I wish that 'G' stuff was approchable...They banned my account I dont even know 'WHY'...They said that there was activity for 'Invalid Clicks' or 'Third Party Pop Up Pages'...neither was done...I am trying to contact them, filled out an 'APPEAL' form, but no response for 2 weeks now...

Anu suggestions I would appreciate. Thannks

I doubt you'll get a response.

How much were you making?

You were probably clicking your own ads too much.

sem4u · 02-06-2006, 09:16 AM

Too much? You shouldn't be clicking your own ads anyway!

Klaas Koopman · 02-06-2006, 09:43 AM

most people who get banned deserve it! That's all I gotta say, don't know if you deserve it, but most people do!

Julie · 02-06-2006, 10:11 AM

Obviously you shouldn't be clicking your ads at all! But if you happened to accidentally click them a couple times, Google isn't going to ban you for that. I'll agree with Klaas...most people who get banned deserve it. I know a top site that uses Google, I wish they'd be banned...they do things against the TOS and they haven't been caught yet. grr!

I had over $50 accumulated, but did not release that money...so now, they closed my account and they kept money.
I did not click on any ads myself nor I asked anyone to clik on them. They were all real clicks.

Did the ads happen to be on the site in your sig?

metpower · 02-06-2006, 10:20 AM

I was participating on payperclick program from Yahoo(overture)...I was getting traffic with clicks, one thing that comes to my mind is that someone purposely clicked on my adsense ads just to ban this business, I am thinking of someone that knows me and is withing the same office location where I am.

What do you guys think??

metpower · 02-06-2006, 10:21 AM

They will not ban you, because some one else clicked on your add! Otherwise every site would be banned, cause everyone would click bomb their adsense!

show us the website you were putting the ad's on!

Julie · 02-06-2006, 10:46 AM

If that's the site you were putting ads on, no wonder you were banned! I'm surprised they approved you in the first place....

Click on my signature link, THis is the main page had them and then click on work from home on the left side of the main page...That HTML page had it too.

I thought that I was doing everything accorind to their policy. One thing though: I was participating on page exit program(popup stuff), do you think this could be the reason??

what makes you think that I was banned because of my website?
what is it exactly that you think made them closing adsense program?

Julie · 02-06-2006, 11:50 AM

They told you they saw pop-ups, so yeah, the pop-ups killed you.

metpower · 02-06-2006, 12:34 PM

ohh, now it is pop-ups? their email was prefixed kind...e.g

i just visited the site... what was wrong with it?

C.Whyte · 02-06-2006, 02:12 PM

I feel your pain. The same thing happened to me a while back. I had made around $20 (which took a LONG time) then BAM, banned from Google with a single email. I tried to appeal, but to no avail. I switched to Clicksor Ads, you should check them out as an alternative, haven't had a problem with them (yet)
