If you have Google Adsense running on your website, and you are tempted to do some sneaky clicks yourself, then be warned. A ban is for life!

Even grovelling won't help, although it is funny when it's done publicly

"I clicked on my adds. I'm sorry... Could you please give me back my account I have learned my lesson & I will never do it again. We all make mistakes & I have learned. With out a adsense account I'm nothing

Please help me
I keep asking them to re-open my account I keep getting the same email back saying NO"


Best response:

"...technically you can appeal using the form below but its as likely to be as successful as applying to NASA to be an astronaut and listing your only qualification as being a cleaner at Burger King"

Google Forum - I clicked on my adds. Disabled account. Will I ever Get it back?! :/ - AdSense Help

Suppose technically you could get round it. Would need a different IP address, (easy), new name and address, (bit tougher), and a new bank account not already associated with adsense (hmm use a friends?)

Still funny watching people beg on a Google Forum

You'd have to work hard to get around a ban.

Google's business is seeing patterns in data and you will likely start promoting a site that was in your old account or log in from a PC that has your old Adsense cookie on it and WHAMMO, you're binned again.

lol. Everyone thinks that adsense is the only way to make money, like SEO is the only way to sell a product. You would be amazed at how many tricks people are trying to get back into adsense. They have even tried opening new accounts under different names and addresses.

Most probably a new website as well (another overhead).

if the ban is for life then suppose a lot of people out there simultaneously started to click on the ads they see on every adsense website, repeatedly until the websites lose their adsense account, eventually google will have banned all their adsense accounts?

They're not that daft, they can spot fraudulent patterns, plus if you spot unusual activity on your account, flag it!

Beginning this month, our adsense revenue quadrupled for 2 days, then went back to normal. Flagged with our account manager as suspicious activity, as our traffic hadn't increased 4 times, so it was definitely out of character.

Looks like it was some kind of cpc error on their part, but got thanked for flagging, and it turns out a few other big sites had also flagged it. Always good to stay squeaky clean and build up a positive reputation, they will then give you the benefit of the doubt if something untoward does happen.

Yup, if you are working on a site for the long haul its best to keep things squeaky clean.

Though I must admit if my ad revenue quadrupled across 2 days, I probably would have waited for a larger data set before turning it in.

I'll not deny I thought xmas had come round again... But you know when somethings not right, and of all the gods out there, the only one I haven't offended yet is the Google one
