Google AdSense Suspension - What The Hell Is Going On?

There is always two sides of a story and two sides of a coin but I have my own story and here is what happened.

I feel so delighted today! After a month of waiting and exchanging conversations with PayPal personnel, tracing the 19,099.93 Philippine peso refund that I had wrongly sent to the superseded email of Wealthy Affiliate for my yearly upgrade payment for the service subscription, I finally got it!

I thought it got in, in someone else's pocket and there wouldn't be any means for me to have it back due to the delay in posting it on my account balance. Imagine the whole month's wait in the world of advanced technology!

To the PayPal personnel: "Really sorry for the hurtful words and I thank you for the help. I feel glad and relieved."



Here comes my nightmare of the day: I received a no-reply email of suspension from Google AdSense telling me to take my snippets out from my website because they're not gonna display ads on it and charged me of doing illegal activity.
The feeling of being prompted early at dawn with this suspension news, backed up with the reasons that hardly sink in my mind and all their terms and conditions, made me

What?! I got shocked! You know the feeling when you don't have any grasp of your sudden suspension.

With a trembling hands and misty eyes, I hovered over to my Google AdSense dashboard.

Since it was a no-reply email, I logged in to send feedback on my Google AdSense account to vent out. I feel like barking to the moon. So I went inside the Google AdSense forum and sent this message:

Hello!

I have just received an e-mail of suspension and I can't help but complain.

Just so you know, I am paying Bing for my website's advertisement.

My bill is already 1,370 php. I could give you my screenshot or you could ask Bing.

For a month and few days, I have 74K impressions with only 162 clicks. 0% conversion OMG!

It hurts when you can't even complain to reply from a no-reply email suspension.

What am I gonna do?

Who gives a rat's behind what you spent luring useless traffic to your property. You've wasted your money and now you're solidly on the road to a disabled AdSense account. So if anyone has a right to complain, it's AdSense about the crappy traffic you're driving to your property. Stop doing that or else.

Have a nice day!





This is my reply:

You said, "Traffic from advertising is basically worthless and generates a large percentage of invalid activity. What you're trying to do is actually an AdSense policy violation called arbitrage."

Am I the only one paying ads for advertisement?

All entrepreneurs, affiliate marketers and website owners do.

I agree that great contents are valuable gems but only 1 in a million rate from all people having business online who are growing their business without advertising. Probably next to none or should I say, it's only you I've known, if you are telling the truth.

Aren't you gonna include them for that "arbitrage" thing?

Maybe because I am the least earning among them and that "arbitrage" thing is not just for 7-digits-or-more-earning people.

Don't you know that most of them are spending extortionate ad fees and earning more?

And here's a fact. There are lots of social media pages where users are exchanging clicks on ads. Really blatant posts of exchanging clicks on AdSense ads.

They are not suspended. Why? Because, are a vast of crowds that AdSense wouldn't think of them doing illegal activities.

I suggest AdSense to do their homework and not just kicking less-earning people to sugarcoat their care to merchants.

I am paying for ads too and I got no conversions. That means, having visitors and clicks without conversion no matter how much the price you pay really exists.

Anyway, thanks for the suggestion and replies.

Best of luck!

Here's the latest reply in the comment thread from another top contributor:

Of course, plenty of businesses pay for their advertising, to attract customers for their products and services, NOT advertisers! (Which of course is what AdSense delivers.) Not surprisingly, actual advertisers and Google aren't interested in doing business with publishers trying to skin the cat both ways -- if real advertiser wants to pay money for their ad to sell their services, why should they buy it through your (AdSense) site when they could get the leads through the site or service from which you purchased your ads? You aren't providing any value to the paying customers.

As for social media and fraudulent exchanges, yes, this is an ongoing problem, and some bad people get away with their scams --- but Google tracks down and nails accounts it finds associated with these schemes (and the disabled publishers quite often flood the forums when the larger schemes are exposed.) There's an ongoing and expensive effort to battle click fraud, but just as some bad guys get away with it, doesn't provide a rationalization for you or anyone else to claim you have the right to be 'bad' as well.



I feel like a victim, a prey of a charade with an awesome facade.

These are some opposite feelings I encountered early today. I don't know what to do and where to go but life must go on.

I'll be like the strongest tree that bends whichever direction winds will blow despite how really uprooted, bent, and broken I feel inside.

Really not yet dead, so I should treasure every moment, and jump off every hurdle while I'm still alive.
