December 23, 2005 was the day that I was banned from Adsense. I remember it like it was yesterday! I was in Miami, relaxing with my family when I decided to check my Google account. I’d only had my adsense account for about two months, and I was accustomed to checking my account every other day. I was so excited when I had a few cents added to my account.

Hark! When I attempted to log-in my password didn’t work. That was strange. I checked my e-mail and found a message stating that my adsennse account had been closed due to suspicious clicking on ads. I had been banned from Adsense. Now, I had spent two days on the road to visit family, and I hadn’t updated my blog for another couple of days while I prepared for the holidays. So how could I possibly be banned from Adsense? The funny thing is that I also didn’t tell any of my family and friends about adsense. I made sure that I read the terms of service so I knew that asking people to click on ads was against Google’s rules.

I knew that they had made a mistake. The ban from Adsense would certainly be lifted and I would be reinstanted. I sent them an e-mail to Google. I received no response at all. At the time, I couldn’t find any other way to contact Google. The bad thing is that when you are banned from Adsense you are banned for life. They may even ban your friends from acquiring an Adsense account. They keep your personal data on file. I have heard of people getting another adsense account by signing up using a different computer and using a different home address. I don’t think that’s the right thing to do. These days, they do have a contact form that you can use for disputes. Today, they do have a contact form that you can use for disputes. I completed the form three times (at least) and received no response. If you are banned from Adsense, there is definitely life after Google.
