Google blacklisted

Marketing

Originally set up Google Adsense for my travel website over 3 and 1/2 years ago
The next day I tested a few of the links and Google picked this up as illegal activity
Tried to appeal this but had no joy
Still to this day I can’t get Google to overturn this and my site is still black listed

Any suggestions how I can get Google to review/overturn this?

Cheers

Hmmm… I would suggest borrowing somebody else’s account, or asking one of your friends to create one.

Adsense works, you don’t need to test it by clicking the links.

I have never used this product, but wonder: How does one test?

I try to test each link on my sites to be sure it works. If I have Adsense, how would I know it works?

That’s clickfraud, not testing.

Start a new company/corporation and apply in that name.

Unfortunately Google has no tolerance for people who click their own links. People actually pay real money if someone clicks on their links; meaning you costed someone their money for just “testing”. On the other hand, there are several great ways to make money online faster than google. Try <snip>, they are really famous and generates me a good $50-$120 a month even if I don’t have a popular website yet.
I’ve heard of many users of AdSense that says it rocks, but also many who has been denied their payments because of click frauds. (it’s enough that some stranger comes to your site and clicks on all your ads to get banned.)

So my advice: try new stuff. It might broaden your view of internet advertising.

I guess if the abuser clicks from your own ip ( like a neighboor) then you could have problem, but otherwise I think adsense are getting used to deal with click bombings.

I am curious what would happen (or has happened) if someone that does not like you (or your website) clicks the crap out of your Adsense links? I mean you can’t control it, and it would be unfair for Google to ban the Publisher in that case.

In this case though… you can’t click on your own ads for ‘testing purposes’, plain and simple. You have to ‘assume’ it works if the ads are ‘displaying’ fine.
