Google Adsense Ban Has Me Thinking About the Dark Side

This is clearly a vent. I have been banned from Google for almost 2 years now for "Invalid Clicks" that I will swear until the end I did not do. Such is life, from Google's perspective.

Now I'm wondering about truly turning into evil (from good, mind you) and :

1. Setting up an account in someone else's name
2. "Borrowing an account from someone willing to split the revenue
3. Going to another state, getting a P.O. box and starting from scratch.

Google's policy has a once honest person, considering being truly deceitful with them. Have they ever stopped to consider that everyone charged with Invalid Clicks is not guilty?

Rant done. I do feel a bit better.

Also, I'm an opportunist like everyone else. Is there no company out there willing to answer the call of those in disgust with Google? It's a superpower only because most other companies are following their lead, even though there are clearly paths they could mark themselves.

You could try wearing the fake-glasses-and-moustache disguise as well.

I think your biggest obstacles are going to be:
1. Social Security Number
2. Website URL

They're both tied to your banned account.

Why would you want to do business with a company that doesn't want to do business with you, especially since you'd stand to lose your unpaid earnings if you got caught sneaking in through the back door? There are other ad networks besides AdSense.

Sorry to disappoint you, but I don't think that getting around Google's ban by incorporating a company or setting up an account in a partner's name is that evil. I'm sure most of us would consider doing the same thing if we were banned and the circumstances were right.

Setting up an account using someone else's name and SSN without their knowledge, THAT'S evil, LOL.
