BLOCKED - by Google Adsense
google adsense shut my account down.
i was new to their service. i was testing their reporting tools on a few of my sites.
they shut me down cuz i clicked on my own ads.
does anyone know if it is possible to get my account reinstated after this happens?
i would not have clicked the ad if i knew they would shut me down.
a warning would have been nice.

Uh, doesn't it say in their TOS that you can't do that? Did you read it?

Why don't you try asking Google? They are the ones running the program, not WHT...

When you sign up for something like that, you're supposed to read the TOS. That's your own fault.
You have no right to be pissed, IMO. Google did the right thing here. They didn't need to give you a warning.

The answer to the question is 99% no. With enough contact with them there's always that small chance that you can get it reinstated.
The moral of the story is always read the TOS█ Mike from Zoodia.com

Even if you didnt read the TOS, you should know that stealing other people's hard earned money is bad
99.9999% you cannot get another account at google in your name and certainly not for the domain name through which fraudulent clicks were detected.

ur a turd
what part did u miss.
did you see the words "testing" google's "reporting tools"
(you know... the channels)
i was trying to make sure clicks were beeing reported by all domains
i was verifying that the javascript worked on multiple sites.
hardly can be thought of as stealing.
i was new to their service and trying it out.
i wanted to know their service was working.
i also wanted to know exactly what combination of clicks constitued a commission.
i could not deduce this from their FAQs.
had they sent me an email explaining the situation...
i would have stopped doing it.
but oh well i guess they are just as up tight as some of you.
why dont ya go read some fine print on a tv commercial or something.

If you're not ready to do that, you're not ready to get into business with those of us who are ready, who do pay attention to what we agree to, and who are willing to play by the rules. And who are putting out money, businesses, and reputations on the line. Clearly everyone knows that clicking on an ad means that somebody has to pay for that click -- you don't even have to read the TOS to know that you're ripping someone off when you click on your own ads.
I can only hope that everyone who makes this "innocent mistake," when they write to Google begging to be reinstated, makes that same argument: "of course I didn't read the terms of the agreement, why would I do that?" Because I know of plenty of instances in which accounts were reinstated, but I can guarantee that none of them were people who went about it that way.Last edited by JayC; 05-02-2006 at 05:16 PM.

It just makes me wonder what actually made him think that he could test the service like that & not have his account disabled.
Come on now. Be serious.
