Hi Lee:

“check you account regularly”

What account? I don’t have one and Do No Evil won’t say why

Cheers!

Hi there,

The problem as I see it is you can’t fight them and if you could you can’t win, so what is the point in wasting your time?

I think the best thing to do is to make sure you check you account regularly if someone as clicked on your ad lets say 30 or 40 times report it to Google.

If you are getting a lot of traffic to you site or blog but your adsense ads are not paying you much you need to configure your ads a bit better.

I agree, I’ve had similar bad experiences with Google. Their arrogance is incredible. They do things without explanation, then just refuse to answer emails. If you do eventually get a response it’s likely to be a canned answer, that’s generic to the point of being useless.
This behaviour is what I’d expect from a holier than though company with a motto such as Do No Evil. They know best, end of story.
I find this absolute certaintanty deeply scary.

Help our troll build Jon’s defense Fund.
When Gachnar posts, donate.

Small amounts work without any problems, ( I have
personally tested amounts as small as 25 cents ).
Every one of thoses small donations DO add up.

We don’t have to be wealthy, or go broke, to make a
difference,

and we CAN make a difference.

My site has dropped google ad’s because of what happened to p2pnet, scaredmonkeys (another fraud claim) and gone bananas . com\net’s.

The even sent me an e-mail saying in a round about way, we noticed your ads are not displaying! This MUST be an error!

No it isn’t broken, I just want a fair web and IN MY OPINION their adsense practices are simply unfair.

my sister sells my software via ebay (i hate ebay to death) but i let her do it to make some extra money for herself. A few months back ebay shut down all her bids and emailed everyone that had bid or purchased from her that they may have purchased pirated software.. via their ebay store. They made claims that “the copyright owner had contacted them complainin”.

Lo and behold; i am the sole copyright holder for the product and never once contacted them about it. Obviously.
Her listings even had links pointing directly to the products homepage with a special ebay information page just to describe the legitimacy of her as a seller.

A few days later after we received half a dozen emails from the buyers about the “fraud”; ebay put her auctions back and never said another word about it. Meanwhile you can buy a 9GB DL DVD with 10,000 plugins and cracks for photoshop for 4$.

Imagine my surprise!

i had similar experience while advertising on google. affiliates of mine generate sales through there but i wouldn’t put my own money on it again.

We took off the post for now over at Beatking until we see what they answer the email (if they answer) so the link takes you to the main forum index.

We will have a discussion sometime next week over there and I’d like to see people’s opinions and stories about adsense. Perhaps start a huge boycott movement or something.
