Adsense Banned me for invalid clicks very unfair?

Question

I had an account with adsense making $2,000.00 a month for 4 years now. That is until just a few minutes ago I opened up my email account and got that dreaded email that would give anyone a heart attack.

They said that my account poses risk to advertisers?

Why should the publisher get in trouble for someone else click bombing my ads? Why can't google disable the ads for those ips? Instead of disabling an innocent adsense publishers account.

I'm about ready to take them to court over this just because of the principal of the thing.

I wonder if it's just a bot doing these account disabling of accounts?

Answer 1

WOW. Sorry to hear that. About all you can really do is make an appeal and hopefully get back in.

If not you might have to go the route of selling direct ad space or sign up for some affiliate programs.

To be honest you could earn more with affiliate programs and you wouldn't risk losing your account for invalid activity.

Also if your website has enough traffic you might try buysell ads.

A few alternatives to adsense are vertoz, infolinks, advertise.com although these don't pay out as much as adsense it's better than nothing.

I know the TOS say you can't get a new adsense account once banned. But in reality you can do so as I've done it myself when I got banned 3 years ago. I waited 8 months and then signed up for another adsense account and within a week I got back in using a new website that I built up.

You can also change the domain of your website and get back in with the same website.

I put in my mom's address, and phone number but used my own name. There's lots of people with the same first and last name.

Luckily my website wasn't banned from using adsense ads but just my account was disabled.

So far for almost 4 years again I've been successfully getting paid each month.

Most times It's actually a stupid bot that bans your account and not a human. A former employee of Adsense told me that.

A bot crawls your site every so often and decides to ban you. But sometimes a human does intervene.

But when your sign up for an account there system sends out a bot to crawl your website and see if it's suitable for adsense.

Make sure you have enough text and all those other required pages before applying again.

If your domain was banned for invalid click activity then change the name of the website if you don't want to rewrite a bunch of content.

Sorry Alex. They will find you eventually and ban your account. Opening up another account is a violation of there TOS.

It might take awhile but that bot will eventually associate your new account with your old one and you'll lose your money and account.

You must work for adsense. After getting my account banned for nothing I did I waited 2 years and then signed up again.

Been going good and getting steady payouts so far and google hasn't caught on.

I noticed my old account was no longer around seems they finally deleted it.

There are other alternatives such as chitika that although don't make as much it still is a better than nothing.

It might not be fair. But life isn't fair.

I wouldn't bother taking them to court as you'll surely lose. Google has high power attorney's that will work in there favor.
