Thread: Have you been banned from AdSense?

Hi,

There was this discussion going on at a tweetup,

Have you been banned from AdSense? Why?

I have not.

We were actually discussing alternate networks. I'll be creating another thread on that.

Cheers!

Yes, I have been banned from AdSense. Someone click bombed my site, and they just were not ready to listen to me.

I used it and got banned. As for why, I'm not 100% sure.

There is apparently a way of getting around it, but it's a little tricky and a pain in the ***.

Yes, I have.
Now I have mainly shifted to CPM.

I'm not banned on Adsense and I'm happy about it. Adsense is mainstream income for a lot of website owners. Being banned Adsense is probably one of the biggest losses for owners..

There aren't alternatives like chitika.com, but there isn't an alternative that is as good as Google Adsense. Too bad otherwise a lot of us would have gone away already..

But just stick with the best, and don't do anything wrong

How much is your all time earning when you got banned? Someone said to me, you'll get banned when you earn around $80 - $90. Is that true?

Here's the conventional wisdom on this:

The minimum payout for AdSense is $100.

When your account reaches the payout threshold, Google looks at your account to make sure you're playing by the rules.

This may be true or it may not be true -- no one outside of Google really knows.

Yep, a couple times

Never. Just play by the Google rules and everything will be ok.

I was never banned
