How to get unbanned from Adsense

iambanned.com

Getting banned from Adsense is one of the most dreaded event for an online revenue seeker. So much so that there is now a forum devoted to it - iambanned.com.

You can see from the forum that there are 20 topics of websites being banned and 2 topics of websites being reinstated.

How to get reinstated from Adsense?

From anecdotes found online, it seems that the only way is to send in a well-researched email with supporting information to Google and pray.

Here is what Andrew did,

After I calmed down a bit, I wrote to Ad Sense. I first explained that I have never violate the TOS nor clicked any of my own ads. I further explained that I had reported the unusually high clicks twice. I also pointed out my IP address and told them they needed to check their records as they would find no clicks from that IP. I commented on how it was unfair to penalize publishers for click fraud when they have nothing to do with the attack, and have no way to control or stop such an attack. I also started searching and sent similar emails to everyone from Google I could find. I even wrote to the guy that writes the Google Blog. LOL I was desperate for someone to help.

Another example from SarahG’s friend.

$600 a day from Adsense. Still exist?

casesOK this is old news but still amazing reading how much money can one make from AdSense alone.

In Feb 2005, ProBlogger reported that Weblogs Inc earns $600 a day from Adsense. Of course, Weblogs Inc went on to be acquired in Oct 2005 by Time Warner’s AOL for a reported $25 million.

Sounds like he cash register just keep ringing?

Question is, are the gold rush days over? Christ Garrett at Preformancing ask Can anyone (still) make money from blogging?

I added the still because it had been proven already that one can. (Read the other success stories.)

But can you do it if you are just joining the game now?

How to be Poor with $1800 a day?

With $1800 AdSense a day, you got to try very hard to be poor. (Pun intended.)

Over at How to be Poor, Max reported a whooping $1800 Adsense revenue in a day and even has screenshot to prove.

It turns out to be an April Fools joke. But he did make a respectable $20 (if you still believe him).

What did he do?

He created a website about flooded basement and spread the word. Nice idea.

If you visit the site, notice that Adsense is now Ads by Yahoo. Was Adsense suspended because of this joke? Or because Yahoo pays better?
