Purchased Banned by AdSense Site: Redirected New Domain to Banned Domain

Will AdSense Find out and Ban Me Too?

[Mohamed]

I bought a website from someone and he told me that the site was banned from google Adsense and the site can't display any ads from google. I registered new domain, which is same as the banned one, but a different extension. I redirected new domain to the banned domain and then I applied google adsense account with the new domain and they approved it, so my question is can google figured out that I am running ads into the banned site.

[abbeyvet]

Yes. They can, and they very probably will.

[Rodney]

sure, they can just look at the referrer information from the javascript and see that the traffic/visitors are coming from the banned account.

It's probably just a matter of time until your account gets banned.

That was your first mistake.....

Your second will be getting both sites banned, and yourself along with them.

[Mohamed]

any solution? what about if I host the website in the new domain and use redirection to redirect banned domain to the new domain

by the way the reason I bought the website was the website has great potential it is first in its kind in my country.

[btas2]

Dump the old domain

Google has the capability of seeing referrers so this is not a good strategy.

Why not take the ads off for the moment and then email Google, explaining the situation? Either they'll say yes and you're OK, or they'll say no and save you a lot of pain and grief down the road.

What do you mean by 'great potential'? Banned sites have no potential at all in AdSense. The only thing you could try is putting some links on the banned site and send traffic to your AdSense still not banned site. Redirecting is not an option.

But what if Mohamed didn't do all this, and instead emailed google saying that he's now a new owner of the site, and ask for a chance to prove he'll not do any policy violations.
Doesn't google give a chance to new owners of banned web sites? If the reason is connected to the original owner, I think they should, unless the ban has something to do with the content of the site itself. Am I right?

[btas2]

You'd have to do this BEFORE putting AdSense on the site(s), not after, if you wanted to stay on AdSense's good side.

They're probaly wise to people claiming they are "new owners" of banned sites in order to get them back into adsense. I'm sure there are people who would just put the site in someone else's name and continue running it - or any one of several similar schemes designed to circumvent an AdSense ban.

If you purchased a domain associated with a banned account, contact Google, explain the situation, and get permission to show ads. Attempting an end-run creates a pretty good circumstantial case that you are associated with the banned account, which is not a good impression to create.

[jomaxx]

I'm pretty sure Google can see when a domain transfer took place, so they can confirm the story fairly easily.

There's little doubt they will detect ads running on a banned domain sooner or later anyways, and if you wait until you're banned it will most likely be too late to explain it to them.

[Key_Master]

Google knows where the ads are being served from and they don't need referrer info to get it (otherwise our stat impressions wouldn't be accurate). Take jomaxx's advice. Pull the ads from the domain in question and ask AdSense if they will allow you to serve ads on the domain.

What do you mean by 'great potential'?

I mean the website is only 8 months old, has more than 6000 unique visitors per day, page rank of 3, google indexed more then half of the website pages and alexa ranking of 62,000. is not that potential?

I contacted to google staff and told everything, but they did not listen to me and they keep saying "websites banned for invalid clicks won't participate Adsense".

Therefore I proposed this plan.
1. host the website in to new domain example.net
2. redirect old domain example.com to example.net using 301 redirect, so that I can keep page rank.
3. run google Adsense in the new domain example.net, so that referers will come from example.net.

do you think that proposal will help me?

Ahhh, what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive...

[btas2]

Ad Sense are such fools. They just won't listen. Anyone with an ounce of sense would listen, so I guess AdSense don't have an ounce of sense.

If I were you, I'd certainly try to prove them wrong...

[Rodney]

3. run google Adsense in the new domain example.net, so that referers will come from example.net

I'm pretty sure they can still see that the traffic/visitors were referred from the banned domain (and sooner or later you'll get banned).

You may want to think of a NON-adsense way of monetizing the site.
