Unacceptable Behavior From Google - Restricted My Entire Website

Since February 28th Adsense implemented 'restricted ad serving' on my entire site for 'sexual content.'

I have been in contact with them for the last week but they keep saying they are 'on it.'

Nothing has been fixed so far.

No posts are currently flagged either and I always request reviews on time, which get resolved within a few hours.

As a customer for years, I find this behavior unacceptable. Revenue has dropped at least 90%

If it's “unacceptable”, don't accept it. Move to a different ad provider.

But it must be said that February 28th (of this year?! i.e. barely a week) is not a very long time for action from a large entity of any kind.

I assume you mean dropped from adsense. Make it drop 100%, seriously.

Not to be vindictive, to protect your account. The moment a red flag goes up with your account, disable ad serving until they resolve the issue. Go ahead and replace the adsense code with code from another partner while you wait.

There are many adsense alternatives out there, and what better time to test one than when you're not getting anything from adsense? You can always restore adsense when they clear your account.

Yes I have done that of course, but adsense is still a bigger earner.

Anyway, interestingly enough they restored the ad serving today.

What are alternatives to Adsense in your opinion?
