Google owes me money

[mikeandike22]

Google adsense sucks. I used to have a google adsense account and everything worked fine then they sent me an email saying that i had a clicking machine and that my acount would be disabled and i would not be paid for those clicks. I did not a clicking machine or a script that clicks ads. I tried to sign up agin under 3 different email adresses and 3 different urls each one was denined. Google adsense was not only the only way to make some money on my site quickly without anybody having to sign up for anything or pay me directly it was also a way to have google spiders sent to my site more often. Now i lost all that and i dont get paid for the clicks i have that my friends sucks. If someone out there works at google and reads this please help me out i have been blacklisted.

What exactly is google adsense?

[mikeandike22]

it is a program where google pays you to put the ads that they get paid for onto your website

When the AdSense program first started, they went crazy filtering people out of the program for fraudulent clicks. It's lightened up a bit since, but it's still something they take very seriously.

Usually, if they detect fraud clicks, they take no bullshit - you're out of the program for good. However, they are open to reasoning. If you very nicely and politely e-mail them back saying not only was it not you, but that you are willing to do all you can to help out and prove this (such as by providing server log files, etc.) then they may reconsider you. This has worked multiple times in the past.

Don't think that AdSense is a way to send Google spiders to your site more often, because that isn't the case. Mediapartners-google is the bot that AdSense sends, and it has absolutely no effect on your google rankings or google spidering for its search index.

Good luck!

yeah i am on my second reply to a google email. I sent an email when they denied my second account and then they sent one back explaining pretty much the same things you just told me, so now i sent them one replying. They said i had a script on my page that clicks the ads but i didn't the only script i have on my pages are rollovers.

[cscgal]

Were you ever able to get this sorted out with them?

[mikeandike22]

no and now they took away one of my gmail accounts(my main one) after i sent myself 50 invites. then it wouldnt let me login. When i click the forgot password link then it says that the account doesnt exist. then when i say to register the name it says that it does exist.

had problems with Google too, blacklisting.... lost enormous income when they kicked me out of their advertising program, but life is a struggle, u must accept and move on. there are other programs that pay good too.

the most stupid thing with Google, is that they pay peanuts their publishers, and keep 90% of the money paid by the advertisers. also they dont refund any advertiser whatever happens. Google is unfair, and obsessed with profit at any cost.

good luck!

[mikeandike22]

wat are some other good advertising programs that bring in good income.

[jackoamerica]

wat are some other good advertising programs that bring in good income.

search for contextual advertising programs on Google.

the biggest networks are ranked high on Alexa rankings (cf Amazon website).

they pay good since i know they are very expensive, i advertised with them...

good luck! :p

For the most part, nothing compares to Adsense in terms of ad variety, ctr and click rates. With that said you may want to try SearchFeed's service or Kanoodle's BrightAds. Brightads is very similar to adsense (but based off of Kanoodle's network which has less advertisers and lower rates for many terms); searchfeed's service is not really contextual as you pre-define your search terms.

As a general rule, while you may not be committing fraud, if you are doing things like signuing up under multiple names you will certainly be banned and if you cross a certain line, you may find yourself in court. Once you are terminated from a program you are no longer welcome to participate as per your original contract -- trying to sign up again is not exactly what they have in mind and not a good way to get back in. If you want back in you need to politely and professionally email Google, ask them what went wrong and how you can remedy the situation. If they don't respond positively send them a written letter requesting access to the program. That's how you do business.

I'm gona bitch about adsense too here..was gona make a new thread but figured this would be a better place..

My site gets an average of 15,000+ visitors PER DAY and i had adsense on my website for one month... I earned nearly $1,800 dollars in that month, and when it came to payment time they fucking removed my account because they said i had fraudelent clicked the adsense banner by putting a post on my forums saying that the banner was up and to click if you say a link you were interested in...

Now i have been re-accepted into the adsense program after emailing them a ungodly amount of times..

I have it in the footer advertising slot now and am getting quite a bit less..can't say specifics because of TOS obviously...but hopefully they willpay this month, seeing as i have yet to receive the magical pin number they were suppose to have sent me at the end of march..

Jesus adsense is so fucked up.

[jackoamerica]

all the big dot-com companies are, from Google Inc. to Ebay Inc. :twisted:

[mddv]

Well click fraud is very big these days.

So the reasons may have been that there were multiple clicks coming from a or several ip addresses or if there was a pattern when clicks were made.

Also can i ask what was your click through rate at your adsense account???

Well there are other programs out there so try them revenuepilot is good and also clicksor is ok.

Well good luck

i made about $XX per month from Adsense, and i have a X.X% CTR.

<< moderator edit: AdSense statistics removed to comply with Google TOS >>

[Ted S]

i made about $XX per month from Adsense, and i have a XXX% CTR.

Disclosing your CTR is against the adsense terms of service which you agreed to when you signed up. I recommend you remove this information from your post immediately.

[DanceInstructor]

You can only edit your post for an hour (i think) after you post it origionally. So to get it changed he will need to seek help from an mod or admin.

I signed up with adsense and had to wait four months for my PIN. That was because I live in New Zealand. They promised me the letter within two weeks, but I think they mailed it surface mail and that is real s l o w ! We have a branch in New Zealand. I can't understand why Google New Zealand didn't send me the PIN instead of me having to wait so long for it coming from the States?

[jackoamerica]

bla bla, some ppl even told BusinessWeek how much they earn.
TOS. u r funny...
how old are u? 5 years old? :lol:

newbie i guess, naive for sure.

[Ted S]

If you feel that upholding a contractual obligation is "naive" then you have clearly never been in a contract dispute. It is rather irrelevant what someone else told a magazine (especially when what they said was completely permissible), what matters is if you are breaking your contractual obligations or not. If you are (which publishing your CTR is) than you can have your account terminated and any pending funds withheld. You should be aware that Google allows you to disclose your earnings amount but not your CTR amount... it's always a good idea to read the agreements you bind yourself to.
