After a quick search on the web, i discovered Google has done this to thousands and thousands of people. Any form of "suspicious" activity results in a permanent ban without warning, and without pay. But how do they define what is suspicious and whats not? All it takes is one person to sabotage someone elses blog, by simply spam clicking their advertisements and you're shit out of luck. I'm not sure what kind of "suspicious activity" my adsense has been involved with, but I know for sure that this was a major waste of time. $200 down the drain. Of course, you can appeal to be unbanned...but we all know how that goes with big corporate companies.
So whats the next best thing? I decided to start trying out AdBrite. I have no idea what I can expect from these guys, but i figure i should try the next best thing before calling it quits.
I got the exact same mail, word for word. I was aware that they normally fuck people over, but I thought I'd give it a go anyway. Still kind if pisses me off though.
that sucks man, try bidvertiser, i received a small payment from them so i know theyre legit. i hear adbrite is trustworthy as well. also, the beat on that first track is the ish
That sucks about AdSense man. Thanks for putting up more tracks though, I'm really digging the Ice Cube track.
