I signup adsense a few days ago (10 days?) and Adsense team reviewed and actived my account. I wonder why they disabled my account this time :(
I displayed google ads on some of my websites (download sites and online shop, never click them). These websites are content-based without any unacceptable site contents. I even refunded one of our advertiser who prearranged a promotion for their casino game one month ago. Now all Ads are empty areas (I do not want to remove their scripts because I did nothing wrong). Very disappointed :(

Gambling or casino-related content
If downloads were for MP3s, images or video:
In order to avoid associations with copyright claims, website publishers may not show AdWords ads in areas such as MP3, Video, News Groups, and Image Results.

If you still feel that you are following all that is included in those, on all the sites that you were running AdSense on, you can try and appeal the decision. But if you violated the rules, they may not be forgiving enough to give a second chance.
It does show that AdSense is checking to see that added websites to an account are being checked to make sure they meet all the requirements.
Jenstar, I did add ad sense to my other websites and I think they will review these sites. However, as I said, the URL in their email is the one I used in my application. I only provide downloads of software, including mp3 software and casino games in a sub-catalog.
I forget to say, they refused my application at the first time when I submitted my application because the following issues: (according to their email)
- Unacceptable site content
- Duplicate domain submission
I responded their email that time and asked them for my casino game catalog. They replied me that the issue should be "Duplicate domain submission" - My URL has been
previously submitted by another publisher.
Since Google allows publisher to use one set of AdSense codes on all their sites, could this invite competitors to grab our Adsense javascript code and put them in some Porn or Casino or whatever pages so that Google might disable his account?
I don't understand what secure we are from this kind of attack. Lame... but works though.

It certainly could. I think we would all hope that if something like this were to happen, Google would give us the opportunity to disassociate ourselves from a site that we are no part of.
Further, it would be very foolish of someone to do this because they open themselves to legal recourse for placing Google code on a website without permission.
It is happening all over the place.
Love to hear of some other examples.

I am going to guess that this discussion is happening behind close doors, because I have never heard it was common.
I so want domain specific stats.
absolutly people are runing other peoples code.
What would be the purpose (assuming it is done without the permission or knowledge of the Adsense account holder)?
This would be a good reason to have the Adsense stats broken down by domain (which is hopefully coming). Most of us would notice a strange domain in our stats if this happened, and be able to disassociate our account at an early stage....
Google is well known for having high standards.
Site owners may think that visitors see AdSense on a site and see it is a "Google approved" site, not just for adsense but a general approval, so having AdSense gives acceptability to the site.
So if your not approved you use somebody elses code and place a banner on your site to make surfers think you are a "Google approved" site, maybe even state that you are a "Google approved" site. Of course hoping visitors dont click on AdSense but click one of your other ads.
Just a thought.

I think this scenario is highly unlikely.

If you have previously applied to AdSense and your application is rejected, Google AdSense will block your domain, so if you place someone else's code on that domain, it will not display.
I totallly agree with with you that this is highly unlikely and far fetched. I was just giving an example in response to robho's question as to why somebody would do it.
I believe you can never underestimate the extent that people will go to get something.
Blue_Fin, it is true that once you apply for AdSense with a domain name, if not approved, it is blocked from displaying AdSense. You would have to put it on a site that you didn't apply for.
I was trying to keep the post short.
novice
Adwords reps were not able to help me remove my adwords from individual sites.
That theory is out! just like the Yankees. I quess it is a little far fetched but I am interested to know what other reasons someone would have for placing somebody elses code on their site.

There may be people who are clueless enough to think that placing someone else's code on their pages will cause the checks to come to them. (I know--it sounds stupid, but let's face it: For every person with an IQ of 120, there's another with an IQ of 80!)
