I have met several folks online in
chats, forums and social
networking sites shouting and
yelling at AdSense for disabling
their accounts otherwise called
banning. Many are angry and
furious at Google as it's
expected: you can't set my house
on fire and expect me to give
you a pat on the back, do you?
When the anger of being
banned is over, they become
sober once more and think up
what to do next. Before jumping
into a new online project, you
need to know exactly why or a
near guess of why your account
was disabled. Google doesn't
give any indication of that.
I decided to do a research on
why Google disabled those
accounts, not the common
reasons we read everyday. We're
talking about the "unknown"
and probably the real reason
accounts are banned. I
questioned about a hundred
people whose accounts have
been banned over a period of
time on what they think caused
the ban. A common thread I
found out was that they
presumed they've mistakenly
clicked on their ads hence the
ban. Most swear with their dog's
head they've never committed
any click fraud: their stories
pathetic and very believable.
Ok. Let's assume they did not
commit click fraud (read
Google's policy to see what
constitutes a click fraud); what
then would have made Google
so convinced that they've
contravened their policy? Since
no one is infallible, Google
hardly disables an account due
to mistaken clicks. They tend to
discern which clicks were
mistaken and the intentional
ones and you can equally report
yourself to them if you discover
you've mistakenly clicked on
your ads. I bet you won't be
penalized for doing that. I then
asked another group whose
accounts were disabled a
different question: which strategy
do you use in getting traffic to
your sites?
Again, I discovered a common
thread. 90 per cent of them
responded that they use mailing
lists in driving visitors to their
websites on a daily basis. This
means that the major source of
their AdSense traffic was through
the email inboxes; people must
read their emails, click on links
that will take them to their
websites. Could this be the
unknown reason? Is it stated in
the AdSense policy? Well I'm not
an expert in Google policies.
They write their policies which
change from time to time and
you have already been told to
be checking it often by no less
authority than Google itself!
Finally, I combined the two
groups and asked if they were
using "pay to get traffic and pay
to get hits" websites to drive
traffic to their websites to which
80 per cent responded in the
affirmative. Only about 17 per
cent use AdWords or do not
advertise at all.
Now, I refuse to make
conclusions based on the
research I did. The purpose is to
open your thinking as to possible
reasons your accounts were
banned, disabled or terminated.
Have a thorough look at your
marketing strategies (while
reading Google policy as if you're
life depends on it) and stop
immediately the ones that may
potentially bring a ban. Initiate
researches yourself, join online
forums and ask questions. You
never can tell, you yourself may
be the "unknown" reason
Google banned you.
