Your stats get stuck and you will never see that revenue again. This company needs to go. Crooks. Plain and simple. Justice Department's anti-trust division can't prosecute too soon. Break them up. Slay this horrendous beast.
Here's what frosts me, and is evidence of criminal behavior, whether done by AI or humans, because humans program the AI.
The weekends have become my best days in terms of revenue, page views, etc. This morning I get up and check my Adsense stats. They are horrible. Revenue the lowest of the month, and that's a Saturday, with the highest number of pageviews of the month, but, oddly, impressions are suspiciously low. In a minute, I find out why. I have policy violations on 10 of my best pages. These are pages that have had policy violations in the past and which I've corrected, even though they're nothing, but I'm just playing in Google's sandbox, right?
Anyhow, I am in the policy review and notice that the "latest enforcement action" is February 21. That's two days ago and I know these pages were not flagged on my dashboard because I check for policy violations every day, every damn day, and often two or three times.
So, Google puts me in policy prison, with "restricted ad serving" for two days without letting me know. And, BTW, the policy they claim that I'm in violation of is adult content, which it is clearly not, as there are no photos on the page and every mention of questionable words (I've had to eliminate the words "sex", "nude", "provocative" and others from my lexicon) has been scrubbed and eliminated.
When you request a review of your site or various pages, Google throws up a message that says they will inform you when the review is complete. I've done 40 or 50 reviews and have yet to see a message from Google of a completed review. Squat, Nothing.
These people are a criminal enterprise. They don't pay taxes, treat government like some ugly wart, and their customers like slaves to their deity, the almighty Google.
If they're doing things like this to me, and I'm very much small peanuts, what are they doing to other sites, on a systematic basis, over and over and over again, to bolster their bottom line, or to push small operators out of business, or to benefit their allies. There's plenty of suspicious behavior going on at the "plex" and it needs to end.
