you break them, you get punished for it.
  • I just checked your website. You have 2 problems.

    1) No "Privacy Policy". This is a must have webpage if you put adsense on your site.

    2) You cross link your own website. You have a link to roguevalleyads.com on your russiancities.net and this is not allowed.

    Please read Google's TOS and program policies.

    • Since when..? Where does it say you cannot interlink your own sites with or without Adsense on?!

  • ^ Thank you. That's some ridiculous rules, but ok. I have a privacy policy when you post an ad, but I guess I should of made it always visible. At least they could of told me "hey, do this to fix it", but I guess google just DGAF ... oh well got to move on.
  • Screw'em.

    Just start promoting Amazon products instead. Everyone I've spoke to who got banned said they tried promoting Amazon products and ended up making more.

  • I think the cross linking is bad for serps (more likely to be sandboxed) not adsense
  • I think that along with the panda update, they are trying to clean up the reputation that MFA sites created. Those sites really piss people off and I know for a fact that I would never have my site listed on the google content network just for that reason.
  • An appeal will never help you. They simply reply by giving same message every time.
