Yet none of my articles have Shocking or derogatory content.

I put up several reviews and Google cleared them a weak later, and reinstalled ad serving

Just today this is the 7th time this last two weeks someone is reporting my website articles, Im scared because if I keep getting these reports they will ban my entire account. This person whoever is reporting me is not letting up they keep reporting probably someone who hated one of my articles and has a vendetta or a competitor, there are a lot of losers out there who want to cancel people for some reason and wont rest.

What can I do? they know google will just disable ad serving any false allegation they just take down ads off the bat and someone keeps doing this to me.

Is it a competitor

I don't change anything and just send in a review and get cleared, apparently anyone can get someones ads removed just reporting random articles because google takes down ads without investigating first they only investigate if the website owner and adsense publisher requests a review.

someone can just false report you and unless you request a review your ads will be pulled

yet ive been flag for shocking content and derogatory content. Also I got flagged for nudity when I just had NAKED juice in the title of my article and it was an article on how to make a smoothie for athletes. No nudity, no naked pictures just saying Naked Juice.


They even reported one of my new articles that was getting a ton of traffic I wake up my adsense earnings were low, super low and then saw I had a policy violation, someone is doing this I dont think google would go after a small time blog like mine this many times, they dont even punish sites like TMZ or Perez Hilton and they post vulgar content from time to time. I have no vulgar content, no cuss words, everything is PG.

First of all, are you sure someone is reporting you? or could it be Google's AI flagging your pages?

If you're positive it's an attack, safest - although costly - remedy is to temporarily remove ads from your pages.

You are not alone. In last 30+ days something has changed at google. Way too many policy violation on pages which has particularly no violation. Either they have a very strict robots filtering content (and no human intervention because of less staff) Or there is a new Robot reporting other people content.

Mostly these violation got removed without changing anything and just submitting the content again. You just loose money in between for non serving of ads.

There's another discussion this month about the same kind of situation: [webmasterworld.com...] that might help to see what others are doing about it.

Levo Im thinking its some hater or competitor or an employee at google is doing this who dislikes my website, because they are reporting only articles that are the SAME topic of discussion. I remember several people leaving comments on my Discus and I banned them they were fighting with other members and threatening to take down my website just cause I shared a different opinion.

Why would an AI hit me this many times this often on the same article and every single time I file a Review they enable Ad Serving again and say they found nothing wrong with the site. I dont even change anything thats what crazy so someone is reporting me.

Ive only had policy Violations this month, Never had them before ever.

Ive only had them this last two weeks its getting out of hand.

Hello,

I am NOT denying that a given person is behind this, I am just sharing random thoughts :

only articles that are the SAME topic of discussion

May be this same topic is misleading the AI. After all, if one article on a given topic, is raising filter, an other article on the same or related topics should too.

The topic itself might be totally clean, but, for the AI, may be it's related to something else, that "we", humans, can't think about. Or may be this topic is also used in a different way by some.

Since 2-3 months, I also see policy violation notices, coming randomly, about a single page of one of my site. I still didn't figured out what can trigger it, but each time this notice is removed from the policy center, one or two days later, without any action from me. (no change in the page, and no apply for a review). So may be this is hiccups of the system. Or may be notifications are sent automatically, then manually reviewed. I have no idea.

Now I have a theory, BUT, without any proof, so this is really just a loose guess, but, for some reasons, I feel like it might be related to how a visitor is reaching a page, and not the page content itself. Like for example, a page with "violence" related content, links to an article at another site, someone follows the link, this other page is associated to the concept of "violence" by Google/Adsense. I know it sounds silly, and I hope this is not the case, otherwise, imagine how it can be abused.

If you've a 'related content' section, a thumbnail or title on same topic could trigger warning on other pages on same topic.

Levo none of my related content is vulgar or derogatory, ive had this blog for 12 years and never had a single policy violation until this last two or three weeks.

This is getting out of hand, I wonder if it has to do witht he current cancel culture and ultra PC sensitivity stuff going on. where they are protecting the advertiser from having their ads on site deemed insensitive. Google sent me another Policy Violation again this morning and I have no idea what dangerous and derogatory content to clean up, whats crazy its the SAME article I sent in a review and they cleared it a few days ago.

So its either the googles AI or someone reporting my articles with multiple accounts or something its just weird.

That doesn't matter, you should find which image/content that Google 'thinks' is 'vulgar.' As I said on the other topic, on my website Google's AI though goggles of an illustrated scientist were boobs.

levo what content or image when I have no nudity, no vulgarity, I found none. and why only the last two weeks out of 12 years can you explain that? it makes no sense did you not read I sent that same article for review and they put advertising back and cleared it. now they send me another policy violation with the same article, only thing I can think is someone used multiple account to report it and they just got that one and punished me again.

It doesn't add up, what is the reasoning for why now after 12 years? Im confused here, no vulgarity on related content, only ads I use are adsense.

Can you explain that and also when you said a scientist glasses looks like boobies that shows how bad their AI is, TMZ, perezn hiton and other big corps have clear vulgarity and derogatory content repeating vulgarity used by celebs word for word, suggestive photos yet still have adsense showing.

It's the result of machine learning technology, and its use in Adsense is relatively new. If your page is clean, and if it's not an attack, then obviously the AI is making a mistake.

You could try to find what's triggering the false policy violations, or you could wait for them to improve their algorithms.
