2) Does being banned mean, they won't pay your earnings or not neccesarily?
I never heard of anyone getting banned then getting their money,
but I don't read all banned threads neither
supposedly advertisers get refunded
Highlighting by me. :-)
2. You "probably" wont get paid if banned.
a. Got banned for false clicks. I set up several computers at work with my site as homepage, and as a result lots of clicks from same ip/mac address as where I logged in. No warning. Banned.
b. 5 other work accounts banned next day, as associated with the banned account. Very unhappy boss, given 30 days to fix, or sacked.
c. 4 weeks later, after explaining what had happened, admitting my stupidity but promising no future issues, I was reinstated, with all money still in the account.
d. A week later, all the work accounts also reinstated, however, all money gone, no reinstatement.
e. 15 months later, one of the work accounts receives a warning for having images deceptively close to AdSense. Given 3 days to fix(fixed it in 3 minutes - thanks for the warning Google), they emailed back thanks for fixing the problem.
My advice is if you think something might be outside AdSense rules, ASK them, but assume it is and don’t do it without clarification. Don’t hope for a warning, you might just get banned.
Don’t accept a form letter response, ask for a ruling on an exact example. I got form letters at one stage regarding Kontera, to later learn it was in fact OK.
I doubt you will be banned for an oversight causing rule breaches without a warning... but downright fraud and trickery, or something that relies on a very thin argument? Or areas such as framing sites, which are clearly outlined in AdSense rules as not on..
bye bye account and money.
1) sometimes
2) sometimes
The answer to your question really is: sometimes.
Let me make it, "third time is the charm."
Answer is "Sometimes"
"We dont dig this and that and you gotta fix it. Ads are no longer being served on your account. But your account is still active. Further violations will lead to a ban."
