AdSense Disabling Arbitrage Accounts by June 1st

[Freddy81]

They told me my account will be disabled at 1st June, and also added that I'll receive payment for all outstanding earnings in accordance with the standard AdSense payment schedule.

For this day (17 May), does it mean that they will pay for April 1-30 earnings, or for May (1-18) also?

T I, above was not a repy to your post.

I for one intent to work with you guys here in an effort to resolve this.

The reason I have not posted since the start is that I do not know much more now than then. There have come up quite a few good suggestions here though, keep them coming.
As I mentioned I will contact AdSense Monday. Today Sunday I have mostly done deep Zen meditation, "come what may meditation".

I also likely will disclose more on my stuff here as this process proceeds.

One thing though, the email from AdSense (canned non specific and non personal, opens "Hello,") says "our specialists found
that your business model is not a good fit for the AdSense program".
So this "could" potentially be all about something else than the arbritage game. Yet, from what I see from the others here arbritage seems most likely reason.

From a different channel I know of one other webmaster who has gotten this email.

Last January Google sent out an e-mail inviting "selections of individually-reviewed sites" into its "custom placement packs program". I'm wondering if any of the banned accounts got this e-mail?

This is the reply I received after questioning their (Adsense) original email to me.

<paraphrase>
They were concerned with my means of driving traffic and that my business model did not comply to their landing page quality guidelines. Also that AdWords were used but the pages they targetted did not provide adequate information.

All sites multi-page, original content, no PLR, 1 adblock per page. Sites PR range from 0-3. Income $20k/mth. 99% Adwords traffic.

Wow! That's amazing to hear. So are you saying your profit was $20K per month? All from AdWords?

[europeforvisitors]

Avo19 mentions "99% AdWords traffic," and the Google e-mail refers to "landing page quality," so Avo19 obviously an AdWords advertiser.

Did any click arbitrageurs who've been getting their traffic from the content network (as opposed to Google Search ads) also get the "Your account is being disabled on June 1" e-mail? Or is it possible that this flap is about AdWords landing-page quality and not about MFAs at all?

From what I see, I don't believe it's (just) an LPQ issue, though that could be part of it.

I think it is mainly an anti-arb thang...

Is this just a rumor that has gotten out of control?

[DamonHD]

It's not a rumour to those whose AS a/cs are being disabled 1st June.
