Review of week 27 - 28 (3 Jul - 16 Jul)

The last 2 weeks I launched Free Biz Ware. A blog focusing on using free and opensource softwares in business. It is mirrors my real life using of such softwares in my own business.

The going is getting tough. I am faced with a dilemma.

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.

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.
