    Google disabled my adsense account because apparently I violated the program policies.

    How can I contact them about this issue, or dispute this disabling?

    Thanks,

    You can contact their support department. There should also be FAQ's and help pages on their website somewhere.

    Since Adsense site worthiness is probably detected by some piece of software, a support person needs to look at the case.

    In the notification e-mail, was there no link to some kind of dispute form?

    Did you check if the mail was authentic?

    It was authentic. I found out how to appeal. Just have to use this - Edit: can't post link, don't have 50 posts.

    I think it's ridiculous considering I have been legitimately earning money, and for them disabling my account means that I may have lost the money.

    What program policies did they state you violated? That could help us as well.

    Not fond on Adsense because of some of these rules. If you find an issue getting back on (sometimes people do not get accepted again after been disabled) then you should try something like BuySellAds. That gives you a bit more freedom.

    I hope you do get this issue sorted and that you get back on to the system. Pain when something like this happens because your revenue ends up really low whilst you go through the times of missing out.

    I was disabled. I followed their rules. They re-enabled me with no issue.

    What keeps someone's competitors from just coming and clicking on their ads nonstop until they get disabled?

    Always wondered the same thing haha

    Obviously they have to have some sort of checks in place?

    The question is, if they let me back in, will they keep the revenue which I'd earnt?

    Seems like you need to increase your traffic and get more content up and re-apply. At least, that's what I think.

    I would highly doubt that personally.

    The appeal has been denied. I think it was due to traffic issues. I had about $20, but it was a good start.

    Didn't take them long to reply.

    Did you have a privacy policy with the required adsense content in it? Did you ever click your own ads? Did you encourage people to click ads? If you answer no the the first and yes to the two last questions, being banned from adsense is very likely.

    Want to make real money with a forum? Contact advertisers directly. I made $70 once for an entire year using adsense, then I tried contacting advertisers instead and made about $85 in an hour...

    That's the thing with AdSense. So easy to get caught out and banned. It happens to loads, and once you've been banned, it's unlikely you'll be unbanned.

    Adsense only works if you've got a pure, and a increasing forums/site.
    Any instances of violation will get you out of that program, and they'll remove your earnings just like that. It's happened to me once, don't let them fool you!

    I have heard that once you get banned from Adsense, that it is very difficult to get another account. Not sure how true that is, but a lot of people say it.

    I am with Adsense too, but stopped when I saw how long it was going to take me to begin to make a decent amount of money. And even if you do have an established website or blog, your income still may not be a stable constant income. I have heard that income fluctuates a lot.

    Best of luck though with getting another account with them.
