Hands up if you've had your Adsense Account Banned

I know many many people have had their account disabled but some don't seem to be willing to admit it, don't know why.

I had my account banned or disabled, as they say, over two months ago and if I'm honest with you - I couldn't be happier!

Sure it was nice getting a few quid a month for not doing a lot but I was worrying all the time whether I was following the rules precisely, should I do this, should I not do that - it took me away sometimes from the creation of a website as to whether Google would accept the site or even allow Adsense to be placed on there.

But now - I just enjoy the Freedom that Life After Adsense has afforded me. I can even now talk about my earnings which I'm not allowed to do while I was with Adsense.

I was earning on average around £90/$150 each month on a couple of financial sites I had, with CPC of between £0.70 - £1.60

But because I had Adsense I was limited to other Ad Companies being placed on my site - now I can include Pop-ups and other ads, I'm not limited to Three ads on a page anymore and Life after Adsense - well - it's looking good.

2 months later I'm back up to around £80 per month using two different Advertisers and the affiliate earnings which are separate have risen also.

I'll also tell you - because I'm not one for keeping secrets - why I was banned...

I know exactly why I was banned - I will admit here that I made a mistake, I explained to my dear old mother when she visited how Adsense works and she says - "Oh isn't that lovely - let me help you" - click, click, click - On MY Computer' I tried to explain to Google but the Google Monster was having none of it

Anyhow - Have you been banned from Adsense and How much were you earning before they cut you off?
