Banned by Google?

Article Body:

So you've had your Google Adsense account banned?
 
We in that case you'll fall into one of the following 3 categories:

(1)	Your site has suffered from a sudden spike in traffic and Google has deemed it as fraudulent activity
 
(2)	Someone, known or unknown to you, has been causing fraudulent clicks on your website. Google has noticed this and blocked your account
 
(3)	Finally, and lets be honest here, you've have been clicking on your own ads. It's a temptation, I know, but you really should have been more careful.

The first indication you'll get that something is wrong will be when you try and login to your Adsense account and you can't, or when you get the following email known as a Google Adsense Account Suspension Notification

"It has come to our attention that invalid clicks have been generated on the Google ads on your site(s). We have therefore disabled your Google Adsense account."

If you fall into either category 2 or 3, then I'm afraid it could be bad news.

Category 1& 2

If you have genuinely been hit by a malicious attack and your account has been suspended then you could have a case for appeal with Google.

How to appeal to Google

Now this can be a tricky one but bear with me. In order to have the best chance of getting your Adsense account reinstated you will need to email 
 
adsense-adclicks@google.com

In your email make sure you contain the following information:

•	Your name
 
•	Your company's name (if applicable)
 
•	Your publisher ID number (located in the AdSense code on your website with the format: 'pub-################')
 
•	Your website's URL
 
•	Date your account was disabled
 
•	Your website's audience
 
•	The source of your website's content
 
•	Frequency of content updates
 
•	The primary sources of your website's traffic
 
•	The number of people involved with the administration of the site 
 
•	Any relevant information that you believe would explain the invalid click activity we detected

Remember to include as much detail as possible and ensure you mention that you've now taken steps to prevent this type of attack from occurring again. For example, if you believe that a particular person, or a certain IP address has targeted you, ban this address from your site.

Plead your case stating where and when you think these fraudulent clicks came from. Include logs of site traffic to show trends and also mention if there is any particular reason as to why your site may have suddenly rocketed up in hits when you usually have a steady daily click through.

Some reasons for sites suddenly having a huge number of hits maybe down to being included in a link from another site; being mentioned on TV / Radio, or running a successful ad campaign. You will be able to strengthen your case with evidence if you include facts and figures from the campaign to prove the increase in traffic to your site.

As with any appeal, there is no guarantee that you will have your account reinstated or be allowed to set up a new one.

Category 3

If you have been clicking on your own ads and been caught, it is highly likely that you will never be able to reinstate your current Google AdSense account or open a new one. Just accept that fact now and move on. Seriously, that's it, give it up, it's over! I've never EVER met or heard from someone that has had their account reinstated after being found guilty of fraudulent clicks on their own site. Checkout the article on Google Adsense alternatives, which can be found here:
 
http://www.theroundup.co.uk/forum/index.php?board=2.0

If you have had no luck in your appeal or you fall into category 3 the only way you would be able to get Google Adsense back is to reapply for a new account.

You will have to register for a completely new site with a new name and new banking details. Plus, you will not be able to use the same machine / Internet IP connection with which you accessed your original account. Google will know and your new account will also be banned. If you do manage to go ahead and get a family member, friend, dog to sign up for you, Google will ban you the second they suspect that your pulling a fast one. Don't forget, clicking on your own ads or getting others to do it, is illegal.

That's really all you can do. Be honest with yourself, if you've knowingly tried to con the system, then you don't deserve to be part of Google Adsense.

If however, you feel that you do have a genuine case for appeal, TheRoundUp wishes you the very best of luck!

Let us know how you get on, post the details on the forum.
