Adsense Tips
Google AdSense is one of the best contextual advertising services out there, but it is also famous for coming down hard on those it claims to be in violation of Google’s policies. If your AdSense account has been banned, you have a number of options available to help you get past this crisis.
Appeal to Google
Regardless of whether your AdSense account has been banned due to invalid clicks or other violations of Google’s policies, you can appeal their decision if you feel that you have been wrongly penalized. Google only accepts such appeals sent through their Policy Violation Appeal found in AdSense support. Simply fill out the form with your contact information and be prepared to provide a convincing reason why your account should be reinstated.
Be warned that success rates with appeals to Google are not high, meaning that you should not count on a successful appeal as your first and most realistic solution for recovering from the ban. Furthermore, if your initial appeal is rejected, there is a good chance that Google will simply ignore further appeals on your part.
Opening Another AdSense Account
Some people go as far as to change their web hosting option and website details in order to open another AdSense account after being their old ones have been banned. Unsurprisingly, this is both unethical and clear grounds for a second banning.
However, you can open a second AdSense account legitimately after your first one has been banned if you are willing to set up a legitimate business and set up the account in its name. Similarly, you can also apply for a second AdSense account legitimately using your personal name if the AdSense account for your business was the one that ended up being banned.
Remember that you need to set up a legitimate business for this approach to be acceptable, meaning that you’ll need to register your business with your government, get it unique tax identification, and then set up a bank account for your business. In sum, setting up a business simply to open a new AdSense account is both impractical and time-consuming.
Alternatives to AdSense
Your best method for dealing with an AdSense ban is to build your website so that you can simply roll with the blow and come back up as strong as ever. Although you should do so even if your AdSense account hasn’t been banned, there is no better time to start that right after your old revenue stream has been cut off.
- You can sign on with another contextual advertising service like Adbrite or Chitika. Carefully examine the pros and cons of each option by reading their sales pitch and consulting their users. You may want to pick out a contextual advertiser that will let you run other forms of advertising on your website so that you’re covered in case you lose another revenue stream.
- Look into pay per lead programs that pay you a set amount each time one of your visitors clicks on the ad and then carries out a specified action. You’ll get a higher sum for each successful action, but getting visitors to carry out those actions can be difficult. Common examples include getting visitors to fill out surveys, sign up for free services, and downloading certain files.
- You might be able to perform marketing for an affiliated business like Amazon if you have a good reputation and a solid, well-established user base that listens to your opinions.

Recovering the Banned AdSense Account within 48 Hours
Everything would be fine until you see see a mail stating that your Google AdSense account has been disabled for policy violation. Google monitors sites with AdSense and acts upon those which violate their polices. The earnings till then, and the effort you had put in earning it would be a waste unless you know how to recover your account. Don’t forget! getting your Google AdSense account disabled is not the world’s end. Disabled AdSense account is same like as a frozen bank or PayPal account.
If you know why Google disables your AdSense account, you can rectify the mistake and appeal for reactivation of your account. You can do the following things to get your AdSense account back in action.
Remove the violation on the site
Your AdSense banishment might be due to the violated content on the page you placed. Google will specify one or more violations in the email explaining the banning of your account. This doesn’t mean the rest of the content is good. Violations from the rest of the content might also have considered. If you read the email carefully, it says,
Please note that the URL we provide in the notification email is just an example and the same violations may exist on other pages of this website.
Check you entire site for violated content, remove it and appeal Google for reconsideration.
Report the hack if hacked
Even though you find no violation of the content on your site, Google might have taken action on it. This is because your site might have been compromised and any harmful code would have been injected into it. If the injected harmful code is harming the visitor, it is against the policies and will be identified as violation. If you are not aware of it, go to webmaster tools and check for malware on the site.
If any malware or unwanted harmful code is found, try to remove it to your possibility. If you cannot, report it to Google and they will take care of the issue.
Remove the Ad code on spam & Social Networking sites
Placing Ad code on the spam & social networking sites is violated. If you placed any code on other sites, remove them as soon as possible. If your AdSense account has more than one authorized owner, ask them if they have placed any Ad code on spam/social networking sites and if any such installations found, remove them. Authorize your site using webmaster tools and remove other authorized users from your AdSense account, until reactivation at least. See the list of sites that are authorized to display Ads.

Remove the Ad code near Download buttons
You should not place your Ad code very nearer to the download or any buttons on the site. It violates the Google polices and you account will be banned.
Remove Ad code under Drop-Down Menu
Do not place your Ad code under drop-down menus. As there is a chance to get accidental clicks, it is violated.
You should not place Ad code where you can get the accidental click from your visitors. Every click on the Ad should come within the visitor interest only.
Instead of all these above factors, Google might take a wrong step in disabling your account. You can also report this mis-judging activity of the team to Google. Before you consider it a Google's mistake, check your site once if any violation were crypt in. Fix the problem before you contact Google. If you want to appeal a violation, use appeal a violation notification troubleshooter, go through the steps in it and find the correct form, fill it and submit.

If you appeal was denied
Google takes issues regarding program policy compliance very seriously. Google program policies ensures a positive experience for publishers, site visitors and advertisers. So the decisions once taken might be final . Though you appeal for reconsideration, there is no guarantee that your account would get reinstated again.
Remember that you may send only one appeal for one AdSense account. Additional appeal will not be taken into consideration. So be careful when you appeal for reinstating of your lost account.
Your appeals will be considered if they are worthy enough and the banned AdSense account will be reactivated within 48 hours.
Hope this helped you recover banned AdSense account!
