“My Google Adsense account is disabled. What should I do?” This is an email I recently received from one of the members in my Adsense membership program.
Frankly, this email is a wake up call to me. I’ve heard of people’s account got disabled, but I haven’t had any close friend whose account has been disabled.
The reason why her account is disabled is unknown. She didn’t click her own ads. The only possibility, she confessed, is that one of her neglected blogs posted junk info. But the site receives practically no traffic and zero click through. Does that justify an account suspension?
Ignorance can cause your Adsense account disabled
We know the general rule of Adsense. Basically, an Adsense website should be content rich and provide values to the visitors. This is the rule that I’ve been playing with all this while and I believe I’m pretty safe.
But after hearing this sad news, I start to think if there is anything else I need to be cautious about. It is possible that your ignorance (or should I say negligence) may cause your Adsense account disabled.
Here are some of the issues I can think of:
1) Do you have a ‘forgotten’ junk site with your Adsense ad in it?
It could be a Blogger blog that you created years ago. You probably followed the advice of some “black hat” marketers to auto-post junk info into the blog and profit from Adsense. This is a time bomb. Make sure that you remove those ads now.
2) Have you been sabotaged?
Google says that you can’t click your own ad or ask other people to click on your ad. This means if you offended me, I can sabotage you by going to your Adsense website and mass-click your ads until your Adsense account is suspended!
Is it possible? One word, yes!
This is stupid, I know, but it can happen. Here’s what Google say about how to prevent sabotage.
As you can see, the answer they give is just a diplomatic answer. It just tell you one thing, that is, you can be sabotaged.
If you have hundreds of websites, how on earth are you going to monitor each of the traffic log for suspicious activity?
If your website is suspended due to fraudulent clicks, do you think Google will believe you that someone actually sabotage you? Or they will think you actually get someone to inflate the clicks so as to help you earn more money?
I have yet to have a solution to this problem. All I can say is if you ever experience the following scenarios, report to Google immediately. If you file a report with them before they catch you, you are in a better position to prove to them that you’ve been sabotaged.
The scenarios include:
– You experience an extremely high CTR.
If you have a CTR of 500%, it means for every page loaded from your website, a visitor actually clicks 5 ads. This is an obvious sign that you’ve been sabotaged.
– You experience a sudden surge in your Adsense income on a particular website.
There is no absolute amount for the surge. If your website has been earning $1 a day and suddenly it increases to $10 and you didn’t do anything special, you probably want to check out the traffic log and report to Google if necessary.
3) Is your advertising media reliable?
If you advertise your Adsense website, be sure that you know the source of the traffic and that the advertising media is reliable.
For example, you may go to a forum or Ebay to buy 100000 visitors and you drive the traffic to your Adsense website. Many of these cheap traffic services actually use pop-under technology and if Google happens to know it, you are in deep soup.
Talking about advertising media, please do not advertise your Adsense websites on LeadsLeap.com. It’s for your own good. Although LeadsLeap is not a click-exchange program, it does have some elements of click-exchange. Click-exchange traffic is forbidden for Adsense. To play safe, I wouldn’t advertise my Adsense website via LeadsLeap. Frankly, you won’t get much click-through anyway. Instead, those ad will make your ad look unprofessional. I never put Adsense ads in my squeeze page or sales page.
4) Are you keeping up-to-date with Google policy?
Google may change their Adsense policy from time to time. Things that you do today may be violating their rules tomorrow.
For example, in 2006, all the gurus asked you to put a picture beside your Adsense ad to boost click through. But in 2007, Google added to its policy that images are not allowed alongside Adsense ads.
If you have any website built in 2006 with images beside the ads, be sure that you’ve removed those images by now.
5) Do you have other self-feeding ads on your website?
Besides Adsense ads, you may insert other advertising feeds such as those that automatically generate a list of items sold at Amazon or Ebay, or you may sell text links on your website. This is usually not much of a problem if the program that you use is reliable. But some advertising or link selling programs allow adult contents and if you are not careful, you may end up having porn ads on your website!
What should I do if my account is disabled?
If your account is already disabled, you can’t register another Adsense account using your name. However, there are 2 alternatives I can think of:
1) Open another account under a business entity.
You can set up a business entity and register another Adsense account. The advantage is you are still in full control of your Adsense account. The disadvantage is you will have to open a business account with your local bank in order to bank in the money. Depending on the bank, a substantial minimum deposit may be necessary. In Singapore, it’s $10k.
2) Use your relative’s account.
You can open another account under your spouse’s name or someone you trust. The disadvantage is the cheque will be issued to another person’s name and you have to treat that person well or…..
In both options, the best is to use a different mailing address. If it’s under the same mailing address, Google will pay special attention to the activity in that account.
Actually, not all are lost.
Once you have another account, you can put the id back to your existing sites. Your account may have been banned, but your site has not. But this time, make sure you do things right. Also, make sure that you do not put it on sites that violate Google policy or you’ll risk your account being banned again.
Some final words……
Last but not least, I want to say that I still love Google Adsense. The income is 100% passive. There is no need to handle any customer support or do any updating work for changes in affiliate programs. As long as you keep your hat ‘white’ and don’t make ignorant mistakes like those I’ve suggested above, you shouldn’t worry too much about having your Google Adsense account disabled.
This is great advice! When I first started serving adsense ads I wondered if I could be in jeopardy of losing my account. I kept hearing about people losing their accounts because of the reasons you talk about in this post. So, I chose to educate myself on adsense so the inevitable would not happen. Those interested in learning more about Adsense can also get lots of great info at Google’s Adsense Blog: http://adsense.blogspot.com/
do you make money with google adsense i just a little new at this and i do want to sign up with google adsense ok that all
Yes,Debbie you can make some money from Googles’ Adsense Program. It can be through signing up and allowing adsense ads to be placed on one or more of your blog pages,
I have been a free member of dada.net for sometime now and signed up to their Friend$ program which works around the Google Adsense program,have had some fairly good results and you don’t even need to go into your Google account to check any Adsense earnings,you can do it right there on your own Dada.net homepage.
I hope this information will help you get started in the right direction.
Thanks for the updates on the adsence google tools. Have fun weekend members!!
Great advise. It takes a while to get these stuff figured out by yourself. Your blog is to the point and filled with great tips. Thanx
Does anyone know of a good alternative to Google adsense?
Thanks
Mike
I got banned 2 years age…I’ve tried all of the suggestions there are without any success. I’ve learned to live without adsense very well.

THanks for all the advise. I’m really new to adsense, so it came at the right time.
Great article. Yep, I’ve been suspended from Google Adsense from nigh over a year now and haven’t bothered retrying to open another one after my appeal to Google (as usual) failed. I blame an image ad on an areea that was prone to Traffic Exchanges (after quickly deleting (almost) all the Adsense ads subject to TEs), but I was never told (as usual) what or where the offence took place. I just may take up your suggestion to reapply under another name & email address.
I use alternative such as DailyPay Day, Adsverts,Imgads etc which are paid for action only.

Thanks for the information about google adsense. I’ve put together about 60 websites with probably 500 or so links.
Can anyone tell me how many sites that I can use adsense codes on?
Here is another program similar to adsense.

I have a few sites on it also.
Thanks for the info.

I was disabled from Google Adsense three months ago. My mistake was that I got Adsense account nomber which i missed to note, meanwhile I applied from other email address also.So I was informed by Adsense to shut one of the the two accounts. I did but meanwhile I was disabled.
Anyway your keen interest into my problem has guided me genuinely. I convey my hearty thanks.
I find a close friend in YOU.
Thanks!!
Thanks Kenneth! I have all of the stuff to start my Adsense Program; just haven’t had the time/quiet-time to set it up.
I’m glad to know this stuff before I even get started.
Thanks so much for your advice! I got my adsense account banned before, and I would say it was a huge blow to me. Nowadays, try using other advertising medium such as Adbrite.
I am using adsense on my blog.But,I think that I have earned some money from fraud clicks.It can be false also.But, I am not sure.Will I inform it to google adsense center?Please help me!
To play it safe, you can always report to Google about your experience. But if the amount is negligible, you can just ignore it.
Very useful for me as I have an adsense account and wasnt able to makeout anything from the google pages giving any hints.
If Google disables an Adsense acct., it’s probably due to the fact that for as much money as they’re making on it, they still-have their business-related costs to contend with. It costs money to provide the bandwidth able to support massive linkages to their ad rotator and every little bit that they feel is justified to keep their program making money is to be expected to be adjusted in order for them to stay competitive and be able to offer all the options that their users have come to rely on and give them the traffic that they need to sustain the program and stay competitive with their (limited) competition. The best thing for anyone to do is to brush up on their Adsense theory/practice. If you REALLY want to make the money from the affiliate program (and, yes, you’re all Google affiliates), you’re going to have to study up on what works and what doesn’t. One piece of advice – forum postings. I’m sure a fair amount of you are forum attendees of some sort. Make sure you review your forum memberships and see which ones offer Adsense Revenue Sharing as a forum policy,
so that way whenever you start a new thread, the clickthrough traffic is accord to your account. I’ll just leave you with this to help you formulate attack plans for this problem (for anyone who previously didn’t have this);

Even if your Adsense account is disabled , you can easily make more than $1000 per month using other ad networks. I have listed some of these options at http://extraemoney.com
My personal Adsense account has been disabled. Besides, in my personal account i had the business name filled out in my profile.
Do you recommend me to open a new business account with my business name (the one i told google before) or try to do a new different one?
regards.
Great that’s a whole lot of help.
i once had mine disabled but i have registered for a new account.
My account was banned one month ago, and it took Google about 1 month to sentence me for permanent closure of my Adsense account. Although my blog site is not making money at all, it’s only a beginning for me to work on more productive ways to make my blog profitable. It’s a big blow to me. I have been researching for alternatives, but I am not able to sign up AdBrite or other similar, because I am non-US resident, and there is no Tax ID for me. Anyone can give me a clearer direction?
Hi altislo this is mani. my adsense account was also disabled. but now i will make myself to blog and earn money without adsense. yes, i tried adbrite,bidvertizer and more affiliates. for more details visit my Techinfocus blog

Issues with adsense. :) You will see in his article how he is being ignored by google until he sued them.
I think your advice is very helpful and it’s very important to pay attention to the policy, otherwise one can get into trouble.
I too suspect that may have been sabotaged a few times, but I don’t know how to check the traffic to be sure about it. Hopefully, Google has better ways of dealing with this.
Thank you for your advice,I have tried to opened account at Google but my account rejected ,I can open new account after 6 month . please give me some advice…

All,
Stay AWAY FROM ADSENSE DEALER! This guy RENTS other people’s Adsense Publisher ID’s.This is how this RIP-OFF goes:
1.They get friends or family members to sign up for Adsense.
2. Publisher ID is assigned
3. People like Adsense Dealer rent the ID to others, he takes a cut and whomever signed up for the account (but doesn’t use it) gets a cut.
Google is DEAD SERIOUS and is now putting lawsuits on ADWORDS Scammers.India may be a little out of their LEGAL REACH or not woth the time and expense, but IF you live in North America..DON’T do this..IF you need a REAL SOLUTION…contact me at

Folks,
You should be appreciative that you got disabled by google. Adsense is tacky and reminds visitors of the guy on the corner in a trench coat selling fake watches.
Adsense also tells your visitors that you have nothing substantial to offer them in the way of product, information, or otherwise so you instead went and put up a bunch of advertisements.
Take my advice, Adsense is a joke and the only ones profiting substantially are Google and the advertisers.
thank you for useful information about adsense.it will help me to save my account from get lost

Hello, I have read an article or blog regarding invalid clicks in Adsense. How true is it that publishers will not be given any details on any invalid clicks made on their account? Doesn’t that pose significant threats to publishers since it would basically mean that they can get screwed at any time?
Quote: “Once your account has been disabled for invalid clicks, Adsense will not provide you with information regarding this issue”
Google Adsense Pros and Cons
I am very much interested in Adsense right now but I also find it a littly scary so I’m trying to gather as much information as I can before trying to apply.
I just found out my Google Adsense was disabled when I went in ot check how much I made, yesterday. No email ‘warning’, nothing, just a statement that my account had been disabled. Shocking. I am dumbfounded by this, and it turns out, you get NO information of why you have been disabled, AND you lose any money you’ve made – is outrageous. GoDaddy happened to go down, today, from being hacked, so I thought the two things were connected, and when GoDaddy went back up, my Google Adsense would kick back in, too, but it didn’t, and I’ve had Google Adsense on my site since 2002. Just shocking. I think I at least deserve a reason, and I immediately wrote an appeal, this morning, and tonight they confirmed that I will be permanently disabled. What to do, now?? I guess I’ll look into the alternative affiliate programs… but up until today, Google Adsense was my best bet, now I just am in complete shock about the whole thing.

Nice article.
Google can suspend Adsense account without providing any reason. Mostly Google says that the publisher is not valuable to the Adsense (in such a case).
I have seen that in some cases if your clicks are comming from the same range of IP addresses, then Google disables your Adsense account! e.g. people sitting at your company/office click on your Adsense ads.
However there are ways to get back your Adsense account fairly quickly. It is not necessary to have a website or a blog in advance of applying for an Adsense account :)
Could you please explain your comment, “there are ways to get back your Adsense account fairly quickly.” All of those who read this thread would certainly appreciate some guidance in this area.
Hello,
My account was disable. And I had been thinking in opening a new one with my husband information. My only question is:
Google can track your IP?
If in the past I was using my computer and they disable my account. Now I create a new one but using the same IP?
Would it work out?
I really appreciate your help!
Thanks!
hi please help me ,my adsense account is disabled due to copy right materail issue just one day before check dispatching date, i think its not true ..I have 500$ in my adsense account ..please help me how to get back my money and how much time google takes to reply to an appeal .
My adsense was recently suspended, and I’m trying to find out if there is any way to get it reinstated. I made quite a bit of money off my ads. Google tells me that they will not give me any more information other than there were invalid clicks on my site. I have no idea when these occurred or how. I know the rules and never click on my ads. So, don’t think it can’t happen to you if you do all the right things. Since my site comes up #1 on search engines, I suspect it is sabotage by some type competitor, but if Adsense will not communicate with me about it, there is no way to find out. Now I’m trying to figure out if other advertising groups will work for my site.

My adsense account has been suspended. I want to make a new account and put it in my same site. Is it possible or will google disapprove my new account again?
I purchased 2 sites recently from a gentleman who claimed I could make 300 gross per month from each site if I paid $99 service fee to include hosting, content changes, but most importantly driving traffic
There was a two day trial to see how they performed (which they did) I then paid for the sites and the domains were transferred to me. Then for a few days the sites were earning as he had promised.
Then I tried to log in and BAM….your account has been disabled
I got two emails from google saying they were disabled, and I really have no idea why. I believe it was due to quality issues.
The guy i purchased the sites from said he is working on it, but I highly dought it.
Can someone look at my sites and tell me why they think I was disabled. shawn.c.oneil at gmail dot com
Thanks for the help. I am just a deployed soldier in afghanistan trying to make some extra money
In my experience, you will never know why your site was disabled. My site was a fairly high quality site with thousands of hits per day. It was over 10 years old. I’d been using Google Adsense for years. I was making very nice income and was following all the rules. Then one day it was all over. My site was disabled for invalid clicks. No proof. No way to appeal outside of the dinky little form, and no discussion. I enjoyed it while it lasted, but it has really left a bad taste in my mouth for anything Google. My advice – don’t buy a house or a car, planning to pay it off with your Adsense income!

Post your doubts about adsense in my site
http://www.tomashy.com
Will reply and help you
You explained it very well. I too have the same doubts whether any of my competitor (just imagining) try click bomb in my blog adsense ads, what will happen. It is very difficult to prove our innocence before Google. Placing ads on junk sites –oh I need to check all websites and blogs in my account again.
I’ve done appeals to my google adsense account.
But the result still was rejected from google adsense.
the issue is that Google violates Human Rights and everyones Right of a Fair Trial – see Wikipedia – and these are such severe issues that there shouldn’t be covered up.
With great power comes great responsibility, and Goggle has to address their duty of care here!

Good article! We are linking to this great post on our website.
Keep up the great writing.
Something that is really disturbing is Google often disables Adsense accounts when it has nothing to do with the bad intentions of the Adsense publishers!
However, it is possible to get an Adsense account again!
