robot1: I know a lot of people will accuse me of being the cause of this misfortune but I assure you, I'm not. Before you judge me please carefully. I woke up this morning to find the most dreaded mail every adsense publisher never wants to see. The title of the mail reads Google AdSense Account Disabled. I clicked to open the mail and this was the message from Google;
Hello,
With our advertising programs we strive to create an online ecosystem that benefits publishers, advertisers, and users. For this reason we sometimes have to take action against accounts that show behavior towards users or advertisers that may negatively impact how the ecosystem is perceived. In your case, we have detected invalid activity on your AdSense account and as a result it has been disabled.
We are limited in the amount of information we can provide about your specific violation. We understand that you may want more information about your account activity. However, in order to protect our proprietary detection systems, we are unable to provide further details.
In some cases publishers can make significant changes to correct the violation and are willing to comply with the AdSense program policies. For this reason, we offer an appeal process as an opportunity to work with you to resolve the issue. Please be sure to provide a complete analysis of your traffic or other reasons that may have generated invalid activity in your appeal. Submit your appeal using this form and we will follow up accordingly. Before submission, please review the list of the top reasons for account closure.
Thanks for your understanding.
Sincerely,
The Google AdSense Team
This came as a shock cause to me cause I have never clicked on my ads or encourage any one to do that. I can confidently say this because only a few of my family members know I have a blog and most can't even use the internet while non of my friends knows my blog URL as I don't discuss my blog life with them. After reading the mail, I did a little research and got a more shocking news that only a few persons have ever recovered their account after it was disable. Right now I'm still trying to understand the reason for Googles action. I have heard of people complaining of this but I never believed it.
I thought about appealing so I click on the form link provided on the mail. Going through the form, I found out that the reason google gave for their action was invalid traffic. Again this is strange cause I have never paid or bought traffic from any where or even run paid or sponsored ad anywhere. My source of traffic has always been 75% from search engine 20% direct while the others 5% is from social platforms source as facebook, twitter and also a news search site based here in Nigeria. My account been disable has really affected me cause now I am thinking of taking the blog down. I have really put in a lot of hard work to grow this blog as it traffic currently is between 5000 - 6000 daily.
I pray this never happen to anyone. sorry about the loss. my advice is don't be down because Adsense disabled ur acct. buy Adsense and start again. |
