Just today, my google account was disabled. They didn't give me a reason, other than that i've violated something in their TOS. I've read over the TOS very carefully, and the only thing i can see that might make sense, is that 3 days ago, i pulled down an article (from my site, written by someone else) that has curse words in it. I don't promote this type of language on any of my websites, so i took it down, but left the adsense intact for that page. Over the last few days, i've still been generating traffic to the page ($100+ per day in adsense revenue). I had intentions of putting up a new article with similar content (minus the curses), but didn't have an opportunity to until today. I was actually in the process of typing the updated article when i got the email from google. I've explained this to them, but i haven't gotten an email back yet. The reason i'm worried is because my website is my main source of income, and i'm currently expecting a $2400 check from google, which i now fear they won't send me.
Does anyone know what i can do? any help would be greatly appreciated.
What are other options?
I think that the clicks generated by purchased traffic are statistically VERY similar to the click generated by fraudulent activity.
And that's even more tue if you think of the already anomalous traffic going to an Adsense-only page, thus generating even stronger anomalies in the clicking patterns.
I believe that the safest people on earth from numerical analysis by G's fraud analysis algorithms are those whose stats are as boring as can be, i.e., those with no discernible patterns whatsoever.
If it truely was a mistake then tell G exactly what happened and why. Do it in a concise manner, be polite, and promise that you won't make that mistake again. And tell them about the link that caused a magnification of the problem - you don't have to tell them you purchased any links - none of their business.
cross fingers and toes.
He had a page with curse words. Strike one. When he took the content off, he didn't take the AdSense code off too (or remove the page altogether), so he was left with AdSense on a page with no content. Strike two.
Two strikes with AdSense = you're out. I am guessing that AdSense sees a "pattern" of violations.
You got to be kidding me...if this is true,
All the Pay Per Click companies including Google provides bad traffic.
You have to tell Google, Yahoo and MSN on this because they sell traffic to advertisers.
What a lame analogy!
sneaky redirects
It's sneaky redirects to your pages. I'm beginning to think people here are correct.
Hundreds of subdomain javascript re-directs is very sneaky ;)
i don't even know what a subdomain javascript re-direct is. and i really am being honest. i think you may be looking at the wrong site
I don't expect you to admit it at this point if you were doing something along these lines, but if you're sure you weren't then you should take a hard look at where your traffic was coming from.
That's what it means to me...
