Sad end to my Adsense Golden dream

14 years ago

I'm really sympathetic with you, but this is google, do whatever he wantsو NO ONE can ask him why...

I have faced the same situation last month, and believe it or not, my adsense account which was disabled due to fraud click activities did not generate one click over 3 months, almost 5-10 clicks along this period...

Try to forget and focus on affiliate marketing through your blogs, it's far safer on the long run...

Best wishes

Thanks

I am so sorry to hear this but I've heard this many times before.

I recommend what was said above, promote affiliate links on your blogs.

I also recommend that you build a list that you own and control. And maybe even eventually create your own product so that you are in more control of your income.

Good luck in the future. :-)

That's odd...I haven't heard many good things with Adsense, yet some people do pretty well with it.

That's because you spend too much time on the WF.

99.99999999% of adsense users love it, and keep their accounts.

The other 0.00000001% posts their complaints here.

The more people try and shmooze the system, don't read or
care about the TOS, and other shtuff, the more google will
crack down.

Nobody has any real reason to be worried. Nobody. But people
bring stuff on themselves, then blame google for taking out
the trash. It's google's program. It's not a right.

There is no program easier as adsense. Telling people it's the
best thing to get banned, or you are better off, or other such
rot is just a case of misery loving company.

It's quite funny to hear such nonsense about google and adsense
on the very day they reported yet again, record profits.

They have no reason to be lenient with anyone. They have
no obligation to be lenient.

I don't think that figure is 99.99999999% at all.

But, you are right that people bring disaster upon themselves and they have NO ONE to blame if they get banned, in at least 97% of the cases.

Even right now, we still have people complaining that any CTR below 5% is "too low". They totally forget that Google's obligation is to the advertisers. So, if the advertisers are not getting a good conversion rate from your high CTR ad clicks, Google have no qualms dispatching your Adsense account off, at any time.

It doesn't matter if you are a high earner or not. I'm seeing increasing cases of big earners who were themselves playing with fire getting the "invalid activity" ban email these days.

I'd put it closer 99%.

Normal people doing normal things have nothing to fear about
adsense. I can't believe how people can live their lives, cowering
in a corner, just waiting for google to hammer them. Why?

What the freak are you people doing with your websites?!?!?!

I disagree with that I was a newbie with my first blog I was slowly getting clicks on the adsense ads it took over a year to build up to the $100 pay out and then some idiot messed it up by repeatedly clicking the ads so I got banned and did not get the pay out.

I wrote asking why I was banned and they were kind enough to let me know they tracked the isp to Melbourne, but when I explained the isp was not mine but from the other side of the country and it was not my doing it made no difference to them,

So I ask you if a stranger comes to your site and clicks on your ads over and over again is that your fault? and how can you stop it if you are unaware of this until you get the banned email from google?

I do agree some people do try to wrought the system but for those that try to do the right thing also become convicted without a trial.

Yeah, Google has gotten kinda arrogant over the years, but there are other monetization options out there. Don't let this setback deter you. instead, make it a rallying cry of sorts. Adopt the attitude that not posting ads on your blogs/sites will ultimately be Google's loss, not yours.

It's not only dealing with clicks.

Rest assured there's a valid reason why you got banned. There's NEVER a ban for no reason at all.

Claim innocence all you want, but you need to be looking at where you were getting traffic, ad placements and all that. If your ads were placed in a ninja type way in order to try and increase your CTR, you'll get banned.

First off. It's going to be OK. In the grand scheme of things it may not even be much, and here's why.

Have you heard of affiliate marketing? If your sites are already targeted into niches where products exist (evidenced by the fact that people are buying ads) then simply seek out those products or services and become an affiliate.

Re-tailor your sites in this manner and see where it takes you.

I wouldn't sweat it at all. There's way more money in affiliate marketing. Re-calibrate your sites for affiliate marketing and get into other adsense-style networks. I use Adsense, but it's a tiny portion of my income.

Don't quit. Live and learn. You can carry on. Many people making money online don't use Adsense at all.

Google continues to crack down on sites whose sole purpose is to generate revenue through Adsense.

If you build a site that is content based and actually offers real value and incorporates adsense you won't get banned.

If you build a crap MFA site it's likely you will.

Why? Because ADVERTISERS want legitimate visitors who will actually buy something... it costs them money to have MFA sites just pulling exit traffic which doesn't convert.

I agree with this, except for the part I bolded. It should probably say:

"If you build a site that is content based and offers real value, you might not get banned."

Not a guarantee, there are too many outside influences that can make your account a "risk to advertisers" even if you are on the straight and narrow.

I lost my Adsense account when I got crossways of a syndicate that was scraping my sites and stripping out the links (or worse). I started reporting them, as requested by Google. They figured out it was me, and click-bombed my account into oblivion.

After much digging, I finally got an explanation from a live Google employee. They told me that a) even though they could find no evidence that I did anything wrong, I was still a risk to advertisers and b) I was still banned for life.

So my advice is, go ahead and use Adsense while you develop alternate income sources. Much like traffic generation, relying on a single source of income is riding an unstable bomb over a bumpy road. You don't know when, but sooner or later, you lose your rear end...

Oh boy, I second the sympathies that have already been offered. Here's a question: if were making money off of Adsense already, you must've been generating some traffic. Can you monetize this traffic another way? Another ad network, affiliate links, etc? Just because it's not Adsense doesn't mean it won't make you money.

This also applies to pure search engine optimization. You spent years to write great content and did your best to meet the Google Guidelines but one day, you found all of your hard work disappeared without any reason. So guys, when you get enough money from Google, you have to think up some other money making plan instead of Google as you do not know what's the next move of Google and your business is under risk.

I've had the same Adsense account since literally the week they launched it about 8 years ago. If your content doesn't suck - if it's unique and on topic, etc. - and if you don't do anything to break their TOS, you should be fine. But it's Google... they have a history of making arbitrary decisions and changing their minds. That's an inherent risk with any third party. So you become an Adsense publisher knowing you've given up control over the ultimate decisions re: your income stability. It's not for the weak of heart. But the bad outcomes are far outweighed by the good. I've made a good chunk of money for 8 years now. And I'm far from alone. Just play by the rules and give good UNIQUE and targeted content. Stay away from dodgy tricks and incentivizing clicks.

My adsense account was banned years ago. I had done nothing wrong - they were on an authority site in my niche. My forum members were clicking the links - um.....scuse me? Isn't that what they are there for? Google didn't seem to like it that people on my site would click the links. I guess they only wanted breeze through traffic clicking links. Anyway - not my loss. I just put up more affiliate sites instead and make dollars instead of cents from my site clicks. Google gets insane at times. If they treated all sites like mine they'd lose most of their own income. Go figure.

I never said I got banned "for no reason" - I understand the reason very well, and I don't even disagree with it.

As long as I was on that syndicate's **** list, I was a risk to advertisers.

Even if you have a record of unproductive clicks (clicks that failed to generate some expected level of sales or other conversions), your site is a risk to advertisers. Some will say that it's the advertiser's responsibility to block their ads from your site, but Google doesn't see it that way.

Suzanne mentioned putting Adsense on her forum and her members clicking ads. If the clicks/conversions from her forum were way out of line with similar forum traffic, they assume something is hinky and take the basic zero-tolerance reflex action. "Ban 'em all, there's plenty more where that came from..."

Now where are those guys with sky high CTR who proudly proclaim that anything less than 5% CTR is way too low for them?

The OP has never shared his CTR, but likely it was too high. Google will never tell you your CTR is "too high"......and then ban you. They will always use terms like "invalid clicks"/"invalid activity"/etc. Assuming everything else is ok.....

And yet there are people here happily declaring 10-50% CTR is normal. :rolleyes:

What about going to advertisers directly and selling them spots to advertise? This is what Google does, why can't you? Everyone forgets that it can be the other option, not only CPA or affiliate marketing. People, if you get banned, do some work and if you are in top 10 results with some good traffic then you can still save your site...

do get your domain banned i would think you would really be doing some blackhat stuff otherwise i think it's more likly that only the adsense user will get banned!

and yeah like you said no reason to give up!
even no reason to stop using adsense!
try to find the mistake you made and correct it if it wasn't your fault you don't have to change anything like if you are the victim of a adsense bomb (one user clicking your ads mutiple times to get you banned)

so open an llc and make a new adsense account this way!
if you have a lot of sites open a couple of llc's to limit your risk!

if you don't even want to open an llc than ask your members of your family or friends and if you want to thank them for the favor give them 10% of the adsense profits or whatever...

so just DON'T GIVE UP!!!
there are ways to keep using adsense!
and even if you don't want to use adsense anymore there are even more ways to make good money

so no reason to be sad buddy

yeah and please don't forget that even if you sign up for a new account in a different account holder's name but you will still be using the same domain name or website then it will still be the same thing your account will not be approve since the domain/website is also banned not just the person.

Of course that Google didn't disable your AdSense account for no reason. You must have done something wrong.

How do you work that out? Can you control what traffic comes to your site? i.e. dodgy bots. Thought not.

Of course you can't control traffic type. But if you notice something suspicious on your adsense or analytics account (eg. click bombing) send an email to Google. They will solve this they won't disable your account.

You are so wrong... Never ever send any email to google, it's like killing yourself. I was just following a thread last month from the very first start. The guy post his site was bombing by some idiot and he was worry about it, somehow his followed a suggestion like yours...Guess what??? next fews days google banned him! he through he'd be on the safe side saying google what's going on, but he was wrong. He might be come here to post his experience.

I've been watching these treads and will be testing other ad networks such as infolinks, kontera etc. I know they won't earn anywhere near as much as Adsense, yet maybe enough to build many more sites. I'm guessing and I'm hoping someone will correct me on this, the services which are the largest in the PPC industry are also be the ones I would want to target for Adsense type sites.

Thanks

Seems to me there's some googly agents here - either that or people fit only for internet cannon fodder. Creepy forum.

How can anyone defend google saying - 'they must know what they're doing' . My first adwords account was suspended and I got a mound of emails contradicting each other - I still don't know if I'm banned for life or not ! Do I care? I only tried adwords out because google kept spamming me about trying adwords and sending me voucher codes.

Yes, you sad google defenders - google, the biggest collector of emails, are spammers. Abusers of the internet. Unsafe for decent people to give them their email.

Google makes Microsoft, Michael Corleone and George Bush seem like babes in push chairs. Power corrupts.

I also believe Google are breaking trading law in Britain - but then they're smart enough to work from Ireland.

I'm looking at creating a massive traffic generating site by making these jerks look the monkeys they are...

The bigger they are...

I've never heard of someone's account being cancelled because of inactivity. Yes, for fraudulent clicks, I mean how can you be in control of whether someone clicks or not onto an ad. Or maybe I just misunderstood your situation

I must admit after reading this thread - Im worried about my adsense account !

I did some further research on Google themselves, and it doesn't seem to be uncommon for people to get banned with no explanation. As far as I can see if one rule is broken even if it's by a third party Google see you as a liability and cancel your account :/

Thanks

Google does seem to need a reason to ban your account and I think what is worse is that once it is banned it is near impossible to get it reinstated.

Google has forgetten who were the advertisers that helped make them who they are.

This is another reason not to put all your income sources into one basket.

Here is a list of some possible replacements for adsense income.

  Google has not forgotten. That's why they ban the idiots who
  steal money from their advertisers....
  
  I think people have forgotten about the advertisers...and think
  they can just do whatever they want to.
  
  There is no viable adsense alternative except selling your own ad space.
  
  Just because people don't know all the rules, refuse to read all the rules,
  refuse to follow all the rules...refuse to follow ALL rules to the letter...
  
  There are many, many, many adsense TOS rules that nobody seems to
  care much about. I'll give you five.
  
  1) Follow all google webmaster guidelines, or at least don't break any.
  
  2) Follow all google TOS & guidelines for ANY google product. That includes
  +1, +, youtube, gmail, maps, you name it.
  
  3)Don't have a webpage that has no content above the fold. This has
  always been the TOS. Just now people are falling all over themselves
  about some new thing from google about ads above the fold. Complete
  lunacy.
  
  4)Your webpage had better have a reason to exist other adsense. if
  it doesn't, it breaks the rules.
  
  5)Don't put adsense on pages where users add comments. That's one
  that tons of people ignore. Why does google say this? Because
  users should never be able to add content to your page that an
  advertiser is paying money for. They should not have to see their
  ad on a junk page. Note: All comments are spam. No comment is
  ever going add value to a page. Plus, advertisers should not have
  to ever check to see what crapola is added to a page that their
  ad is on. Now chew on that one. Oh I know. Everybody allows
  comments and mine aren't spam. Exactly the mentality I'm talking
  about.
  
  I'd wager that over 50% of those reading the above are not
  going to give a rat's hat, and are breaking them now.
  
  I could go on and on. There are TOS that people just don't give a
  rat's behind about. If you did not know all the above, well, now you
  do. But it just shows how much people do not know.
  
  Read their adsense blog, webmaster blog, etc. They are always
  adding.

  I must admit I have not come across this one before. Its clear that the comments change the content (unless its a facebook plugin I believe) but I have read the TOS and have been following it for a while now.
  
  Could you post any links or sources to this. Its not that I m not a believer, but I just want to be informed as much as possible.

yeah bummer dude. Adsense and google is tough to figure out their next step. This is a good lesson to you to not put all your eggs in one basket. Try branching out into other forms of making money, cpa offers, amazon, etc and set up sites that don't rely on one another. I hope that you have some stats on the site so that you can gather some data and look and see where your traffic was coming from.

Thanks

If you have Adsense sites, don't "advertise" them and talk about them on forums just keep it under the radar to limit click bombing etc.

If you can, have adsense on AS FEW sites as possible and disable on all sites which dont make money anyway, each unnecessary site is another potential site which can be click bombed or getting invalid clicks.

Avoid places like blogger.com and similar which are highly prone to getting click-bombed.

Treat your Adsense account like a treasure and be careful, that's all i can say.

Thanks

This is exactly what happens more often than not.

I'm watching a thread right this minute where people are tripping over themselves to purchase a service that sets them up with CPA Redirector and purchased traffic which is then automatically redirected (read "forced clicks") to Amazon affiliate links.

Clearly a serious violation of Amazon TOS but most of those folks either didn't read or do not understand the TOS.

Sorry to hear that bud. Try Amazon instead. I hear a lot people get banned, try Amazon and end up making more than they did with Adsense.

Worth a bash anyway.

All those whose accounts got disable citing "Invalid Click Activity" should drag google to court. In most cases even without a single click for months, accounts get disabled by google. A day may come when no one will care adsense and google start requesting people to join adsense.
