Hello Fellow Warriors,

It's been a very sad day for me - 9/11. My thoughts and prayers go out to the victims and their families. Let us all pray for peace.

On top of that, I was banned by Google today. What a sad day?

As fellow warriors are aware, Google can ban you at any time even if it's not your fault. They also retain any money you may have earned and this works out to be millions of dollars per year from Internet Marketers. We have no say whatsoever. It's either Google's way or no way.

I need your help fellow warriors

I was building adsense sites and now ruined by Google. Are there better high CTR adsense companies out there? Companies that are the same or better than Google. I just want to use niche related adsense.

Your help and advice is greatly appreciated warriors.

Cheers

    You should have followed the rules. Simple.

    You blame google? For what? for you not reading and following
    the rules?

    I'm sick of people complaining they got banned.

    You do have a say. Say that you will follow the rules.

    If your sites were like the free samples site in your sig,
    they are an adsense disaster.

    If YOU choose to use google AND choose to NOT follow the rules,
    what does that have to with google being mean and controlling your
    life?

    It's their program. They can do whatever they want.

    Google is under no obligation to pay you for clicks that may be
    fraudulent or generated by you, before and/or after they ban you.

    YOU agreed to this when you signed up. If you failed to read the
    conditions, well, you didn't read anything else either.

      Hey Paul,

      I don't know if you work for Google or not but I don't think you are in a position to make judgements without knowing me and without any clear evidence. Let me point out the following:

      1) I may be new to IM but have been educated by WF, helpful fellow warriors and therefore do follow rules.

      2) The last thing I would do is click on my own ads or advise others to do so.

      3) The knowledge I have acquired from WF and fellow warriors is extremely valuable. They taught me never to have Google ads on free sample sites, never to click my own ads and I have never done that. The ads were on a top quality hosted WP site giving valuable information to people.

      I think Google is a well respected company especially with all the other excellent services it offers and I cannot take that away from them. However, I am not happy with the adsense Department.

            My blogger blogs make money. Adsense money.

            If yours didn't, why are they bombarded with ads?

            A proper WP site? On a reputable host?
            What do either of those things have to do with adsense?
            Like a proper WP matters? Everybody here should use
            a reputable host. That's a no-brainer. I have zero WP
            sites, let alone proper WP ones. Does that mean google
            will ban me because I use php, html, and do my own sites?

            Top quality WP sites are not given a pass when they break
            the rules.

            Maybe I'm onto something. With all the WP people here, asking
            how to do this, how do that, how to fix this, how to fix that,
            maybe they just have a different mindset.

            There are plenty of other CM systems out there. Does wordpress
            just attract a different person? I say this because you keep
            emphasizing wordpress as if there's magic in it.

            You have ads all over the blogspot blog. You obviously found a way
            to monetize. Take it and run.

      Of course you are right Paul, but what I don't think is right about the way Google deals with this stuff, is that they do not tell you WHY... I had it once when I started my Internet endeavors and I still have no clue why my account was banned... But again, you are right, we shouldn't complain about the fact it happens...

    No doubt, I would have banned you to!

    Your running Ads from another network, not only that they promote sex/porn (ha, ha, Local Cougars! ), which against the Adsense TOS!

    Your site will be shut down by blogger next, watch & see!

    You guys don't need rules, just like you don't need Adsense.

      I never use adsense on blogger. Those sites don't make me any money at all.

      This was on a proper WP hosted by a well known company. The content was informative and helpful to people. I did not have any cpa offers at all, only adsense blocks.

    I feel that I have been bullied by these guys who probably work for Google. All I wanted was advice on alternative adsense companies with high CTR.

    I have to make sure that there is bread and butter for my kids. It's about an ordinary hard working guy trying to build a successful business for his kids. The last thing I want is to engage in a pointless argument and to be judged and bullied. You can do all that but the warrior spirit in me will never die.

      They don't work for Google. They are just sick of people getting mad when they are banned, usually for just reasons. If you had sex/porn ads on your sites (like Yukon says) then that is exactly why you got banned.

      There are plenty of other ad serving programs out there. Just start split testing and figure out what converts. Just be glad that you're sites weren't de-indexed.

      Sorry for your loss of income, that's tough. Just start testing different programs until you see your income rise to the level it was before. Who knows, maybe it'll be higher. Good luck.

        Thanks BlakeM. I appreciate your advice.

        One of my blogs had 'Local cougars' dating banner from a CPA company and never had adsense on that site. There was no porn/sex whatsoever and no offensive images. I never use adsense on blogs as I prefer CPA offers. This was not the site in question.

        The site that was banned was a WP site giving helpful and valuable advice to people, no cpa offers just adsense blocks. I know that it is a lethal combination to have adsense and cpa offers on the same site so I always use them separately.

    Try waiting six months then re-apply with a different email address and different IP address. Until then, use Adbrite or Bidvertiser.

    Adbrite is a good one Ross, also you can join Yahoo as well.

    Sometimes it is a good thing to have Google against you. Let me explain. The day you will make more money from your sites is the day you stop having all your eggs in one basket.

    So, Google ban you. What can you do now? Can you turn your adsense sites into affiliate sites?

    May be you can sit down and draw a good mind map. Add top quality articles each week to your sites. Give honest review of products you like and use. And of course use your opt-in services to create a list.

    Give your readers excellent value. Send them simple solutions to their problems via your messages.

    Bottom line. You can do a lot then just relying someone to click on an ad to make a few dollars.

    Don't worry so much on negative comments. They should motivate you. And come back to this thread in a few months and tell us how much your sites are making. I believe you can do it..All the best.

      Hey Kursat,

      Thanks Man. This is really good advice and one of those golden nugget answers. Much appreciated as I am still learning IM.

    You never explained why you were banned by Google. Google is in fact, on contrary to believe lenient with websites, the reason I know is we have had our fair share of problem with spam sites. If you really and truly want help, what is that you have done to get yourself banned, then, and only then can we help. The fact of the matter is you KNOW what you did, Google knows what YOU did, so share the real reason and personal response. You are on a forum board, therefore, you are hidden from an personal information, whereby you can give generalities.

      I wish just once, when someone got banned, they'd let us view one of the sites. It would help all of us, and the person who was banned has nothing to lose.
