t e c h i e - t a l k s ::: technology at its best

Today is really not my day. I woke up at 9 am to look for articles/inspirations to blog when I realised that my Google ads are gone! At first I thought it was just a script error and I decided to check on my adsense account and my script tags. Upon logging into my adsense account, I got this message,

Account Disabled

Your AdSense account for this login is currently disabled. We recommend checking your email inboxes for any messages we may have sent you regarding your account status. Sometimes our messages can be caught by email filters, so please be sure to check the Bulk/Spam folders of your email accounts as well.

Shocked, I went to my mailbox and found the said e-mail. They never really explained why I had my account disabled but I shall assume that it was probably due to invalid clicks or sudden surge of visitors to my site.  I can’t blame for the latter. However, I have worries about the former.

There was these few days where I had lots of ads clicks (I have no idea where from) and that made my adsense earnings bloat up for that day. I tried searching on the web and found that there are several instances where people try to disable one’s Adsense earnings by repeatedly clicking the ads and/or by using proxies. GAHHH!! I suspect that this is probably the root of my Adsense termination. I’ve been getting not-so-friendly comments (which I deleted) lately too. Why would anyone wanna do such a dumb thing? I have no idea.

I have already sent an appeal to Google to re-look at me staying on their Adsense adverts. I’ll wait for their reply and I’ll update this post soon. I’m looking at site management tools now too, so as to help monitor traffic and in/out pages. GAHH!!!!

Angry? Well, Yes and a little disappointed too. A hundred bucks in a few months? Maybe it was too-good-to-be-true to start of with. Sigh.
