Can Google Take Finalized Earnings Of Over $1800

It's gone, you can try to appeal again and again but if they say it's over, it's over. Unfortunately Google has the right to disable any account they feel is a threat to their advertisers without recourse to the publisher.

To be honest, Google in the past year has gone from a tool for users to being a monopoly with it's own interests at heart. Especially with the recent increase of how their search results weight heavily in favor or paid advertisers, related searches then Google shopping before you even see the organic searches for commercial searches.

I wish I could say Bing and Yahoo are going to be able to slip in the back door and take a lions share of this traffic away from Google, but their always trying to catch up to Google instead of being new an inventive.

I hate google. I'm really thinking about creating a site like googlesucks.com or fckgoogle.com lol

Ok Paul that is a bunch of BS, and I broke no rules according to their policy. I read it very well, and if you want to sit on your high horse and assume what happened go right ahead.

As for the people that are interested in adsense, this is what I have learned, and let this be a fair warning and lesson for everyone.

Finalized earnings doesn't mean ****. Google would rather sit on your site to the last minute before you get your finalized earnings, even though you were paid the last month, and take it all away because as the person above posted, they are a monopoly abusing their power.

I am disgusted by google, and what makes the situation worse is they also control the search engines and youtube. I've got to do some serious brainstorming today, as the system is just a complete mess.

I knew from the beginning this was not going to be easy, I just let it slide through my mind how corrupt google is.

The biggest problem with the internet is you pretty much have to game the system to get to the top of the search engines. Yet that is a no no with google.... what a joke.

Paul, Google DOES ban honest publishers that have NEVER broke a single rule, for absolutely no reason at all. Not sure why, but they do.

I was with them for 3 years, never had any holds, any warnings, no problems at all. NEVER broke any of their terms. If I had, why would they pay me for 3 years without any problems?

And I didn't make any changes to my site when they banned me. Everything was exactly the same as it was for the past 3 years, which they had no problems with.

I made payout every time. But one day I went to check my earnings, and I was banned.

Then to make it worse, they denied my appeal almost immediately after I sent it.

Literally 2 minutes after sending my appeal, I got a reply saying my appeal had been denied.

I'm willing to bet $ they didnt even READ what I had said.

So yeah, just stop.. having a high post count doesnt give you the right to just spew a bunch of crap to everybody.

You must have a very small mindset if you wont even CONSIDER the possibility that maybe.. JUST MAYBE Google really does screw over honest publishers.

Because trust me, they DO.

It sure is. DONT USE IT. LOL

Now, to the OP.. sorry man, but that 1800 is probably long gone. Let us know how it turns out though, you never know..

From here out, change those Adsense spots over to CPA banners/affiliate banners.

If you had 1800+ in earnings with Adsense, you will REALLY make a killing with CPA and affiliate marketing.

I recommend Peerfly & Maxbounty for CPA if you have never been with a CPA network before. They accept pretty much everyone. Just be honest with your application.

Yes Paul, they are a monopoly in regards to certain critical aspects of the internet, please don't tell me I have to educate you on what a monopoly is.

You were actually very offensive in what you said, so you failed at your so-called intentions.

Not going to argue with that, but thats not the case in my situation, are you trying to make an "assumption" about what I read?

Another offensive statement and another "assumption" on your part. I know that the bounce rate is not listed in the TOS, but if you read the TOS and understand that they use very vague languages, that could be tied to one of their very vague sets of criteria for sites.

By all means please do. I would really like to find the one that I violated :0.
to. As for your condescending demeanor, and your assumptions, you can only fill in the blank _______ for my response to that.

I came here to understand, warn others, and recollect myself. Not listen to someone who has completely skewed the situation.

I would like to personally thank the others for your responses. The internet marketing game is very tricky, and I wish google had been a little bit more honest.

My hands are tied because of their agreement which pretty much covers their asses in every shape and form, and I regret hoping they would do the right thing with finalized earnings, and working with a publisher that was more than willing to correct anything they deemed unworthy.

As I stated earlier, my biggest issue is figuring out the next step. Because we have to game the system to have a fighting chance, it's hard to figure out whether I should build a huge authority site, or continue on in hopes that the next step isn't a deindex nightmare.

I'm also wondering if I should step away from google analytics for the rest of my sites, or even take the current ones off? Any thoughts anyone?

Thanks,

Ryan

This story is very familiar to others I know to be true. When you add up all the money that Google just keeps from incidents like this, it has to add up!

I understand it must suck to lose your Adsense account and the money you had. But there are other ways to earn money on the internet. Those are your choices. Signing up with Adsense as a means of monetization makes you susceptible to bans from Google. It sucks that you won't get a detailed description but that's what it is, on a take it or leave it basis.

There is no monopoly on making money online, there is no monopoly on making money with ad networks, there is no monopoly on search engines, there is no monopoly on getting traffic to websites. Being the market leader, that's a different story.

Again, I'm sure it's a horrible feeling that you're experiencing, but now the road to CPA and other monetization options is completely open.

Theres a common trend here.

People who get banned always have something to say. It's never their fault.

In all fairness, why would Google who are worth Billions of $ want to keep your 1880? If your site was "naturally" earning that amount monthy, then in the long run it is more beneficial to them. If you weren't ( not saying you did anything wrong ) Then they have to take it and ban you in order to keep their customer happy in the long run.

Thats one of the main reasons why that Even though I try to make good money from Adsense I also have other sites other products which have nothing to do with Adsense

If you are dependent on Adsense 90 -100 % then google bans your account, then you are sht out of luck

Just because you never clicked on your own ads doesnt mean some competitor didnt come in and do it, (click bomb you)

does google have safeguards against this? I dont think so

you just have to pick up the pieces and move on. I lost about 15000 dollars because of the ban. I had a previously disabled account and hence, banned. Take this in your stride and move on. Really sorry for the loss.
