Hey everyone, my Dad, Brother, & myself have all been using Google Adsense on our sites. All the sudden though Google bans my brother's account & takes all of his earnings back. Which was over $100. There was no warning or anything they just emailed him & say it could be for numerous reasons including, clicking your own ads, using an ad clicking program, or provoking someone to click your ads. Well he claims to have done none of this. I know he isn't lying niether. He was always high strung when he would show me somehting new on his sites & tell me NOT to click the ads. So I did not. Then less than a week later the same things happens to my father & they stated the same reasons & same exact email. So it is a generic email they use when banning people. My father was making about 30 bucks a day. He had right over $600 in his account, thye just took it. They both emailed them, but no reply. My father called Google, but to get through to the Adsense department you must know someone's name. So he has been calling asking for random names, no luck.

What would be the deal with this. I think it is nuts to not give someone a warning or at least not a generic email. After researching I see this has happened to many. In fact there is a site dedicated to this subject. Has this happened to any of ya'll? Any responses from Google? Or anything at all? Please chime in, if you have anything to reply.

I had the same sort of thing happen once, I never actually got an email saying I was banned, I was just unable to log in. When I emailed them they said it was because you cannot have 2 accounts... I didn't have to adsence account, but my adsence login was not the same as my analytics log in.. beats me... anyway.. I never found much I could do about it..

As for them just snatching accounts without warning, its in their TOC.. so yuppers they can.. and right now, they are the biggest and the best, so we have little choice but to let them get away with it... whereas with smaller programs, webmasters can create their own mini union type forums if you will.. and create change... I belong to a casino affiliate program forum that has made HUGE changes in this area.. if you're TOC isn't fair, it isn't listed.. etc..

google banned 5 accounts of mine . i.e. with different people name . bcoz of invalid clicks. infact I never did so .. but now they have money so I can not challenge them.They stole my 1000+ dollars.. not a good experience with google. Hope yahoo will enter very very soon

Google sounds like eBay. King of the world and no rules apply. I had all my eggs in one basket just on ebay and when they decided they didn't like me ... all over. Soo .. basically the question is .. where else can we go besides Google? As mentioned they are the biggest but who's second and third?

Google pays most & adsense is really good program but infact google steals money of people. Specially they like advertisers more than publishers. I heard yahoo does not terminates from YPN but pays only for valid clicks. Ver nice thing why not google use this feature. It seems always unsecure to do business with google ..

scammerhunter

yes, there's so much bad feedback about google here and other forums. I don't see that with ypn.

Well Google gets a bad rap due to their scale as well opposed to YPN. I would like to see after YPN comes out of beta what changes in terms of click fraud and bad rap. They will probably make changes if they look like they're not protecting the ad dollars coming in compared to Google and thus scaring potential advertisers. Yahoo's fraud prevention and payout system must install confidence for them to actually test Adsense on all fronts instead of an alternative.

I'm not saying Google is actually doing the right thing in my opinion. There should be a strike system and removal of suspect funds instead of just termination. Maybe even having a more steamlined appeal system to get publishers to have some confidence and keep advertisers.

Just my 2 cents.
