Don’t let Google Adsense Ban you!
Before you start reading this article, let me inform you that my Adsense account was banned recently. Yes, it was banned a while ago due to my sheer negligence 
. A while back, I had put adsense code in some of the free WordPress themes that are available here on Blog Oh! Blog. This was not a problem until some of the free themes got picked up and started getting used by porn blogs and other such XXX sites. Though Google did warn me that my code is being used by XXX sites, I hardly paid attention because I was sure that I don’t own any such sites ( I totally forgot that my code was present in the free themes and neither did I feel the need to open those sites – which could have given me a clue). Anyway, my ass got banned after some time… I will share with all of you how Google let me create a new Adsense account (which is almost rare) at the end of this article, so read on!
Google, being the indisputable leader in search engines from then until now, is placing a high importance on the quality and relevancy of its search engines. Most especially now that the company is public property. In order to keep the shareholders and users of its engines happy, the quality of the returned results are given extreme importance.For this same reason, doing the wrong things in the Adsense and other forms of advertisements, whether intentionally or unintentionally, will result in a severe penalty, may get you banned and even have your account terminated. Nothing like a good action taken to keep wrongdoers from doing the same things over again.
So for those who are thinking of getting a career in Adsense, do not just think of the strategies you will be using to generate more earnings. Consider some things first before you actually get involved.
Hidden texts
Filling your advertisement page with texts to small to read, has the same color as the background and using css for the sole purpose of loading them with rich keywords content and copy will earn you a penalty award that is given to those who are hiding links.
Page cloaking
There is a common practice of using browser or bot sniffers to serve the bots of a different page other than the page your visitors will see. Loading a page with a bot that a human user will never see is a definite no-no. This is tricking them to click on something that you want but they may not want to go to.
Multiple submissions
Submitting multiple copies of your domain and pages is another thing to stay away from. For example, trying to submit a URL of an Adsense as two separate URL’s is the same as inviting trouble and even termination. Likewise, this is a reason to avoid auto submitters for those who are receiving submissions. Better check first if your domain is submitted already an a certain search engine before you try to submit to it again. If you see it there, then move on. No point contemplating whether to try and submit there again.
Link farms
Be wary of who and what are you linking your Adsense to. The search engines know that you cannot control your links in. But you can certainly control what you link to. Link farming has always been a rotten apple in the eyes of search engines, especially Google. That is reason enough to try and avoid them. Having a link higher than 100 on a single page will classify you as a link farm so try and not to make them higher than that.
Page rank for sale
If you have been online for quite some time, you will notice that there are some sites selling their PR links or trading them with other sites. If you are doing this, expect a ban anytime in the future. It is okay to sell ads or gain the link. But doing it on direct advertisement of your page rank is a way to get on search engines bad side.
Doorways
This is similar to cloaking pages. The common practice of a page loaded with choice keyword ads aimed at redirecting visitors to another “user-friendly” page is a big issue among search engines. There are many seo firms offering this kind of services. Now that you know what they actually are, try to avoid them at all costs.
Multiple domains having the same content
In case you are not aware of it, search engines look at domains IP’s, registry dates and many others. Having multiple domains having the same exact content is not something you can hide from them. The same goes with content multiplied many times on separate pages, sub domains and forwarding multiple domains to the same content.
Many of the above techniques apply to most search engines and is not entirely for Google only. By having a mind set that you are building your Adsense together with your pages for the human users and not for bots, you can be assured of the great things for your ads and sites. Not to mention avoiding the wrath of the search engines and getting your Adsense and site account terminated altogether.
Continuing with my story, let me explain how Google let me create a new account. As soon as I got banned, I wrote them an e-mail explaining the situation and how my Adsense code was in the free themes. In their reply, Google told me that those codes need to be removed before they can do anything. The sorry state became sorrier for me because I had no control over these sites that were using my themes. I again mentioned in an e-mail to Google that I could not control these sites and there was no way that code was going to be removed from those websites. Google, being so understanding, asked me to suggest a way as to what they should do.. imagine!.. Google was asking me for a suggestion..
I told them that I could create a new account and that way, I will get a new publisher-ID which I will not use in the free themes anymore. To my surprise, Google agreed and let me sign up for a new Adsense account. The account got approved the very next day after I applied for it. I asked them if the statistics from my old account could be migrated to the new account. The Google Rep told me that it was not possible but going that extra mile, he sent me totals for the last two years’ months. So, you see..all is possible if you are honest and are ready to cooperate with Google. Be calm, communicate and provide all the relevant proof that you can.
I hope everyone learns from this article and of course from my example too. Let me know how you have faired with Adsense so far
thanks for good support……….
thanks for good ideas…………..
Really very very helpful post basically for beginners like me.Would u please explain more vastly that how can I regain adsense for a website that has been banned?Plz share us if possible.
Good post. However, this was written in 2008 and I wonder if the rules have changed.
I noticed an increase in traffic to my main pages and got scared since I had ads on those pages.
The earnings were so small that I removed the ads. I want to keep my account for maybe a future project.
In March 2012, tons of people lost their accounts so I decided to figure out what the heck is going on.
I found this report that explains many of the problems http://savemypay.com
Basically like you said, I think most publishers break the Adsense TOS.
Its not the end of the world if you get banned from google. The PPC Market is growing every day so their are really some good networks that are not google. http://www.adnection.com happens to be a good alternative.
I agree with you, all game is depend on honest. Story is really cool.
I have so many Adsense accounts banned that I’ve lost track. I lost most of them due to click fraud. More specifically, my sites were click bombed because the ranked high for particular keywords. I started using http://adsensedefender.com and I haven’t lost an Adsense account in months.
Hallo, maybe you would like to join us on the AntyAdsense fan page on facebook. It’s in polish but it’s about being banned by Google AdSense probably by the ‘Click fraud’ attack – as google says.

I signed up for google adsense with my blog’s url hackingformoney.blogspot.com but google didn’t accept my request, it said that the age requirement hasn’t reched so was it talking about my age (I am under 18 but payee is above 18) or was talking about my blogs age(2 to 3 ago I had opened it).
Its true.
Have you ever heard that google mass banned usa ? or uk or canada ? noo its just asians countries. Why you know the rest
.
Just wish to say your article is as astounding. The clearness in your post is just great and i could assume you are an expert on this subject. Fine with your permission allow me to grab your feed to keep up to date with forthcoming post. Thanks a million and please carry on the rewarding work.
Hello and nice article! I also got my Google Adsense account banned, I don’t know why. Their reason was that “After reviewing our records, we’ve determined that your AdSense account poses a risk of generating invalid activity”.
Just a few days before that, I submited about 25 comments with anchor text to my site on random blogs from Blogspot which automatically accept comments. Do you think that this looked suspicious in Google’s eyes? After all, they were just comments.
Or maybe was it because of the content of my blogs (music, online games or fitness) with images from other sites? In this case…shouldn’t my Blogspot account got banned, and not the Adsense account?
Thanks for the help!
detailed and informative. it’s good that you were allowed by google adsense again. most banned members have no luck reapplying.
thanks my dear friend. great share. i think it’s very helpful to me. thanks again.
As I have read through Adsense TOS and contacted an Adsense expert, I can say you should not really use ANY OF THESE services. Thanks for the post
Hello ,I’m come from china and I really hope that you can give me a wordpress theme about google adsens .Thanks!
Unfortunately, it’s pretty much impossible to get in contact with a real human being from Google’s AdSense department. It’s pretty sad that Google, an insanely rich company, can’t hire a few support representatives for AdSense.
My accounts were banned for invalid activity. The automated appeal process was a failure.
I’m stuck with using Smowtion, which sucks, but is the only good AdSense alternative.
Thanks for your nice article. Your story of google adsense was very nice. And I agree to your point that if you are honest, no body can harm you. From my experience about google, I believe that google is smart enough to catch who is cheating with them and who is honest. So google is good for good people and bad for bad people……
At last google is awesome,

Avoiding the CTR Theme will help your cause… Way too many ads above the fold and not enough content. Try the Thesis Theme…
http://www.zagonreviews.com/thesis-wordpress-theme-review/
Good article by the way and a reminder not to include you adsense code in themes downloadable for free.
Another one you should put up there (I know it’s an old post, bu still…) AdSense didn’t ban my account, but my site. I can’t put ads on yourepeat.com anymore because of “Excessive use of other google products”. So you can’t have google services related apps to use with AdSense. Well, I should say my app gets about 1.5 million views a month, so if you have one, just make sure it doesn’t get more than 1 million a month
Encouraging for other banned adsense users. Thanks for sharing.
looks like completely fake and unsupported article to me , google asking a publisher
. they banned dailynews.com.pk big pakistani news site without asking and asking him for providing wordpress themes lol.
To make your article more authentic. Should attach an image of that email which google sent u .
Hello
I’ve been using http://www.AdGeni.com and they are 1000 times better than Adsense. Google banned my site for no reason, and not allowed to appeal.
Well, you article is quite encouraging, specially for those who are suffering from such situation. I have read hundreds of people saying their account is never re-enabled and yes this quite rare but congrats you got your account back.
Recently, My account was disabled and i did not do anything wrong. I did not get any warning or notice if there was something wrong with my site. And they did not even mention any valid reason for banning my site. What should i do? I filed an appeal with all the relevant details i could give them like my website, its desc, source of traffic etc.
Any suggestions?
thank you for your tips, cooperatip and goog communication is the key.
My account has been banned for an unknown reason. Help
On June 16 2011? My account was banned as well, I just started to earn some more money on this…So now I’m going to find another provider.
how long you guys working on adsense? and when it was banned from it? i have just started to be a publisher in adsense and for 10 days i got 70 UDS now i am worried cause it might that adsense will terminate me or banned my account.
if you want me to get beck your adsense for you,you will need to pay me $50(LR)

my account got banned MULTIPLE SUBMISSIONS, is there any other way than mailing google to start over adsense??
very gooooooooooooood
http://www.nb-des.com/vb
thanks for this article…It will help me…to save my account….
Thnx for sharing your story mate. I dont know why, but I have always the fear from Google that someday will ban my site cuz Ive read such a different stories related to this.
Google banned my account recently. I am not sure as to why, my earnings were actually going down, so I was quite surprised when I got the email. I appealed but to no avail and no answer as to why. I did start getting a strange message when I tried to log in to the adsesne page saying that the site was not trusted and that going there was not recommended . I have four sites up at the moment. Anyone got any suggestions ?
People still link farms? Pretty sure its ineffective a long time ago.
i heard that even we will be banned from google if we put cracks and keys in our site and also some hacking tips and etc. is that true??? i am worried now
i swear google are very strict in terms of service. i got ban. first when i open google ads i got my google ads account. i inserted in my website. i did know anything about invalid click. i want to test whether if someones click on the site i will get a point and i click. i only had 0.34 euros. okay now i was getting visitors to my google account till i had 130 euros and i got ban. oh my God, whats happening to me. now i contacted them to be reinstated and they refuse. can i now reopen google ads account with the same details
last year google banned my account.
I don’t know why they block my account. I create new adsense account. But system block me. I tried to contact them asking about my balance earning . Praise be to god, i received cheque few month later.
I got banned on september 14, 2010 here is my story http://depot-king.com/i-got-banned-from-adsense/
“Having a link higher than 100 on a single page will classify you as a link farm so try and not to make them higher than that.”
What does this mean? particularly this:
“Having a link higher than 100″
Silly article. You dont even get a responce from Google when writing to them. I wrote them several times when they banned me and stole my money without a warning or anything. I dont even know what I did wrong. They never once wrote back.
To hell with google.
i was banned how can i register again? use the same name and url?
I was banned for invalid clicks. I’m not sure how this happened.
Can I create a new account with a new name, address, and other information?
Can I still use the same http:// URL?
Can I create a new account with a different email but same information as before?
What if a family member wants a google adsense account? Can they create an account with the same address and URL but there name and email is different?
I read people creating new accounts ASAP once there is deleted. How do they do this?
Thank you
These are some good tips, and you can also add even more. Like the one that you can’t have a menu of your site come above a google ads , etc.
I just joined Google Adsense the other day to put up on my money making blog… I can’t help but feel like I’m walking in a mine field with these guys. Don’t do this and don’t do that, oh and be sure to do this (just read their site).
Sheesh. What gets me the most is the inability to clarify the ban or get reinstated somehow. I just hope I won’t get banned inexplicably.
I set up a site for a client recently and he uttered your very words , he went one step further though in regards to him not being accepted as an ebay affiliate – he said what do they think they are , God ?
I will tell you the same as I told him , its all about Money and Money is a very very serious business , you would not give money away for nothing and you certainly would not pay someone who was somehow ripping you off or “rigging the system” right ?
Try and see it that way and as the OP said BE HONEST and you have nothing to fear !
Also I HIGHLY recommend something more that the OP did not mention that could save you in his example.
Go to your google adsense account and under Adsense Setup go to ; ALLOWED SITES . List YOUR sites and only the sites you want your google adsense code to appear on .
Do not select the box that says Allow Any Site ti display code as this is a sure way of someone nasty coming along (including your competitors) and stealing your code and placing it on a porn site !!
If you have lots of sites it may take a while to list them all but it will be well worth it !
Hi, how did you contact google? (Youre saying you wrote them an email..)
Nice post.
Very useful information.
I’ve been searching around, then found this here.
Thanks bro.
dont stop posting!
Great article! To find out why Google can catch even the most clever cheaters, see my URL above.
Hi there.
I think google become so strict because there is a lot of people trying to abuse. but in the end of the day, it is pretty hard to tell if someone is scamming then at will.
The best way to avoid get banned is keeping away from bad sites, linking to them, using warez scripts. Use your common sense and you will be ok.
Well, That was a nice talk with Google Huh?
You are luck indeed to make a discussion with Google Adsense Suport Team regarding your Adsense Account Termination.
Thanks for those Tips.
My account also was suspended. But I still cannot reinstated it even though it was not my fault actually.
But, I have to move on and forget what happened.
Great story. I’ll keep this in my mind too.
@Clarence:- Clarence, geographical area has nothing to do with Google tracing your IP. You can even get a new IP address that is only 1 number different than your BANNED URL and with the SAME NAME and you can still get a new Adsense or Adwords Account..of course their are 11 other steps that must be taken, not including driving traffic fast..contact me for more info.

@Rohit Kanaujia:- Everyone here is an Entrepreneur correct? It is that drive that should propel you to find a quick answer when any of us are banned! Please forward my email address to anyone you know who is banned from indexing, adsense or adwords for help.

@ronelM:- This is not the end of the road..check this company out.They helped me get my Adsense Account Back..
wow nice tips and great story i hope google reinstated my account i also got banned with them and i appealed already but since now they really don’t reply from my messages ,can i know how many days before adsense team answered you to ur appeal?
hi,greats tips from you.my adsense account was banned too recently.but manage to get back my Account.visit here http://webadvertisingonline.blogspot.com/2009/09/how-to-get-back-your-banned-google.html

Great story. I will keep this in my mind.
A very awesome post!
hmmmm thanks.
aacrepairbible@gmail.com -Everyone here is an Entrepreneur correct? It is that drive that should propel you to find a quick answer when any of us are banned! Please forward my email address to anyone you know who is banned from indexing, adsense or adwords for help.
i also had the same incident involving my nephew clicking in on my site’s google ads. thanks for the info.
Hi Jai, how do you contact adsense team? which email did you used?
My account was also banned by adsense after two days when I signed up in May 2007 because of my fault invalid clicks. Since then I have open a new account by understanding program policy and terms and condition carefully. One year has passed my new account is not in any problem and I am earning about 60 to 70 dollars per month. So I suggest those who are newbie in this online business is to understand the policies and terms and condition before join in any online business. When you do something wrong google know each and every step what you are doing if you have a new account.
actually google banned me about a month ago and i know fully well that i was responsible for the act, i have another adsense acct now but not with the intentions of clicking my ads.
I’m a member of Ring3Ds group and getting 300+ clicks per day on adds in my page(clicks amount grow day by day). Will that lead me to ban.(I’m getting good income through that)
This is really Good that your account is back with you
Thanks for the article.
Was wondering this very thing myself and stumbled upon your page.
Nice article for a beginning blogger like me. Nice Advice. I’ll keep it clean and green.
Well, I must also say that I come across more reports of banned AdSense accounts with every day. For very large and prominent publishers, the chance to reopen an account does really exist, for small ones this is highly unlikely though.
For those that got banned, like junshibuya: Just try some alternatives. There are several other contextual advertisers out there, it doesn’t always have to be Googe AdSense. I can recommend the following provider, for example: Oxado.

Hey this post is so useful, and I have got a few addition to that.
Others such as Suspiciously high CTR, Clickers’ IP addresses come from the same geographical area, which means you have got your friends helping and etc.
I have got those summarized here. http://www.clarencewang.com/blog/internet-marketing/11-reasons-google-adsense-can-ban-your-account
@Iwan:-
you’ll get banned when your account reach $100 for the first time. They will check you account when they send your first check.
google always care only for a big publisher… for one and some case… i m never heard some people get the account back after get banned in every excuse!
Anyway, congratulation for you… and yes, google is going suck for me
If you are in the habit of adding your adsense code to templates and themes for place holding purposes, you can change the publisher ID in them to all 0′s.
But even better, if they are wordpress or other php based templates, is to use a php include to insert the adsense code, and use a adsense.php file. In the file you include with the template, use graphics (fake ads) for samples and not live ads. Instruct the user to replace the entire contents of the adsense.php file with his adsense code.
This is just good design principles, making the site modular and easy to maintain by using seperate php files for all the elements.
The problem with putting any live adsense code in a template and giving that template away for free, is that some people misunderstand and think they have to keep your ads on it in order to have the rights to use it.
They mistakenly think if you ever visit their site and they have replaced the ad code with their own or removed ads entirely, that you will sue them for a Terms of Use violation related to your template.
This is why some sites will keep the designer’s ads in their template and not make a dime for ads they are showing on their site. They think they have to.
hi jai.
very informative post you got here.i got a doubt.
i recently moved my wordpress blog from free hosting to paid hosting.that is from
techtricks.x10hosting.com to techtricks.co.in.
i have old account intact.should i delete it.
since my free account is already established i dont want to delete it.is ther any other way?
thanks!
Google adsense will only earn you enough to pay your hosting services! Its better to get affiliates. Like neverbluads.
STUMBLED!
I release templates from my blog and have always included my adsense code for placeholding purposes, I will now be removing it as a pre-caution.
Thanks for the heads up.
great article really enjoyed reading
Got banned By Google? It’s a risk of PPC (Pay Per Click) programs. No One of blogger or web master without the same story at the past
Hi Jai,
This is really an inspiring article for all those innocent and honest webmasters who get banned due to silly mistakes. It also gives hopes that everything is not over once you are banned by adsense.
That there could still be a ray of hope for getting back into adsense.
Thanks for a great article
Your story makes me remember how I was asking to pay around $129 by godaddy just because someone has used one of my short url domain name services in spamming email.
Be honest and explain that i was not the bad guy save me for paying for something that i had not controlled.
In life you should be honest.
First, I got banned because of clicking my own ads. How foolish of me. I didn’t think Google is wiser than I thought.
Second, I made a new account with my boyfriend’s name and address, with another different URL used to apply in Adsense. After few days of being approved and earning, I got banned. I don’t know why. Their email wasn’t very clear.
So now my site is no longer displaying Google Ads.
its a good story. I think its worth for others member who already get ban from google to read this one.
Hey, it’s my first comment on your blog. Good post, Jai.. I really look forward to learn from you..
Thanks for the free themes.. I’m a fan of your free wordpress themes, use it on most of my blogs..
It’s never good to rely on just one income stream and I am now spending quite a bit of time checking out alternatives.
My favourite so far I’ve written about here:
http://homeworker-directory.com/blog/2008/07/16/sell-advertising-space-on-your-blog-with-bidvertiser/
I’m also playing around with a couple of other ideas.
Google earnings are good, but I want to reduce them down to about 20% of my earnings just in case. While I am happy with my account so far, I don’t want to risk being caught out in the future if something changes that’s either outside of my control or because they change their T&Cs
something for all you to read
blog.caethaver.com
I think this will help you alot with the research we put in all this.
I got ban 3-4 day ago. After I read some comment in this site, I see many people got ban and Google not give any confirm / reason why their ban.
I want to search other ads can add to my blog.
http://junshibuya.wordpress.com/
Really your words are fantastic thanx

I have had my account banned for some unknown reason. Is there a way i can get my account back?
I can only say that who ever use your code will be the most foolish people out there who even don’t know if they will use your code, they will not get any money instead you will be earning the cash in return.
Any how these foolish people also have hurt you, dont know who told these people to have a BLOG?
Nice tip! I was banned 3 yrs ago, now I’m playing safe with the Big G after being reinstated last year.

Adsense sucks, that’s the truth, they’ve closed my account without explaining anything it all, i asked them why and got no answer, and the more “interesting” part is that they’ve banned my account on payment day, how convenient to them. I had been warned by other bloggers that’s a very usual policy of google, they bann thousands of accounts just because, i think it’s a “legal” way of not paying and keeping thousands of dollars on their pockets, they’re thieves with power, so they use it. From me they will never earn another cent, i will never use adwords, when i want publicity i’ll use other companies. If i’m not good for adsense, then i’m not for adwords. And i’m spreading the word, i know it won’t hurt google much, but if i can take somebody away from them, i’m glad. I was warned that google steals, i didn’t listen. adsense is not worth it, they can’t be trusted
Hey Jai, honestly Google isn’t that nice to all their publishers.
I am sure you heard of Google calling up their previous publishers who moved over to Yahoo to come back to them. Google can be bias at times and only reply and give publishers who bring them tons of cash such as you the chance to open a 2nd account.
If you are only a small time publisher who makes only 3k a month from them, they wont even bother. Consider yourself lucky to be found on their goog books
I normally won’t use free templates because of many of them contain “hidden” links. It is advisable to scrutinise the codes for such links to undesirable sites. Links to the author’s site is alright but not to affiliate programs the guy is trying to get tons of incoming links.
Dear Jai,
Thanks on providing this information in such a collaborative and comprehensive way. It will help me a lot.
I am using one of your free templates on one of my free porn sites/blogs — hope I’m not one of the people who screwed you (I love the template, fyi). I’ve never used adsense because I’d rather make money on porn. Anyway, I appreciate the template a lot. Hoping to save up some $$ to get some customizations from you. Thanks again for the awesome WP theme!
Honesty is still the best way in any business.
hrm..i also gone through that hard time..it was pain as hell..
Alternatively, you can log into your Adsense account and click on the tab that allows you to list which sites are allowed to display your Adsense code.
If your code appears in a free theme, Adsense ads will still appear in those “unauthorized” sites, but the impressions and clicks will not be counted.
That’s one way of protecting your Adsense publisher code from being misused by other sites.
hmm.. a good lesson for everybody who already read your story..! never…ever… put your Adsense code to your free templates
Google banned me without any reasons, and without any warning email and i am not doing any thing or click on my adv.
I don’t know why, i send to him email but no answer they ignore my email .
hi,
thanks for you answer.
may i use “traffic exchange” to increase the traffic of my site with adsense in it? will google ban because of it?
sorry, if i ask too many questions, i don’t know where esle to ask.
thanks for you answer.
@Iwan:- No, Google doesn’t wait for the month to get over to ban you. That’s a myth. They can ban you anytime they want depending on when they find out about your little games
You get to know that you are banned through a nice e-mail from them.
hi,
thanks for the great article!
i just tried adsense starting from a couple days ago. and i will try not to get banned by google, your article helps me a lot.
how do we know that we get banned? and when usually it, does google always ban at the end of the month or it could be at any date?
thanks
Ugh… been there done that… When I first got into websites I got sucked into “traffic equalizer” it’s basically a PHP script that creates pages based upon a text file you upload and every keyword you put in that text file becomes a keyword happy page… yeah, it was dumb and it sucked. Haven’t had to worry about going back to Google thank goodness yet, but may have to here very soon since I’ve been using Yahoo (which pays 1,000 times better than Google who also loves to screw with how much you make per click) but who knows how that’ll go since yahoo sold out to Google with the ads stuff.
@adsense gempak:- I got banned today, after 3 years – not a clue why, and no explanation from Google other than fraudulent clicks.
I never click on my own ads, so I don’t know what the answer is. I average about $15 a month from Google adsense – if I was trying to defraud them I would be trying to get more than that.
Needless to say, adsense will be removed from all of my sites – to heck with them.
gud info for newbie like me…thanks a lot for this gud info!!!
google banned a group of friends who where using an account fraudulently… they clicked the banners indiscriminately…. it was fair from google to close the account…
@Marius Muscalu:-
Same is the case with me. I got banned by Google around 10 days back. And, I don’t even know what was my fault.
And, I am a guy who is so very particular to follow all rules.
So, I don’t care anymore as adsense is not a sustainable monetizing model, anyway.

hi jai,
glad you got back your account. I was surprise that Google quite lenienttowards your case.
All this time, I thiught when you get banned you will never see you money again.
After all, Google is human too hehhe
google adsense is getting weaker..
Ermmm sound it interesting for me to be careful about adsense code on other free template given to other. Nice info jai
Nice write-up Jai.
Google been kind enough to me to pay every month on my other blogs and i do not wish to be banned, like your case here. Hope no one gone crazy clicking the ads and i was blamed for that.
the only not kind thing from them is my PR4 been taken out ever since i monetized my post with paid link. Sad but true.
You also get banned if you use the same range of IPs to login to your Adsense account and Google detects that you also get clicks from those same IPs.
Next time limit your adsense code to only the sites you own, since this could be used by anyone else to harm you.
Thanks dude for the great article .
A great honest article there jai!
Things like these really helps us .
Thanx!
