I don’t really know how to tell this story because I’m still wondering why myself. How can someone penalize you for no good and specific reason? Is that normal at all? Now, i know there might be some reasons but, can’t they just be as specific as possible? Google adsense account disabled? Its ridiculous.
OK, i know you might not understand what I’m talking about up till now so, let me explain. I was coming back from school some days ago and suddenly, my phone beeped and looking at it, i saw that i had a new email message. I don’t have the strength to read it then as i was very tired so, when i got home and opened my gmail account, what i saw left me speechless….. It said
I couldn’t believe my eyes because that was the last news i wanted to hear at that moment. So what did i do, i quickly turned off my phone and went to bed pretending that it never happened. When i woke up after 2 hours, i still went ahead and open the same email again and guess what, it wasn’t a nightmare.
At first, i didn’t border reading the whole story, i just saw the headline and went to bed, now i have to read it all at least, to see what i did wrong. The body of the message read….
After reading that, i was as confused as anyone of you would be if you were on my shoes. I quickly picked up my phone and started calling some of my friends including Babanature and Chadrack Irobogo. They were as confused and shocked as i was but unfortunately, they can’t do anything about it.
Why Did Google Disable my Adsense Account?
Now, i can’t really answer that question but, what i understood from that email and from what my friends told me is that, Google is accusing me of having invalid clicks on my ads. What this simply means is that, they believe that I/other people were clicking on my ad illegally.
If you read their adsense policy, you will see that they are against having any adsense publisher clicking on their own ad or persuading people to click on it by any way. But what that really baffles me the most is that i certainly did not do any of that. I understood their rules more than any other thing, and i know that they are very strict when it comes to enforcing them. So, why should i click on or encourage anyone to click on my adsense ad?
I just created my first niche site last month which I’m yet to write about here, and this thing happened now that my adsesne income has started rising. Although, I’ve not made that site public, so what could have triggered Google disabling my adsense account? Could it be that someone that’s visits my blog decided to click my ad several times at one visit which is also called click bombing, or could it be that it was spread over a longer period of time…or it was multiple people who did it at one time. Whether it was to screw me over or help me, I have no idea. I never noticed any invalid activity, so it never occurred to me.
Am i the Only One on This?
Nop, I’m not. While i was busy researching all over the internet to find out why my account was disabled and to know what i should do next, i realized that I’m not the only one Google has disabled his adsense account before. In fact, it seems they enjoy doing that because they does it all the time.
I noticed that they have also disabled adsense account of many people including the ones of people you already know and those you don’t know although, its not everyone that have the desire to write about it. Below is just a few of them…..
1. Gauher Chaudhry @gauherchaudhry.com
2. Zac Johnson @zacjohnson.com
3. Eric Gatti @my4hrworkweek.com
4. Gauher Chaudhry @gauherchaudhry.com
Those are the posts they published after their adsense account was disabled. So, i will also urge you to go ahead and read those posts because you’ll equally find them very interesting and educating as well.
Lesson Learnt…
We all know that every bad incidence also have some equivalent lesson that goes with it. The main lesson i learnt here is to never fully depend on Google for anything. Also, if you ask most of those people i just mentioned here, they will tell you to never have all your eggs in one basket because, if that basket should fall, all the eggs will brake at ones.
Its always good to have some alternatives of anything you’re doing because anything can happen anytime and when it does, you’ll already have sometime to hold on to.
What Next?
That’s the one question I’ve been expecting from you, how did you know? Just kidding. OK my friend Chadrack managed to write them an appeal on my behalf so, I’m still waiting for their response to see if they will re-approve my account and if they do, thank God. If they do not, life goes on. That’s why i still left the ads on this blog until they make their final decision.
As I’m waiting, i know that they are many other ways to make money from a blog and there are also many adsense alternatives out there which i will write about here on Monday so, I’m still researching. But, so far, my friend Babanature recommended Infolinks to me, I’ve already created an account with them. Let me see how they will do. Its very obvious that there is none to be compared to adsense out there but, When the desirable is not available, the available becomes desirable. Don’t you think so?
So, if you have any good alternative, i will like to know. The one i will not go for is Chitika because I’ve had some ugly experience with them in the past.
So, tell me…Have you had any issues with adsense before? Did Google also disable your own account? Please lets talk about it in the comment section so that we’ll all learn from your own experience.
It will also be very kind of you to share this post with your friends out there so that they will also benefit from it remember, there is love in sharing.
Koj T Tajo says
Hey Bro, I am feeling just as bad as you are. Hope for all the positives in their final decision and good to see your spirit. Let me know about the outcome. May whatever be, Keep on blogging always and Keep rocking with TBC. 🙂
Theodore Nwangene says
Thanks a lot Koj,
I really appreciate you coming and sharing my feeling, that makes you a friend. Sure, nothing will make me to leave TBC. Thanks
Oluwaseun Babajide says
Thanks for sharing this with us. I was disabled too with no valid reason. They seem to be sending the same email to everybody.
I have been using Chitika but with no good results. To be honest, I hate the look. I have found Kontera to be the best alternative. I am currently waiting for Kontera to activate my account.
Thanks.
Theodore Nwangene says
Thats always the case Babajide,
But there will always be a way out, thats what i believe. Thanks for coming
Nwosu Desmond says
Media.net is another alternative to Google adsense and if you receive a lot of US visitors then i will recommend it for you. But if you can provide your log to Google they will evaluate it and re-instate you i have heard of people being reinstated after being disabled.
Theodore Nwangene says
Hey Desmond,
Whats up? I’ve heard of Media.net from johnchow.com when i was starting. I applied for them as of then but they rejected me because of traffic issue. I will have to check them out again.
Thanks for coming bro.
Amrik Virdi says
Sad brother. I hope you will get your account back. Let me know If I can do anything for you.
~Amrik
Theodore Nwangene says
Thanks for the visit Amrik,
I will surely let you know if i need your assistance. Thanks.
Evan says
I think content really is the key! The better it is the more Google likes you, however it is always a lottery. You’ll never know until you try)
Theodore Nwangene says
Thanks Evan
pukatkamaal says
Yeah, One of my friends account has also blocked last week , He had lost almost 1000$.
I think It would not be a good practice to fully depend on Google Adsense only, always check out the other alternative.
Theodore Nwangene says
You’re right dear,
$1000 is quite a huge sum. I’m sorry for your friend. Thanks for coming.
Harleena Singh says
That’s not a good news, Theodore. I’m feel sorry.
About 3 years back when I started blogging, I created an adsense account. I was happy when I saw the ads on my blog for the first time, and by accident clicked on one ad while hovering my mouse over it. That’s it – my adsense account got banned the same day – before it even earned a dime for me. I soon got a new Adsense account using another email address. You too can try that and hope it works for you. 🙂
I recently heard of po(dot)st – that’s POST with a dot between O and S. They pay for the social media sharing; I haven’t used it, but no harm trying. All the best. 🙂
Theodore Nwangene says
I’m really sorry you’ve also had such experience before Harleena,
The good thing is that you were able to get another account though. I will have to try what you suggested. Thanks for coming and sharing my feeling dear.
Melisa says
Hello , Thanks so much for your views it’s great to see what other have to say. Thank you for taking the time to stop by my friend.
Theodore Nwangene says
Thanks Melisa,
I’m glad you also visited.
Enstine Muki says
Adsense is really top. I have not seen anything that rivals it. I’m not saying there isn’t.
I’m sure you can get back your account somehow. Fill the form they provided.
However, I’ll be glad to know is there is an option.
Theodore Nwangene says
They are the best Enstine,
And that’s why they are misbehaving. I really wish that another good alternative will come up as their matching competitor some day. Thanks for your concern man.
deco_slim says
That was the case of my first blog…
What ADSENSE are they, when all they do is CRAP That don’t Make SENSE
My advice to you is too sign up for media.net
They’re d best alternative
to CRAPSENSE
Theodore Nwangene says
Thanks Deco,
I will certainly do as you advised
Kia says
My blog is 2 month old. Please can i apply for adsense?
Chadrack says
Hi Theodore,
Good you brought this up. I really don’t know what is happening because in the past few months I’ve read many bloggers lamenting the closure of their adsense accounts and for all, no one really have a clue of what the problem was!
I’ve been using Google Adsense for about six years now and have never had any problem with them. I think Google is seeing more invalid clicks now than before and as they explained in the email, it is clear that they want to give more value to their advertisers. This is what is also making them push new SEO updates into the market every now and then.
For now, I advise that you wait and see what they will do. Possibly, you can also write them again if after some days they did not reply. This will let them know that you are truly sincere in what you are saying. Just giving up when they did not reply is like telling them that you know you are guilty!
However, if after you write them again there is still no reply, another option that is open to you is what Harleena mentioned, open another account using a different email. I can say I’ve used other alternatives but none of them can be compared with Google adsense. They simply control the market!
Wishing you luck with this.
deco_slim says
If he opens another account! Google will surely know…
Except he uses a different laptop entirely with diff Ip..
Just pray ur account get reinstate!.
Theodore Nwangene says
My appeal was rejected Deco,
I think i will have to use another account and laptop to open a different account as Harleena suggested. Thanks for coming
Theodore Nwangene says
They have already rejected my appeal Chadrack,
I think the only option left now is to simply go with what Harleena said. Thanks for sharing my feelings my man.
Kimsea says
Thanks chadrack! Reopen new account is great for any published who have invalid click because it not easy to get back. But now what is so bad that we will able to open new account with disable domain name.
Theodore Nwangene says
Thanks for responding to Chadrack Kimsea,
I’m still mapping out my plans on how to open another account.
Thelma Little says
I found this post from Bing. Thanks for sharing this
Theodore Nwangene says
Thanks Thelma
Siegfried says
hi Theodore!
I am sorry to hear that – one word of advice: from what I’ve heard you only get one chance to explain to adsense what happened and eventually fix it, so first try to find out any unusual activity on the account and then talk to them.
best regards!
Theodore Nwangene says
I’ve contacted them Siegfried,
And they’ve already rejected my appeal. I will see what i can do anyway. Thanks for your concern.
Michael Belk says
Theodore, that is one of the most honest stories I have read. I have never had my adsense account banned, but I am as confused to why this would happen.
I think they probably do this to people randomly.
i hope you get your account back up and running if not I hope you find something that works.
I do not know who you should try only if it happened to me I would focus more on affiliate income.
Good Luck.
Theodore Nwangene says
Yea Mike,
I will be focusing more on affiliate right now while checking out for other adsense alternatives. No problem, your comment and concern are already ok for me.
Thanks for sharing my pain bro. Its well
JamesW says
Welcome to the club Theodore, you’re not the only one that Adsense banned without any reason and explanation. I’m really sorry to hear these news, but now your real blogging life begins. I think that there are much better programs from adsense.
And you can make much more money and knowledge without it.
I can recommend you media.net, I use them and they are paying much more than adsense.
Don’t worry about it too much and keep up the good work. 🙂
Theodore Nwangene says
Welcome James,
I’ve also heard of media.net before but has not really used them. I guess its time i give them a shot. Thanks for your concern bro.
Emmanuel says
Hi Theodore,
Never worry, if you desperately need an adsense account you visit my blog and search for these ‘how to get a new adsense account even after being banned’ or look for ‘where to get an adsense account within 2 days’ or maybe you need alternatives then I guess ‘Biggest list of adsense alternative’ will do. All my blog.
Theodore Nwangene says
Yea man,
I’ve read that. Will go for you advice as soon as possible. Thanks a lot
Adrienne says
Sorry to hear about this Theodore so now you know how it feels just like I recently got slapped without any explanation whatsoever and I feel like I haven’t done anything wrong. I mean if I have then let me know what so I can fix it but to do that just because, that really ticks me off.
I’ve never had my account disabled but I don’t really use it much anymore. I never really made much money with it and I really preferred that people stayed on my site and clicked on the money making ads instead of the penny ones. That worked out really well for me in the long run.
That’s great that Chadrack was able to write something on your behalf so I guess it’s not a waiting game. I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you.
Good luck!
~Adrienne
Theodore Nwangene says
Thanks Adrienne,
Its really very bad when someone will just come up and slap you without any reason. That’s what Google just did to me. But its well. I’m working on something now.
Thanks.
Sergio Felix says
Hey Theodore, I wish I had a little bit more experience with PPC platforms to advice but I don’t.
The only thing I can tell you is that the lesson here is indeed, don’t put all your eggs in one basket.
Be strong and adapt fast and solid my friend, just look out for a PPC network that gives you what you need and move on, the sooner the better!
Sergio
Theodore Nwangene says
Thats right Sergio,
I’m moving on for sure. Thanks for your concern my man. How is your membership site going? Have a nice day man.
Oscar says
Really Pathetic. I guess you come up with better Revenue ideas for yourself.
Theodore Nwangene says
Thanks Oscar,
Yea, I’m working on something now. Thanks.
Koj T Tajo says
Hey Bro, I have read somewhere that your blog has been hacked. Are you aware of it. and what is the reality? Just feeling bad about that too. ;(. Does that has anything to do with Adsense or….
Let us know quickly bro.
Theodore Nwangene says
Thanks Koj,
My blog was hacked and i has nothing to do with adsense. I’m still trying to fix so many things on the blog. Thanks for your concern
Babanature says
Hello Theodore,
Adsense has an alternative that makes even more money and high percentage. infolinks is the best and advisable alternative. i made far more than what i make with adsense and their customer care really do reply to need 😀 . Adsense also got my account suspended but they have re-enabled it back. now i am using both ads on my blog. Infolinks rocks bro
Theodore Nwangene says
Thanks for that Info man,
I’ve created an account with infolinks and so far, i haven’t received anything from them yet, still keeping my fingers crossed.
Thanks for coming.
VISHAL VERMA says
I still hav’nt received any info on my appeal.. Right Now I am using Yahoo Media Net ads…They are also Good
Theodore Nwangene says
Ok Vishal,
Yahoo.net might be a good alternative, lets wait and see.
Thanks.
Shan says
Hello Theodore,
Well almost everyone in there blogging career face this. So it is common now. If you visit digital forum and click on adsense tab , i am sure u will find one such case. I was also banned for no valid reason in 2011. After that ,i never used adsense anymore instead i tried to sell adspace in my site and it is doing quite well for me. So everyone should try banner selling , its a great way to make money from your blog.
Thanks & Regards
Shan
Theodore Nwangene says
Its really incredible man,
I’m happy you were able to find another good way of making some dough with your blog. That’s a also another great point. But, how do the advertisers get to you? Or do you normally reach out to them yourself? I will like to know please.
Thanks a lot for visiting my site man, really appreciate and hope you’ll come again.
Shan says
Hi,
Sorry of late reply . I actually use BUYSELLADS for selling ad space ,also i try to get potential advertiser from popular forum like digitalpoint.com ,warrior forum etc. Give it a try. I am sure you will not get disappointed.
Regards
Shan
Theodore Nwangene says
Thanks a lot Shan,
I will surely give it a shot.
Mark Trueman says
Hey Theodore,
Sorry to hear that man. That really sucks.
I originally started off online with a Adsense based gaming site that was making me quite a bit of money and out of no where my Adsense was disabled.There are ways to get around this and still use Adsense but I no longer depend on Adsense because its just not reliable. They can take it down and give you no reason.
I think the best alternative is not some other form of ads but rather to sell some product of your own.
– Mark T.
Theodore Nwangene says
So sorry to hear that you’ve also had same experience Mark,
Oh yes, i quite agree with you. Selling ones product is really the best and can’t be compared to any other thing. That’s also what I’m thinking about. Thanks a lot for reminding me that my man.
We must make it with or without adsense. Here is to your success.
Daniel says
I think you should post on daily basis only if you have the time otherwise, thrice a week is a good option, but htat would make search engines visit n crawl your blog less softer.
Theodore Nwangene says
I understood what you meant Dan,
I think the best thing is to know what you can do and then stick to it, if you can post on daily basis and can keep on with it then, its not a bad idea.
But is not for us that has more than one blog.
Thanks for visiting my blog Dan.
Saanvi says
I have heard so many stories about adsense accounts that has been disabled and I think there were only few who has been reinstate. And i think it will be very easy to get back your account when you know that you did not violate any policies and when you know the ways.
Theodore Nwangene says
You’re right Saanvi,
I’ve also heard much about it but never know how it felt until i became a victim. Its really very tough to get a disabled account back. Thanks for sharing your awesome opinion dear.
Kapil Jekishan says
Hey Theodore, I’m also fresh off a Google Adsense ban and no idea why. I suppose there are serial offenders who might sabotage your site by overclicking on your ads or Google just deciding to pull the plug on you because they can. I used it as a good wake up call to diversify your income streams so instances like these don’t bring you back to ground zero. I wish you well in getting things back up and running via alternative sources – it’s the best way to mitigate your risk. Good luck!
Theodore Nwangene says
Hi Kapil,
I’m so sorry to hear that you’ve also been a victim of their injustice. At least, you used the experience to your advantage by diversifying your income stream. I know we can get over it man.
Thanks for visiting my site.
Shashank Bhattarai says
Google Disables our account sometimes without any cause. We always have large number of traffic and it is difficult to found an fraud clicker amount plenty of clicks. The best thing is to block the country from where it is being invalid clicks.
Theodore Nwangene says
Welcome to my blog Shashank,
And thanks a lot for that additional suggestion. I will also look into that. Thanks for the visit, hoping to see you again.
Mubashir says
Sad feelings for Adsense. Dear I suggest you to check Bidvertiser.
Theodore Nwangene says
Thanks Mubashir,
I haven’t heard of Bidvertiser before, i will look at them. Thanks for the suggestion man.
Kimsea says
Thank mubashir! I just getting same email to Theodore Nwangene. Now finding some solution and alternative. That great to hear from you! Theodore Nwangene, I so sorry to hear…
Theodore Nwangene says
Hi Kimsea,
Thanks for your concern, I’m so happy that you participated in the community. Thanks a lot also for visiting my blog.
Chris says
Great post, yes I was also disabled for same reason, I had my fitness blog and YouTube account under same Adsense account and guess what bamm both were disabled now my money that was coming in from YouTube bamm gone, now I’m doing infolinks on my fitness blog, but I’ve heard you can sign back up for google Adsense under your company business name, but first you have to start a business and have a business checking account linked up. That’s what I’m doing for my new BMW niche site. I’m going to start a LLC. Wish me luck
Theodore Nwangene says
Very sorry to hear that Google has also treated you that way before man,
Its really incredible the way they take their own decision but, we can always forge ahead.
I’m also going to register another account soon with them. Thanks for visiting my blog Chris, hope you’ll come again.
Moin Ramiz says
did you filed an appeal? lot of people recovered their accounts after appeal.
Theodore Nwangene says
Yes Moin,
I did filled an appeal and rejected it so, i backing off for now.
Thanks for coming.
Farhan says
Thats Sad, Try media.net i heard they are pretty good 🙂
Theodore Nwangene says
Thanks for recommendation Farhan,
I will check them out.
Temilola Globalwalyy says
Hello Pal
Am so sorry about your ugly experience with Google adsense…
The fact that no other ads network can compete with them,, make them to be rude..
You are even lucky u are banned for invalid clicks, my case long ago, i was banned with reason unknow…. But am sure you will get your account back…
Any other alternative? Yes you can try out Media.net, chitika?? I wont go for that, there ads look ugly to my liking…..
Am Glad to see you back……
Theodore Nwangene says
Hi Tami,
Thanks a lot for those kind words of yours, I’m sorry i replied late though, I’ve been very busy. I will have to apply for another account, thanks for coming.
Harkunwar Singh Kochar says
This was very sad. Hope mine is not disabled on my new site. The older one is already banned.
Theodore Nwangene says
Hi Mr Singh,
Welcome to my blog, I was very sad indeed and you can say that again. You have to be careful with yours. Thanks for the visit, hope to see you again.
Tarun says
Adsense also permanently disabled me from their services. Now I am using Chitika mega ads, which are making me $2 to $3 for every 1 k views. It’s not a joke, try the mega ad blocks in above and below of the fold.
Theodore Nwangene says
Thanks Tarun,
I’m sorry to hear that they also banned you. I’ve also tried Chitika before but, i don’t really like them at all. Thanks for coming, hope you’ll come again.
justin says
That’s weird how many of you get banned for invalid click. I had some invalid clicks before when my idiot friend click on 2 ads and closing it right away…I just didn’t get paid for those clicks. I also accidentally clicked on them a couple of times. Not anymore though. Also my friend accidentally clicked on his about 7 time per day, Google sent him an email saying “please don’t click on your ads” message. I guess he was lucky.
Theodore Nwangene says
Hi Justin,
I think Google was very fair to your friend indeed because they’re suppose to get his account disabled but, in my own case, I’ve never clicked on my ads since i created it, that is one of those things I’m always very careful with.
Now, what i don’t know is why they disabled my account, i think someone somewhere might have done the click bombing but, the main thing now is that i have my account back.
Thanks a lot for your concern my friend and have a blessed weekend.
well-wisher says
I really sad about what happened to you and same was happened to me. I still could see Adsense ads in your blog from my page… i also receiving hits from other countries even google disabled my account !!! Google will never answer what was actual problem… Terms and Conditions is written to never pay you… it is not supporting you and always beneficial to them… Who knows the clicks sent from your blog paid back to them???
Theodore Nwangene says
Thanks for your concern Well Wisher,
I really appreciate that and i hope you’ll visit my blog again.

Cantel says
Hello Theodore,
I’m sorry to hear about your incident. Did you try to contact Google to carry out an investigation or at least provide you detail the date and time that the invalid click occur? I know Google can shut down anyone’s account but at least be fare for you if you didn’t do anything wrong. I think this is an example to remind everyone has to be extra careful not to make any break any rule. I’m new to Adsense and I actually did accidentally clicked on my ads several times at the beginning. I was so freak out and regret of what I did even though it was purposely. So I was thinking to contact Google right away to explain the incident but just didn’t know how to. Then the next date, Google sent me email to “lecture” me not to click on my own ads. So I did modified my ads position and I didn’t got any mistake after that. Well, all I really hope is that you will be eligible to open another Adsense account soon.
Best Regards,
Cantel

Great article with good description. Thanks a lot for writing this post.
Shirish Dhungel says
Google spitted in my face too.
When I earned about 900 bucks, suddenly it was blocked.
Want to get it back.
Shruti says
So Sorry, me too…. I wonder if i get back my adsense account.
Theodore Nwangene says
Its ok Shruti,
I pray you gets it back
fashionguy says
same here bro…google account disabled with no reason at all… seems like its a random thing for them no response from them after I emailed them
Theodore Nwangene says
I’m sorry to hear that you also had same experience man, i pray they responds to your email. Thanks a lot for the visit.
Jonah says
Hi Theodore, really understand how you feel now your account has been disabled. You can try adclickmedia or media.net. They are perform just like adsense.
Theodore Nwangene says
Thanks for your concern and the suggestion Jonah,
I was actually able to get my adsense account back after i wrote them an appeal. Thanks a lot for taking the time to visit my blog, hope to have you here again :).
free online advertising websites says
If they have a user forum, go to it and register there first.
I make cash every one of these sites while enjoying myself and
having fun. many web sites usually are not paying for that work you did.
Theodore Nwangene says
Thanks
Aman Bansal says
Hello Nwangene,
I had also got the issue with my adsense account. I was in an important conference, hence there I wasn’t able to check my account at a particular time. As I reached to my home and open the adsense account, it says me “The account has been disabled for this e-mail id”.
I was like anything to ask the team of adsense why they did so. Same scenario was with me as you had. We can’t do anything about this. Filters must be there and I hope in future developers will help adsense earners a lot to make money. 🙂
Theodore Nwangene says
Its a pity Aman,
Its bad the way adsense takes such decisions but, I’m happy there are lots of alternatives out there today. Lets not just put all our eggs in one basket in case of any uncertainty.
Thanks for the visit 🙂
Martin Kuppe says
The same happened to me some months ago. (I don’t have a website, I used AdSense only for my Youtube channel.)
I filed two appeals but without success. I still don’t know what I suppodedly did wrong.
Here’s a video I did about the incident : http://youtu.be/SADDJY7e7cM
Theodore Nwangene says
So sorry to hear that Martin,
The sad part of it that they will not tell you exactly what you did wrong. Just try and pick up some other alternatives and move on friend. Life goes on.
Thanks for stopping by and please, do visit us again 🙂
Miguel says
Hello, I arrived to this interesting post and noticed that you finally got your adsense account back because you have an adsense block on sidebar. Maybe is a new account? How did you do it??? Please, share.
Theodore Nwangene says
Its no big deal Miguel,
I only wrote then an appeal and they rejected it initially and later reinstated my account, it was just like a magic :), thanks for coming.
seggy says
this this nice to know about such things about google adsense,but its possible to do enable my disable adsense account?
Theodore Nwangene says
Thanks Seggy

Theodore – Sorry to hear about your AdSense woes. Unfortunately in the end Google doesn’t even really know why they banned your account. They take too many automatic measures and depend on them for click fraud and the like instead of just ignoring the “click bomber” and moving on.
I’ve had it happen once or twice, but luckily for me I was able to get through it! Hope the appeal works out!
Theodore Nwangene says
Thanks and welcome to my site Jason,
Yea, Goodle can be too quick to judge sometimes. Though, i finally got back the account 🙂

So sad about this bro, i really hope that that adsense never banned your account again, most times, when we receive such messages, it’ just makes one weak, Thank God you’re over it by now.

If you are like me and want revenge try the following, first use bidvertiser and chitika and switch your search engine to yahoo. It is google’s fault for not even giving a decent warning…

This is one of the saddest news!
But i can see adsense running on this blog?
Theodore Nwangene says
You are right man,
I wrote this post immediately my Adsense was disabled but, I was later re-instated after some weeks. Thanks for your concern.

This is really bad news to hear. 🙁
As a new blogger, it creates more worry for me to approve adsense.

I think content really is the key! The better it is the more Google likes you, however it is always a lottery. You’ll never know until you try)
Duru Freeman says
Theo sorry you should prove to google adsense that you didn’t click your ads your self. I love your blog writeup… if I may ask how old is this blog?
Daisy says
Hello Theodore, you’ve greatly placed your experience here. I’m sure everyone is going to learn some lesson from this Google’s action over your adsense account.
Regards,
Daisy

that is sad to hear, it is hard to get an adsense and getting it banned for no reason leaves anyone in a terrible state.
