Just delete the image file.

[joshuaoldham]

ye u see thats the problem, i cant

ah well, any ideas on the circumstancve?

[FrostyMug]

poster: your account id, everything is showing, delete the thread, edit the first post to remove all text, delete the image file.. or say bye bye to account.

[OptiRex]

Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear Joshua...

You can't even claim to not understand the language when you're from the UK!

This post is as good as the guy whose girlfriend screwed him over...

You've created a website with a domain name registered on 18th October 2005 which shows how to grow Marijuana...did you read ONE word of the Terms & Conditions of the Adsense programme?

Sort it out now or say goodbye to your account.

There is no point in giving you any other advice at the moment.

[toldan]

Josh, login where you uploaded the picture and delete it. Otherwise, your account is gone if Google people see this.

[toldan]

PS: one more thing, Josh, how come you edited your own reply? I don't have that feature.

[miedmark]

I'm surprised mods haven't removed the link by now. Probably to busy loughing, anyway, what do you mean you can't remove the picture from your server? You put it there, you delete it - FAST.

This by far has to be the best post I've read all week.

(Note added) Now I see why you can't delete it. You used "image shack" - public image server. Let's hope mods remove the link shortly.

[jomaxx]

This is why you should never post when you're stoned, LOL.

Seriously, it's probably not that big a deal. Don't freak out that you'll get kicked out. The number of impressions on that channel is trivial, the problem seems to be carelessness more than an attempt to rip off advertisers, and it's a holiday weekend in the US.

However since you posted under what appears to be your own name (LOL again), you should stickymail the mods listed above and beg them to delete the whole thread ASAP.

[Knappster]

That's a pretty healthy CTR. I've got to increase my stoner traffic.

[skyhawk133]

I hear "munchies" has a pretty high payout.

[david_uk]

I looked at the site in the screen shot. Not one single ad, apart from the adsense referral link on the resources page. But there were ads on your blog. I guess that this is where the income is from.

I'd be inclined to delete the page about growing weed, and put ads on the rest of the site.

[david_uk]

PS: one more thing, Josh, how come you edited your own reply? I don't have that feature.

Toldan - you have a link on your posts for a limited time saying "Owner edit". Whilst this link is on your post you can edit it.

[ann]

Jomaxx,

He has done two gigantic no no's and this board IS read heavily AND we have our very own Google rep. :)

Sooooo, bye bye account.

[wheelie34]

he probably wont remember anyway!

[jetteroheller]

i start recieving a heavy difference in traffic with low click thru rate

The last time, this happened for me, I found out that there was a strong visited internet forum, and they had much fun with some of the photos on my web site.

Natural, the CTR of such visitors is much lower than from visitors by search engines.

[jomaxx]

Ann, come on, posting some fragmentary stats is a pretty small no-no.

As for the other thing, well, putting ads on that site is clearly against the TOS, but the site doesn't even appear to be live yet. The screen shot showed just a handful of impressions, which could easily be due to the publisher working on his own site. And on each page there's a big link to a related forum that has 1 member and 0 posts.

I think the appropriate response would be a warning; however I don't run the world so we'll see.

[joshuaoldham]

you know its all very nice you all moning about the situation, and thanks for the advise about not postin when stoned, but i can see you lot are a real good help in this form NOT, exept for the few decent gus who posted
about my problem, thanks to them

and the rest of you can #*$! right off

Thankyou

Josh

PS, thanks for deleting the URL mod, and if you wouldnt mind, take this topic down

[NoLimits]

ahem... Josh

Pass it to the left would ya?

[humblebeginnings]

C'mon Josh, be a good sport.
You made a silly mistake and we had a laugh.
That's all. Don't go cursing now.
Just deal with the mistake, stay on track and stay with the forum...

[sailorjwd]

I'm throwing out all my Darwin books - they are obviously full of cr@p.

[joshuaoldham]

Topic closed :D

Maybe G should have a quiz about the TOS before you can generate any ad code? This could have been avoided if you read the TOS you agreed to.

As I started my OpenSRS reseller account 2000, there was a test.

In the actual domain handling interface switched to test mode, I had to complete about 10 different tasks with domains.
