To make a long story short, I received a weird Adsense 'Page Level Violation' where ad serving was disabled on a very old page that barely sees the light of day, because there was a DMCA complaint made for copyright infringement.
The page in question held an article, which we bought from a blogger more than a decade ago. I guess he must have sold the same article to others.
The DMCA complaint was not made this month or even this year - but in 2011!
I had no idea the page even had a DMCA complaint against it, never received a notice.
Not sure why it took Adsense this long to hit me with a violation on the page.
Unlike other Adsense violations that I've had in the past, there is no option to have the Page Level Violation reviewed or to mark it as resolved. I guess you have to file a counter-claim against the company making the complaint (which I did).
In the mean-time I took the page down and emailed Adsense to inquiry on how I can get this violation removed from the Policy Center section.
The rep claims, that because I took the page down it will resolve on its own and the violation will fall off the account. He said the alternative was to remove ads from the page. He says that he will monitor the account to ensure it falls off.
Does anyone know how long it takes for this violation to fall off? Anyone experience this kind of mess before?
