google starts to check you out. heavily and will likely slow you down or close you down.
Im told they will only let you earn a minimum of $4000 a month before you are likely to be dropped back down to $1000 a month..
There is even a UPS club for people earning more than 10k a month..
As they say pays your money and takes your chances

Not true whatsoever.
Yes, you might get your site checked for AdSense terms/policies compliancy if you are making a significant income through AdSense, but why would they want to drop you from $4000 to $1000? By doing so, they would lose money as well. The more you make, the more Google makes too.
There are many publishers here who have made $4000+ every month this year.
Ask ogletree.

It wouldn't surprise me one bit.

600,000 impressions/day
1% CTR (6,000 Clicks)
$0.50 per click

I can't go into detail as I don't have permission from the involved parties, but I can confirm your opening post to this thread. Twice. Both site owners were well acquainted with the TOS, and followed it to the letter. Both sites steadily increased daily/monthly revenue until hitting that one "magical" month, and then in a matter of a few days, daily revenue dropped until tapering off somewhere near the lower monthly number. Now, daily/monthly revenue is stable and consistent around the lower monthly number, with no signs of ever hitting that one time monthly high again.
After talking to the two individuals and thinking about the matter, I believe that perhaps something akin to a "reverse sandbox" (can I claim this as mine?) is going on here. I believe the only reasonable explanation that allows everyone to come out ahead, is that there is some kind of fortuitous boon phenomena whereby a site might get some initial extra exposure in the SERPS for statistical analysis only and then after a few months the site stands on its own, hence the drop.
I know for a fact that copying someone elses page that makes $x per click will only result in 1/3X on other site.
It won't earn anything all if the copying is illegal and the copier's AdSense account is disabled as a result.
In any case, if Google does put an upper limit on earnings from a single keyword or keyphrase, that's not unreasonable. If nothing else, it helps to protect advertisers from having their accounts sucked dry by a high-traffic but non-converting site (an occurrence
that has been reported several times on the AdWords forum). It's also a good example of why Google doesn't choose to reveal its compensation formula, which probably changes to meet the needs of Google and advertisers.
Once you reach some magic number number google makes sure that your inventory is spread around 100's of terms and not just a couple of high paying ones.
Good observation!
Pure piffle. Feel welcome to claim it - it won't catch on. :)
>>site might get some initial extra exposure in the SERPS for statistical analysis only and then after a few months the site stands on its own
May happen to some sites that may be playing the game a bit differently to the sites I know. At least three accounts I'm familiar with have been over $4,000 for over a year. Good, solid, content sites with every page having existed before Adsense was launched.
>>Is google against anyone who earns more than 5k a month
My response is
Like.. i nearly laughed my head off. Like yah ... there is no way..;)
That kind of people say: $5000 a month? No way!
Is goodle against anyone who earns more than 5k a month. I have heard this from several people
What utter tripe...
