Yikes - Horror story or what.

Heard it many times re: Adsense. It's far too risky.

They wouldnt ban 200k for a silly reason, this must have been doing something extra dirty

For sure. 200k is no joke, even for Google. These guys would be considered a minor partner if they were going to generate 200k for Google in a short amount of time. There's more to this story, but it still suck to hear about.

Funny thing is, I bet Google is going to pocket the money instead of handing it back to the advertisers who got scammed.

Damn that sucks! However 200K is an awful lot - I can't imagine google would have just turned off all the accounts in an instant.. would they? :shock:

It's beautiful to read you didn't lose hope and I think you were right not to. I'm pretty sure you can come back from this, you have the knowledge to make money website, plus you only lost your adsence income, you can monetize your site differently if you want to!

Good luck anyways.

wow, google should really look at their own policies before doing things like this, i think thats a problem with most programs these days, people tend to go to the attacked instead of the attackers
