I want to Re-apply for Adsense after Several Years

A qestion about reapplying for adsense

[FatManIsrael]

I'm sort of afraid to even post this because I don't want to be ridiculed for posting something like this, especially being new here. I read through all of the adsense reinstatement posts and have come to the conclusion that I want to re apply for adsense after several years of being booted.

It was a long time ago and I think it was due to fraudulent clicks. I did not create those clicks myself, nor did friends or family.

My question is, is 3 or so years enough time to reapply?

[leadegroot]

I believe the ban is a lifetime ban, but no harm in trying :)

[FatManIsrael]

Lifetime? Wow. That would really suck big time. I have been looking forward to the day of re-applying.

Your best approach is to make it clear that you are re-applying. Don't conceal that fact or minimize it.

Check your records so you do know why you were booted and tell them what you have learned since then that will make things different this time....

[AdSenseAdvisor]

Publishers disabled for invalid click activity are not allowed to participate in AdSense again. If you haven't already appealed the termination of your last account, you are welcome to do so.

ASA

[FatManIsrael]

AdsenseAdvisor, that termination was several years ago and I don't have that termination email so that I could reply...

[FatManIsrael]

I sent an email and they responded to me saying i should apply for reinstatement. Hopefully it will be okay, im so nervous.

What if you setup an LLC and obtain an EIN? A corporation is legally considered a separate entity, so this would technically be a "new application".

Google probably wouldn't like this, but I would think you would be technically abiding by their terms.

[MyNewPC]

When Google bans a site, they ban a site, regardless of which legal entity owns it at a later date. So even if that new entity was approved for AdSense, presumably based on a different website, they still will not serve their code on the banned site.

Hi FMI,

You can re-apply, but Google is not known for having mercy.
If you do not depend on a particular existing site, and you want to start all over again, it's easy.

New e-mail address, new PO Box, new company name, new ISP, new computer, new bank-account. Voila. It will cost you a bit, but if you really want to re-enter the program, it can be done.

I am not sure if Google wants you to do this, but I don't even think this is against their TOS.

Why people keep saying "new computer"?
I certainly believe Google could identify a computer because the toolbars installed, but isn't enough with a reinstallation? :)

[MFKaHB]

Perhaps you are right. But in case of re-applying for Adsense, I wouldn't risk the entire procedure. So to be 100% sure, I would even buy a new computer.

[ziajunu]

If website is banned, then it is lifetime ban, even new owner cant put adsense on the site.

If your account is banned, you can retry.

[puanthanh]

How about signing up from different computer internet conection with with different name and address, after being approved can we alter it?

[MFKaHB]

Alter it in what?

[puanthanh]

After you get approved, You can alter or change the Payee name and address to yours.

[purplecape]

And when you do that, puanthanh, Google will see who you are and ban you again--if they didn't figure it out earlier.

[wrgvt]

Don't be surprised that once they figure it out, that they withhold all AdSense income that had yet to be paid out.

[fischermx]

Actually, you can't alter the payee name. But they can alter it for you.
I once changed mine to my company name, since I incorporated two years ago.
I thought, they were going to ask me to open another account, but instead, they replaced my name with my company name, now my personal name is nowhere in the adsense account.
I think that was not correct, but they did it for me/to me.

[HowYesNo]

how about buying a new domain and then redirect visitors with htaccess? :D

[StoutFiles]

If you haven't already appealed the termination of your last account, you are welcome to do so.

If you say you aren't guilty, then you should appeal instead of all this effort to cheat the system.

Besides, how big of a site do you have? Are Google ads worth all this effort?

[whoisgregg]

I would even buy a new computer.

Some of the newer models come with a free tin-foil hat.

Wouldn't trust the one they provide though... ;)
