After 6 months of success with adsense
i have been suddenly banned from the program

i have never cheat or clicked or asked any one to click\i have never ever used -or even thinkin- to use any illigel program

this month i contacted them telling them that i realized that people might click more than one time, and they replied it is ok

then 5 days later i have been baneed!

i was doing well, more than 1300 $ last month and i'm not stupid to lose this money to earn 10 or 20 dollars by cheeting

i contacted them many times and i told them that i have contacted them beofre asking for help, so how come to remove me

or it is my fault that i contacted them

Perhaps it is important now that you think back very carefully. Remember if you perhaps did anything against Adsense TOS.
In a september 14 thread you were planning to buy a $50 Adwords voucher on eBay for $3. If you indeed did that and used it, voila.

I tried your site ahmeds14

Seems you have a problem - all the content appears to have fallen off your pages!

There's lots of excellent navigation - but I was a bit disappointed with the traffic reports link - taking me to a page about skin cream.

aaaaahhh. I get it - you thought you could create a site with no content, no purpose etc and expect a hefty check at the end of every month. Absolutely gutted for you. You attempt to buy a $50 token off of ebay to gain cheap traffic to a useless site - and now you are complaining that you have been dumped. What is it that you guys don't understand about TOS? Why is it that every few days we see another thread - "I've been banned but done nothing wrong"? When we view the said site(s) they are full of breaches of TOS, provide no useful purpose etc, etc. The only place you will find sympathy is between Syntax and Syphilis in the dictionary!

trannack , i hate people who just don't understand anything and just critcize other if u read carufly u will understand that i have a jobs site which contain more than 500 pages with A REAL CONTENT, but now -after removing from adsnse- i'm attembing to re launch it so index page link to nothiong and most of links are not working, so from where u come that i have no content and search for cheep trafic, if i'm searching for cheep trafic i would buy it but i refused to buy this cupon when people said it is illiagle although it was on Ebay

i said aslo that i contacted google before removing and tols them that i suspend that people might clicking more than one time, and asked them to check my pages, they said it is ok and then 5 days latter they banne me

so what is the wrong with u? think before u write please

Five hundred pages - on a job site - is probably job postings right? How did you manage to earn $1300 in a month with that. How much traffic do you get and from what source? Perhaps there lies the answer.

ahmeds14
maybe they are not your sites - but doing a G search on the domain name you use for your e-amil in your profile - you appear to have connections to a number of purely advertising domains - many full of broken links - none showing any content and all those showing AdSense appear to be in breach of the TOS.

Now if this is you - case proven IMHO

If it isn't you - then you have links with someone else who is breaching the TOS - which also gets you banned - but may offer some hope of getting back in.

Firstly - don't assume that I understand nothing. I have been in this game too long for that. I post regularly here and in other forums, and when-ever possible I have tried to help others achieve success both with their sites and with their Adsense and Adwords efforts. I am happy to offer information to newbies as well as more established players.

The mere fact that you were thinking of purchasing a cheap token off of ebay leads me to think that you fit into a certain criteria. I, like Pengi, searched on Google - I draw my conclusions from my findings. If these sites are not yours, then you have been very unprofessional in who you link to. The amount of traffic and revenue you mention would also be indicative of re-affirming my view.

If, as you state, you offer a legitimate site, with valued content and a high regard in your country, please accept my sincere apologies. Every week we see these threads - and eventually, either through our own endeavours, or confessions from the person, it becomes blatantly obvious why the person was banned. There are almost no exceptions - the chances are you breached TOS.

Google rarely bans without haveing a good reason. If you really believe you have not breached TOS, then I am sure that one of the mods will post the two threads on how to get back on.

i can't find any links that work.

And, I get 3 runtime errors asking me to debug when trying to load the homepage.

I wouldn't worry about the page views.. I get twice that on my crappy little site.

I have certainly learnt from WebmasterWorld that violation of the Google TOS risks getting banned - possibly for life and possibly without explanation.

There have been threads about finding your way back in - but if it's goint to work you need to clear up all the issues first - i.e. get some proper content on the pages that stands on its own without depending on the Ads.

Here are a couple of threads that martinibuster, the forum moderator often recommends:
I've been Reinstated - Adsense has let me Back in
A member recounts their experience at being removed from the AdSense program, but subesequently reinstated when she proved that she was not responsible for false clicks.
[webmasterworld.com...]

What to Do When You are Kicked Out of Adsense
A long step-by-action-step tutorial on your recourse when booted from AdSense
[webmasterworld.com...]

However, after visiting the site listed in your profile... I'm seeing a good number of ads that are all still functional. That would be unusual. Are you sure this is not a misunderstanding?

And here it is a copy of one of your earlier threads, where you state you have MFA pages.

"Ads dosn't work for more than 3 days
in the begining some of pages ads stop working, then almost all pages stop working
is it because we r in augest which has low ads in general and because i'm from Egypt so my site might not have any ads.
or because i have some pages some how MAF pages and i used adword for them for a while.
because i noticed when i used adword with those pages, ads started to stop working on thouse pages, but suddenly the other pages stoped too."

I rest my case!

If Google would ban my account, I have to remove the AdSense code from exactly two include files. The complete site would still be useful and functional. Maybe you should just focus on repairing your site for a while now.

ahmeds14 - First off, good luck with your site - looks like you've got some serious repair work to do.

It's doubtful that Adsense kicked you because you contacted them. I'd think they would give you some suggestions before kicking you.

>>because i have some pages some how MAF pages and i used adword for them for a while.

Why did your ads stop running in August? Maybe that's a clue as to what happened more recently.

I also noticed that your site has very few pages indexed in Y!, Google and MSN - less than a dozen. Where did you get all your page views from? Maybe one of your sources of traffic was against the Adsense TOS. That would be my guess.

"Maybe one of your sources of traffic was against the Adsense TOS"

This can be a major problem. We have seen from other posters like GP etc that traffic that does not convert well for advertisers or too much repeat traffic can be enough reasons for 'invalid clicks'. One needs 'fresh' traffic continuously...

Here's another thing to consider: Google doesn't have to prove that you did anything wrong.

Under the terms of your contract with Google, either party can quit at any time for any reason. Given the issues that have been raised here about your site, I'd guess that something about your click traffic triggered a manual review, your site didn't pass the "sniff test," and Google simply didn't want to do business with you anymore.

EFV,

in that case they should pay all earnings, at least.

Not necessarily. It depends on whether Google thinks something fishy has been going on, and on how severe the violations of the program policies are.

Nope, because they call it invalid clicks. Gets refunded to the advertiser.

Thanks Pengi for posting those helpful links. Now the ball is in the OPs court to either accept what he did and move on or else go make his case with Google. You have a business issue with Google and it's up to you to decide how to handle it from here on out.

Good luck!
