Banned by Google - Frequently Asked Questions

Your adsense account is gone, best bet would be to try to get a new one using an email from a new domain. Don't open another gmail account to do it.

When you use Scrapebox without proxies it triggers a flag from Google saying your searching too fast and the limit your IP address for a set period of time. At a minimum when your using the software you need to use the free proxies the software harvests to prevent the issue.

Are you trying to say they won't consider my appeal? I have about $168, something that took me over three years to accumulate.

What if i create another adsense account using my IP that triggered the problem?

There are loads of Adsense alternatives. Chitika is a good option for some niches. Also, consider CPA and/or affiliate ads. Do some testing with these options or a combination of them and measure your results. You might just find that you make more money with the alternatives and this was a blessing in disguise. Good luck.

Time for a new plan...cause getting back in Google's good graces won't be worth your time and effort

LLC. New name. New ip. New address. Good luck.

Can i create another adsense account from the same IP address. Atleast, they have taken the one i have, that does not mean i can't join them again.

In another thread you stated you use scraped content. I thought that was against tos? I could be wrong but I think that falls under " automated generating content"

Be positive, being banned by Google Adsense is not the end of the world. There are many networks out there that do a good job as well. Since you are off from PPC ads, why not just focus in selling direct ads at buysellads.com and do some affiliate marketing. If you can affiliate well, you don't need 3 years to earn $168.

Good luck

Just go with chitika or get in cpa. I would suggest its best way make money.

Just make new adsense account..But i'm not sure google will approve your application if you
apply from the same IP as the banned account..You'd better try it..

Getting a new account with a new email would not be an answer in my opinion. Most Guru's might say to get a LLC or other type business entity. Apply with this entity.

Also apply for a new hosting account at a different hosting company.

Different entity and different IP address.

If you aren't able to get the adsense account back then I would say try this network-LINKWORTH-this network offers various ways to make money from a single site or blog.Or you may work with affiliate marketing.

Google TOC says, you should not have two adsense accounts , you might have created it for your friend but google consider it as multiple account, that could be the reason for the ban.


.1% chance is there to get get back your account. Lesson learned and move forward .. You are not all alone with this problem.. also try some affiliate advertisement stuff and amazon.

its unfortunate, some people enjoy adsense, while some are burned, i have being banned by google three times, and recently a have a new account after several months of trying and being rejected. but i wish i know how to make money from affilliate programs, can someone help me

They suspended your adwords account? Why would they shut you down for spending money with them? I've heard of people losing adsense accounts for violating adsense TOS but this is the first time I'm learning that an adwords account was suspended.

Did you forget to pay your credit card balance?

Thousands of people have already faced what you've been presented with.

You have a couple options:

1) Reestablish a new Google account, and continue trying to work with them.

2) Learn how to become independent of Google.

I choose independence from Google.

Instead of Google PPC, learn about PPV, CPV, and paid media.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me by PM or email.

Thanks,

You may have violated their terms of service with your website or they may have screened your financial information and found something they didn't like.

Google adwords has become so picky, I got suspended and was shocked, contacted their support (who certainly ignored my emails). It came as a shock since I never had an issue with them.

I search it, apparently, Adwords, would suspend you even if they are not happy with how much you spend, if you running mini ads with low budget, they may get rid of you, they looking for big bucks.

To be honest, I am happy they doing so, I guess our money is appreciated somewhere else more. By kicking advertisers from adwords and publisher from adsense. I guess these two will just have to meet somewhere else

By the way, I am not affiliated with anyone, I don't sell click bank products, the only ads I had with adwords was for my websites. I never had a warning. I guess they weren't happy as my budget was a little low

They canceled mine today to.my website was good and everything.idk but i called and they said theres no chance of reinstatement

My account was doing very will with adsence
7k a month without any worning pooff account banned all money earned gone

Im sorry to hear that, an expensive and unfair lesson on their operating guidelines. They are notorious for not answering emails, should you want to patch it up, they have a forum where problems can be posted and volunteers give advice and involve actual google reps when needed.

BTW, you never used conversion tracking? You were never identifying which keywords were bringing in bank and which kw's were trashing your budget?

If you get your account back you will be delighted with your returns once you use conversion tracking. Anyway hope it works out for you.

This could be a chance to use Facebook.ads or media buys.

if you own the domain / its yours then it may be you can apply to G to fix the site in question so that it supports G's T&C's

to do this there should be a reply option on the suspension email, reply and open some dialog that you were un aware of the breach of rules and will repair the site in question fr re submission and to have the suspension lifted.

Now to do that you going to need to drop all the click bank lander page and information and just build a decent site with supporting information about your topic, that has real visitor appeal.

you might have a link to join our news letter where you promote your e book and even maybe have your land page as a sub domain ? if possible probably remove that to a whole new domain say thedietturbo.co or similar

its not that G hates CB its more 99.9% of CB sites are hype and this is where they fall down. / if all goes well you may get your account back.

What gives? You spend so much time trying to learn effective ways to advertise on Google, only to get shut down!

The thing that I have figured out with adwords is that the big G doesn't need your money. They have many affiliates who are spending in the 10's of 1000's to the 100's per day. Maybe even in the millions who knows. They are #1 and if you do something they don't like you are just a speck of dirt to them unless you are paying them huge amounts of cash then and only then will they work with you. For an account that has been banned, best bet is to use a different card with a different ip. That's the only way that I have heard of anyone getting a new account other than begging them to re-instate your old account.

Optionally, I would suggest trying to move away from Adwords like everyone else is suggesting because it's like gambling with Google. One day you may have your account and be killing it and the next day poof all your earnings stop. Seriously consider moving to an alternative advertising unless you are making serious dough with adwords.

I can totally agree with you wolfmmiii. And you are right on point with the people not following their TOS. Also, it's a filtered banned more than likely. The run a scan for specific words being used or specific figures or whatever and their software automatically bans you if you fall into the wrong use of words. I haven't had my account banned ever, but I have talked to others who have and usually they get notice to correct their mistakes. It's odd they are just banning without even investigating. Or could it be they are giving a 24 hour notice and the banned individuals are waiting past the 24 hour window to try and fix their infractions, so therefore they are being banned automatically you know? Lot's of scenarios and reasons that may not be completely stated. Would like to know if they are really just banning without giving anyone a chance though.

Why do you think google does not have telephonic support, I look at hostgator a tiny company in comparison with Google and they have 24 hour support. I know google does not have to offer it, but I think the investment will pay dividends as far as goodwill and customer support goes

Definately keep us updated bowerboy. Would like to know the outcome of this.

In short words, yes that's the reason.

You should definitely contact them and ask why you were not contacted. They typically send multiple warnings via email. Most people either have a bad email address on file or simply ignore the emails.

As mentioned in their TOS, even paused campaigns need to be TOS compliant. This is another issue that many folks misunderstand. They think a paused campaign is not evaluated for compliance. It is.

Google has shutdown thousands of marketers.
Google doesn't like the home business, internet marketing
niche.

I've had the same problem as you but I haven't depended on
google since.

There is a world outside of google. (banner adversiting, text advertsing
facebook ppc, ezine marketing, media buying etc)

There are a dozens of other ways to send traffic to your website
outside of Google.

Safety first ... NEVER link to Clickbank sites directly using Adwords.

http://blog.outsourcefactor.com/neve...-an-affiliate/

Several big name marketers and instructional authors reported their accounts on which they spent thousands a week were suspended, some in touch with google personal believe it was primarily an automated thinning formula based on the products being promoted, a great number of them being the various **** Berry, Tooth Whitening like re-bill schemes.

regardless of the reason, Google's permanently banning customers with no warning is no way to run a business, instead of spending so much money on unessential acquisitions and projects they should hire more account managers who actually speak to their customers.

Google is a big ****, use a new ppc plateform

It's unfortunate these happens, I know that Google is targetting Get Rich Quick schemes on Adwords, and it would come as no surprise if weight loss products are also on their radar

5 million dollars a month, lets see what was googles profit last year? 10 billion?

yes 5 million a month is insignificant

well I guess its 1/200 of their annual earnings, but

I know google had to pay a fine of 600 million dollars for violating advertising rules with the FTC on Canadian pharmacies,

didnt seem to hurt them much

Although
far as I have heard , googles revenue growth rate has dropped significantly as of late

perhaps they will become more humble and less arrogant and actually care about their advertisers

I received the love letter from google

Hello,

We continually review all publishers according to our program policies ( https://www.google.com/support/adsen...tc=aspe-3pp-en ) and Terms and Conditions ( https://www.google.com/adsense/local...tc=aspe-3tc-en ). During a recent review of your account, our specialists found that it was not in compliance with our policies.

WEBMASTER GUIDELINES: Our program specialists regularly review sites in the AdSense program.

It is important for a site displaying AdSense to offer significant value to the end user by providing unique and relevant content, and not to place ads on sites with little to no original content. Additionally, Google ads may not be placed on non-content-based pages.

Your site should also provide a good user experience through clear navigation and organization. Users should be able to easily click through your pages and find the information they are seeking.

Because your sites violate the spirit of our policies, we have disabled ad serving.

For more information, please review our program policies ( https://www.google.com/adsense/suppo...y?answer=48182 ) and Google's Webmaster Quality Guidelines ( Webmaster Guidelines - Webmaster Tools Help ).

WEBMASTER GUIDELINES: Publishers may not place Google ads on pages that violate Google’s webmaster quality guidelines (Webmaster Guidelines - Webmaster Tools Help). While we've included the following excerpts from these guidelines, we recommend that you take the time to review them in their entirety.

* Make pages for users, not for search engines.
* Don't employ cloaking or sneaky redirects.
* Don't load pages with irrelevant words.
* Don't create multiple pages, subdomains, or domains with substantially duplicate content.
* Don't participate in link schemes designed to increase your site's ranking or PageRank.
* Avoid "doorway" pages created just for search engines, or other "cookie cutter" approaches such as affiliate programs with little or no original content.
* Avoid tricks intended to improve search engine rankings. A good rule of thumb is whether you'd feel comfortable explaining what you've done to a website that competes with you. Another useful test is to ask, "Does this help my users? Would I do this if search engines didn't exist?"
* If your site participates in an affiliate program, make sure that your site adds value. Provide unique and relevant content that gives users a reason to visit your site first.

As a result, your AdSense account has been disabled.

Additionally, as stated in our Terms and Conditions, publishers who have breached this agreement may not receive further payment. The earnings on your account will be returned to the affected advertisers. Please note that this step was taken in an effort to protect the interests of our AdWords advertisers, and to maintain the quality of the AdSense program.

Thank you for your understanding.

Sincerely,

The Google AdSense Team

The site I had put up the ads are at:
sleepedia.com (this is about 6 months or so, nowhere near MFA site), babybeddingbuzz.com (kinda new site), nonohairremovalx.com (over 6months site, was using cpa offer then switched to adsense about 2 months ago) and eurekavacuumparts.com (has been running adsense for over 2yrs), I have more similar site using CTRTheme but on different niches.

I really don't get it, what may cause google to disabled my account because I made babybeddingbuzz.com to earn adsense?

$1k is down the drain. Really hate it when it happened. I am giving up adsense altogether now. I worked hard to make it happen SEO wise because it is SEO that drives up the adsense income.

This is the way it usually happens. Google is accused of banning someone "for no reason" and then they admit that there was a reason. Not only is your claim a violation of Google's TOS, it may also very well be a violation of FTC statutes (if you are based in the US). And, that could lead to worse things than a Google ban!

At least move forward, don't be defeated.

Is that your adsense account or your adwords account was suspended? I haven't heard anybody that has a suspended adwords account.

My Google Adsense account was banned some 6 months ago. I've done a bit of research and have read that it is impossible to open another account because Google would be able to detect it one way or another and shut your account down. I actually opened a new account a few weeks ago without any problem but have yet to enter in my tax information. I've heard people say that they can identify you by your social security number and ban your account again. I've also heard that they only ban by IP address and don't use personal information to ban people who have previously had an account. I'm basically looking for any information on this. Is there anyone who has had their account banned that was able to successfully open another one and be paid?

They told me I needed to change the website content to conform, and I said it wasn't my website so I couldn't do anything about it. I told them it wasn't fair that they change the TOS and then retroactively penalize me because I had linked to that site at one time in the past.

This is exactly what happened to me. Very common. Good for you for continuing to call. I didn't even have a number to call, just a useless email dialog with some robotic idiot. You are the first person I've ever heard of getting this situation reversed. Power to you man! Wow.

Hi Guys and Gals,
I was wondering if some of you SEO gurus could help me out with respect to the indexing of my site, or should I say lack there of. I'll give you a little bit of background before I ask my questions :

My new site has been online since Sept 21, 2011. I have been manually building links diligently, to the point that I have quite a few links from pages with PR 3,4,&5. In Yahoo and Bing, my site cycles between the 3rd or 4th position on page 1 for my targeted keyword . Here is the dilemma, even though I am very happy with the performance in Yahoo, it's not even indexed in Google. Is this common not to be indexed for such a long time given the quality of backlinks, and good performance in other search engines?

I have 10 blog posts with good and original content, site map is ok, robots.txt is ok, site pings every time a change happens, and all affiliate links are cloaked through a php file. Furthermore, in the last couple of days (Dec. 1, 2011), I was slapped with an administration ban due to spamming phpbbacademy.com and startrekguide.com. Interestingly enough they were kind enough to give me 1467 do follow links as a consequence, each one is a page telling me that my IP has been banned and that I am a bad person in general

My two questions are :

1) Did I purchase a domain that has been targeted previously by Google, and now will not be indexed? Is that possible? (Since I have found older links to Bandposters.org that are not mine)

2) Are the 1476 backlinks an attack on my site by phpbb site network to make Google think that I am a spammer and therefore an attempt to downgrade me in rankings?

I thank-you for any response or replies. Any help or info on my dilemma would be greatly appreciated. Please keep in mind that 10 weeks ago I was Googling "what's Wordpress", 6 weeks ago I was Googling "what's a backlink", and 2 weeks ago I was Googling "what's a Google sandbox"…so I am kinda new to all of this. I really don't care if Google kicks me in the nuts, since this was an introductory website building exercise, but it would be a shame if I could not get it indexed since maybe it could make me some pizza money
Cheers, Pete.

Paul and Lucid are right on. The bottom line is that Google wants to partner with professionals. Professionals read and understand TOS and work to establish a solid relationship with Google. They take the time to ask questions and fully understand how things work. They do not rely on Google to spell everything out specifically.

I had my entire site taken de-listed from Google because I released a press release and two articles too quickly - my business went from the first page to nothing in two days. Google never reply to your requests and ignore anything they don't want to deal with.

However, it taught me to be very careful with any SEO and take things slowly.

BTW - if you try and get get a new adsense account - you need

1 New ID
1.1 New IP address
Clear all cookies with ccleaner
1.2 New phone number
1.3 New Name
New spelling
1.4 New Address
Change bits of the address
- Different flats in the same building
- house name
- different street
etc.
1.5 New Card details
Try entropay.com

Never use chrome and maybe think about buying a new laptop!

Hope this helps!

Your best bet is to appeal and give the explanations as to where the misunderstanding, and hopefully they might reinstate your account

It's always sad when this happens, but launching an appeal and laying all the possible reasons why this could have occurred might get a sympathetic ear

My suggestion to you is to get a new domain name and a separate adsense account. Start all over again instead of wasting your time over this. Your site has been penalized and you will have to tell google what did you done wrong. Your site is sitting at the mercy of google. My simple advice is- Start again!

If the adsense ads get clicks from same IP address. Google team closely watch your adsense ad clicks. If you get more adsense ad clicks form same IP mean, they consider it has automatic sofwtare or we break the adsense T&C and then they will banned our website from adsense account.

I had a Google Adwords account banned because I was selling an ebook they didn't like. They connected it with another of my accounts that I was spending $4K/month with them and they banned that one ALSO! That really hurt. And yet, I see tons of really shady ebooks for sale being advertised every day and those aren't getting banned. I think that one of my competitors flagged my ads. Moral of the story? Don't put all of your eggs in the Google basket

There is a trick which I also used.
at first clear all your cookies
Signup for a new google account,don't link it with any of your google account
Next to it wait for at least 1month
then apply for a new adsense account with new name (someone your relative) and address(zip code should be different from your banned one)
now complete all 2steps of Adsense verification (you can use same blog url,but it will be better to use a new blog)
Thats all.

My Google ad sense account has been banded.i am trying my best to recover it but appeal is denied.what can i do now?Can i used my same ip for new google ad sense account

I also got banned from Google and I still don't know what I did wrong. They didn't explain it or consider my appeal. I have tried to comply with all their rules, but it didn't seem to matter. I wish I would have gotten some explanation as to why they closed me down. I guess they don't need the business that much. Oh well.
Cheers,
Mario

From experience and I have had a lot of adsense accounts past and present firstly as mentioned before in this thread if you really need an adsense account then register a limited company (a lot of packages come with an address and Bank A/C then use a different computer to re-apply.

To do this just simply set up a new domain ( .info for $1.99 ) new IP for the site ( $2.99 on hostgator ) put up 10 PLR articles, about, privacy, contact pages. Then apply this works for me everytime!

To find out the latest on Googles banning reasons try going to their forum there is a lot of good info on there. From what I have found over the years they tend to try out new methods and loads of accounts get wrongly banned because they dont meet the new criteria.

If your feeling lazy there are a few people online that make adsense accounts in about 3 days using black hat methods, I have tried them and they seem ok actually.

As for Chakita I think its hit and miss really, some clicks do pay but only in very competitive niches like forex and their ads sometimes are not niche focussed.

Try selling downloadable products, but the best advice is really to never give up, just keep trying and getting new accounts and also work harder on your seo then you will get there.

I have too an adsense account before but I get banned also. I have edited my adds in the html of my blog. I put it after the title and before the post and that makes my earnings boom. After a year I get banned and that makes me stop doing it until now.

I have adsense account, one month ago it's still showing ads to my site networks ( differents ip and minimal duplicate content ) and this month it's stop to showing ads at my site networks. Any ideas what happened to my adsense account or my adsense ads ??

thanks

Well good luck fighting the evil empire. You're better off creating new account. Go to Starbucks or something so it shows different IP.

Loony Stuff: Online Money Making Opportunities and Review

They banned my account too a couple of years ago including You Tube and recently twitter for aggressive following which i HAD DONE FOR 2 YEARS LOL.. Don't put all your eggs in one companies basket With adsense I heard they even ban you if your sales page payment goes directly to paypal or another payment processor.. And doesn't stay on your site, or have a bridging page between them.. Glad I am out of the adsense tos minefield .. I also could get no reason out of them for the ban.. Even though I contacted them a few times there reason was we do not need to give you a reason check our TOS .. Nice :-)

It's too bad to hear that. I think you should contact Google ASAP.

Your adsense account is gone, best bet would be to try to get a new one using an email from a new domain. Don't open another gmail account to do it.

What I have seen with goolge adsense is that once you have set up your reputation with good content sites and natural traffic then there won't be any harm. But if one try to cheat or even don't cheat but do not have good quality content sites Google will turn you down in coming time. This doesn't mean they want to eat up your money. They do the same with adword even when you spend money. They want quality publishers and quality advertisers so that the readers can have non biased or forced click on the adsence ads. Thankyou.

How many days income pin?

I feel Sad for you, Hundred bucks gone just like that.

My Google Adsense account was banned too.
I register for an automated link exchange.

Then I realize that it is violating the TOS of Google
Regret, AAAAhhh

Your adsense account is gone, best bet would be to try to get a new one using an email from a new domain. Don't open another gmail account to do it.

Lost my account yesterday I was clickbombed by competitor as I ranked over him.
I made a complain to Google but reading through the forums that is a waste of time.
Well at least I will have satisfaction of revenge.

Can anyone explain this. I signed up for google adsense account and was approved using flixya. I was still taking my time to build sites to use for the codes. It took me a couple of month though. I went back to my adsense and i discovered it was disabled even though i have never used it. Can someone explain

I don't know why you get banned (Maybe you have clicked on your ads or used proxies and VPN). You can do below solutions but I do not guarantee these solve your problem.

1) You can open an account with different Google account and also A NEW Living Address.

2) Signup with another payee name (If you are based in USA, you can change it later.

3) Signup with another Static IP. (Do not use proxies and VPN)

Everything unusual can make you banned.

1st you should read the google adsense guide lines then apply for a secure adsense account for solve this issue.

Its gone your chance of reinstatement is close to zero
They reserve the right to ban anyone any time without notice and without explaining to you why and they will keep any of your unpaid earnings .
This makes the appeal process a joke
They do not follow normal business practice amd are reluctant to deal with customers directly.
Move on and find a lower risk business model

I suggest you to write about this issue on google adsense forum maybe your problem resolve ,but one thing remember that Google our father in Online program,so be careful.

Google never feel it necessary to even inform you about the reason for banning your account, that totally unfair....

Greetings,

I started a thread(Can Google De-Index Select Pages from a Site?) a couple of days ago entitled in another part of the forum where I inquired about the following:


I can see that the pages are still in google when I do a search this way "site:yourdomain.com keywords here". But when I just search by the keywords, those 2 pages just don't show up.

Any ideas/ advice?

Thats the way it is.Probably 80 % of banned publisher say the same thing.In this case I belive is about your earns.You made 0.15 cents per day in 3 years,is not enought for Google.You always can create a new account under another name,so dont be sad.Good luck

I have been banned by Adsense too, not sure why yet. Forget about them, you won't get your account back. Shortly after that they cut my AdWords (!!!) which I must have used 2-3 times, and then my Google places (I was getting an error message with a link from Google telling me to modify one entry but I didn't have access to modify anything, so they just banned that too).

Change the on page of your website and use fresh, unique content for your website. It is good solution for your website.

I lost my adsense account too recently without any obvious reason given, just "we found that your AdSense account has posed a significant risk to our AdWords advertisers."...

i think you done something wrong like black hat seo.Sometime if you trying more focus than contact,google may penalty

Recently I read a lot of bad Adsense reviews from people being banned... Why do you think is this?

In previous days a case came into seen that an adsense publisher get banned, he appealed to Google adsense team but no one give him positive response then matt cuts came into and he reviewed the publisher's website and also reactivated his adsense account, so the conclusion is that automated software bans accounts of some innocent people also

I have been banned on two seperate accounts now. Very frustrating

I once accidentially clicked on one of my Adsense header Ads not even thinking about what it was at the time. I was frantic, having read online about others who had gotten their accounts terminated. I immediately emailed them and explained the situation. I received a reply thanking me for advising them and saying that they are aware that this does happen occasionally. They included steps to take to prevent it from happening in the future and so far, Adsense account still in good standing.

I have been banned from google several times and now today got suspended from Yahoo answers and no idea why?? Very frustrating!

Google has to protect their advertisers firsts and for most. That is an enormous chunk of their revenue. If they suspect you are breaking the TOS they will not hesitate to yank your account even if its questionable they will not risk it. Your only option is to get an LLC and register the account under that. Also you will not be able to use any domains or anything else that was once a part of the banned account. If it took you that long to make a few hundred bucks then I would say try something else. You should have been making what took you 3 years to make, in 1 day. I have done tests with Chitica and they just dont pay as much as Adsense. I think its a waste of time. There is no other ad network that is as good as Google. That being said, just follow the TOS and you will never have a problem.

google give me time of 72 hours with warning? what i do ?

Hi i need to know about banned IP. why Google ban IP. How can we solve this issue????

My friend if your adsense gets banned by google then it is very hard for you to get it back. You could try to contact them with the matter if you are innocent but I doubt they will be of much help. Opening another account is also a tall order.

Have any option to recover my Adsense banned account? I think there have no way to reactive banned account. But if you have any idea please let me know

Hmmm interesting....the fact that you only earned $168..in 3 years...shows you werent even taken it seriously....try a new company etc...then apply...don't spend to much time on this though...I would suggest you find an area you are really interested in and master it....

Brush it off as a learning experience

Its a very sad and shocking news if one works so hared and then got banned ! I am new in adsense. So i always try to conscious about my adsense.

My Adwords was suspended from Google and they told me all new accounts will be rejected. This was about 2 weeks ago.

I made a video advertising my search engine on Youtube and after a week I was wondering why my ad had not shown up. That Monday I get and email saying I was banned, two days later after my account was banned my ad was rejected.

They claim it was due to TOS violations from 2010...... Fisrt of all banning me for something I might have done 2 years ago is crap. They seen it was search engine and banned me period. I have spen THOUSANDS advertising on Google and they had no problem taking my money. Google Adwords in registered as an advertising company NOT a search engine. If McDonalds owned a newspaper are they going to say Burger King can't advertise in it? I think not.

Bottom line, this is blatent antitrust violation and we have taken steps against this. Also, we have outlined they fact that they hide true algorythm disclosure on how they gather and rank information using this to their advantage by raking higher than anyone for keywords they choose to rank number 1 for on over 700 keywords.

Did Google shut me down because I have a search engine and they are scared of competition probably not. Do they know we are gaining more traffic and providing better search results then they do?

They do now.
