got turned down for google adsense

[Cloughie]

Can you think of any reason why?

I put in my site www.wannabebig.com

[chromate]

Did they not mail you with the reason?

When I got the email saying I had been turned down, they provided a reason in the same email.

[Chris]

Ya, I'd definitely ask why.

[Kyle]

I was denied the first time for my site PeaceandHealing.com.
I emailed Google and asked them why, and mentioned how my site met and exceeded their terms & conditions (original content, no other advertising, etc.). I then received an apology letter from a manager who said my site shouldnt had been denied.

[Cloughie]

no reason. Perhaps I will enquire.

[Cloughie]

lol I got this from them..

"Hello Daniel,

Thank you for your email.

Our records indicate that your account was previously disabled because
invalid clicks were generated on the ads on your site. Publishers disabled
for invalid click activity are not allowed to participate in Google
AdSense.

I apologize for the inconvenience.

Sincerely,

The Google Team
"

I have never used adsense before though????

[GCT13]

This is turning into a comedy of errors.

[Chris]

I guess I would email them back again.

[chromate]

Haha. Weird.

Let us know how they reply.

[chromate]

Just out of interest, if a user of a site running adsense clicks the ads several times, would google consider these invalid clicks and terminate your account?

I would imagine a competitor would see this as a golden opportunity for destruction.

Just wondering how they determine what are invalid clicks.

[Mike]

I've heard that google looks what IP the owner of the site has (via the publisher interface). So if they saw a load from another IP they would probably just deduct the amount from the earnings.

I could be wrong though.

[chromate]

Yeah, it must be IP based. Probably check to see if the IP is part of the same subnet or something.

[michael_gersitz]

I got rejected 3 times, really wierd things too, like "bad link structure", but the 4th time I got in!

[Cloughie]

they sorted it out and finally accepted me :)

[chromate]

You know what, I've really been impressed with Google's customer service. For such a large organisation, they're so damn fast in sorting things out and replying to emails etc. Seriously impressed.

[john190]

It's nice that you've been accepted at last! I've been using adsense for just over 1 month now and so far it's working great.

Someone even earned me over ? USD for just one click thru.

Adsense does work!!!

[Prince]

I applied just for the heck of it and I was approved in around 12 hours for www.ironmagazine.com

However, I doubt that I will ever use it, I just cannot see placing that big ad on my site and actually making any decent money with it.

[Mike]

It's not that big Prince. In fact, the adsense ads look pretty good.

[Prince]

I know you can go with the smaller versions, I just cannot see anywhere to fit it on my site.

[michael_gersitz]

I would try it out, it worked good for me.

[ozgression]

I've been seeing a large increase in earnings the last few days. The program is certainly improving for me.

I use the inline rectangle (300x250) and the leaderboard (728x90).

[Prince]

If I may ask, how much are you guys making per month with adwords?

Good:)

There was a spell when many were considering changing their adnetwork. Glad things have picked up with it.

[X Q mano]

I got rejected also, but I've started work to clear it up, and meet the requirements... :)

I dunno, I think you might be wrong, all I ever hear are good things about the amount of revenue google ads can make for content websites.

I can't run it on wbb because it offers too many competitor adverts to at large nutrition and in my opinion advertises some erm... lets say dodgy products in terms of unproven supplements etc.

I put it up to test and earned myself 30 cents lol

[Prince]

hmmm...interesting.

I will have to think about it in the future, I wish they offered smaller ads, like one block.

[incka]

They denied me the first time because they thought my site was a casino...

[john190]

I'm surprised to see how many people get turned down for Adsense. I have been turned down for Tribal Fusion, and a few other networks in the past, but when I applied to the Adsense program, I got accepted straight away within a few days.

[Naila]

I have launched our website on 9th may 2004 and apply for google adsense on 23rd may 2004 and in hurry forget to enter complete payee name and address and received following email on 25th may 2004.
