Adsense banned - Like losing a job
Well today I got a terrible email from google. My adsense account has been deleted. I found it extremely strange at first but then came to realize why. My account had been live for over a year without any problems, regular CTR and very reliable. No reason to be banned for invalid clicks. The reason was intact for my account being related to an account which was found to have invalid clicks. That infact was about 2 years ago when I just started doing websites and was an ignoramus.
In the end I have lost 200-300$ worth of unpaid money and also have lost my way of advertising - atleast for just now. I will send google an email to see anyway to get it reversed or if im allowed another account for my other websites. For just now I need to find a new advertiser - like looking for a new job.

No that is the strange thing. Im pretty sure google was supposed to pay me last month and the month before that but failed to do so. I didnt bother to check too much since I assumed I would just get it later. Makes me think they took me for a ride for a couple months but i assume not.

Also the reason I think they banned me now is because I contacting them asking about putting ads into free templates and if it was against the TOS. They didnt reply and maybe instead it just flagged my account for them to look at somehow.
That’s terrible news Michael. I hope you can find a suitable replacement.
Ouch.. yeah that sucks. I hope you can get it reversed.
300 it is not enough for this time
Oh that is to bad, sorry to hear hope they reassign you.
Please let us know if you get back in.
That sucks, I hope you get everything worked out. Thats a good chunk of money gone.

Yeah I should be getting £600 for a freelancing job though to soften the blow
Bad news. i was banned after 2 years for few clicks in the beginning….
Thats why i say “GOOGLE is not a god”
Google also banned me once in my past.
Yeah, that sucks. Maybe get someone you know to recieve the checks for you? Although you couldn’t put ads on this site anymore…

It wasn’t this website account which got banned so that wouldn’t be the problem. I don’t want to go around them with other people getting paid and money laundering. I am going to persevere with my emailing google to try and get reinstated.
Ok, that’s a good idea then.
Mine got banned from invaild clicks emailed them and got no reply.
You can not solely depend on Text Link Ads?! If you work on increasing your PR and boost your Alexa rating, you should be able to set a steep yet acceptable price.
Ah, that’s always a fear back in the minds of every blogger. The horror stories just keep building.
Have you considered doing any direct ad sales?
Was that $300 in a single month?
