Google slammed my account and won't reply - Page 2

I can't remember where I read it, but there was something about Google's advertisers not being very happy about the click rate and follow through with purchases. Maybe Google is responding to those complaints and trying to separate the wheat from the shaft. (not saying that anyone here has a website that's shaft...just saying) There was also something about MySpace revenues going down too.

I also used that form, submited 3 times but never got a reply. It's worth a try though.

Sorry I don't have the link anymore.

I'd like to know the answer to that too. They don't pay as much as AdSense for CPC, but I love their 3rd party flat rate ad program. It's what I use on 2 Create a Website and I love it. I don't use their CPC program though (only AdSense), so maybe that's what Tonye is referring to.

Yes adbrite cpc sucks. I recently added it to my site and i earn no more than 10% of what i would earn with google

Yeah I guess he may have been, im also a big fan of AdBrite after noticing you use it to sell ads on 2createawebsite. I also hope to start using that to my advantage soon. Do you think 1000 unique visitors a day is enough to get any interest from advertisers (going to be a while yet but it's getting there)?

Looking at my stats for the last 7 days.

I get an average of:

- 6 page views per visit.
- 6.00 minutes on my site per visit

and my bounce rate was 34.24% for the last week.

thanks for letting me know about the appeal form. I filled it out and submitted on friday and i got reply today saying they re-enabled it!!! WOOOT!!

Since I have been hearing numerous occasions where google did not respond to appeals, i thought i would just share what i did, even though i dont really know why I got mine back when others didnt.

First I got rid of all the adbrite ads on my site, and re-added the adsense htmls to my site(even though it wasnt showing up on the web since it got banned) then asked google to take a look at the corrections i made ( i got banned for placing ads on wrong areas) and i also apologzed and assured them it wont happen again and also told them i didnt deliberately try to violate their policy but just was ignorant about it.

Well, im going to try it again..... I mean, i could really use adsense.... but they said i had invalid clicks, then they say that they dont pay you for invalid clicks.... so why would they close me account then. The thing is, i didnt have anyone click and i didnt click... Who knows, but im going to appeal again and see what they say. I recently updated my site and made it look better so we will see what happens. Google, here i come Lahai Lahai Lahai Arghhhhhh!!!!!!!!!

True, they don't pay for invalid clicks and it doesn't always result in an account termination but I guess when they see blatant fraud (repeated clicks) they close the account. They must've seen something. I would really hate to be on the AdSense fraud click team. It would be so hard to determine. There are evil people who do click others ads to try and get them terminated and innocent people have been terminated. They watch those new AdSense accounts like a hawk to protect the AdWords advertisers (which they should) but I'm sure they get it wrong a lot.

Sorry to hear about that but i doubt they'll give any explanation or even reply to you. Its time to get alternatives, since you have adbrite and chitika, stick to them. Try a new on, maybe bidvertiser.
