Malaysian Bloggers Banned by Google Adsense
Filed in: Make Money Online, Malaysia, Weblog — August 4th, 2005
Two Malaysian bloggers got booted by Google Adsense from the program. They are Wye Jon Lee and Lilian(blog). Now everyone is worry, who will be next?
That’s scary, especially for those already got check from Google Adsense. We, publishers, feel unprotected and unsecure.
The most scary part about Google Adsense banning is that you do Not get any warning, no sign, no email, and then *bump* you are out of Google Adsense!
I understand that it is not easy to check the validity of every clicks. However, Google should kind enough to send a warning to the publisher, make them aware of the problem and suggest a solution.
Imagine that Weblog Inc. got banned from Google Adsense… (btw, Weblog Inc probably has good contact with Google Adsense internal).
Well, before I got booted too, I should looking for Adsense alternatives that works(many are U.S only) for Malaysian.
An advice, do not keep your adsense earning in the account. Withdraw it as soon as it reached USD100.
Thought:
It does really pause my ProBlogger plan.

I strongly believe that Google did not suspend their accounts wrongly. Those who were suspended knows well what they’ve done.
This is especially true when their CTR shoot up too high. One of the many factors that can get your Adsense account suspended.
I think sixthseal got it too

Wheee I made LiewCF! Happy happy :))
toxicle… can I shoot up your AdSense click throughs? Coz in case you haven’t already realised it’s easy for someone other than the owner to abuse AdSense.
I’m not saying that that’s what happened in my case though. Quite frankly I have no idea why I was booted off AdSense. I probably don’t check my AdSense account religiously enough.

Actually, it doesn’t matter whether or not you withdraw your money asap once you reached USD100. What’s earned and what’s approved, which is the amount you get to withdraw, can be withdraw even after your account has been disabled. However, if by the end of the month your earnings are still not approved (usually by 25th), you will not be able to withdraw them.

TRACY NORMAN’S RECOMMENDATIONS :
BY BANNING INNOCENT PUBLISHERS AND THROWING THEM OUT OF GOOGLE ADSENSE, GOOGLE IS ACTUALLY RUINING ITS OWN PRECIOUS TRUST FACTOR. ISN’T GOOGLE BEHAVING LIKE A MONSTER. A SEMI-LORD THAT CAN PLAY WITH ANYONE’S FATE?
I have a client that has a decent click tracking facility for their affiliate system. Can’t google make things more transparent for everyone which is truly justifable and necessity and call of the hour.
Google also says they filter out fraudulent clicks automatically. Then how come they can take away all your hand earned money and pay you nothing? Is Google ending up as the biggest blunder on the worldwide scale playing with advertisers as well as with publishers?
Does google EVER PAYBACK AN ADVERTISER HIS/HER MONEY THAT WAS CHARGED FOR FRAUDULENT CLICKS ?
Isn’t google turning up to be an evil just for the sake of robbing month from millions of people on both the sides every day!?
I wish you people should go for other good networks such as Yahoo/Overture and others. I’m sure only the one that will offer complete transparency in terms of traffic stats to the publishers as well as to the advertisers will survive at last. And until that, companies such as google would loose their precious trust that they’ve build with excellent performance in the pasts!
You can fool a few people for some time, but you can not fool large number of people for a long time.
Google might be happy to take away small money of thousands of people and thus powering up their balance sheets, but what they don’t know is that ONCE A WAVE STARTS WHERE PEOPLE STOP SUPPORTING THEM WITH ADSENSE AND MOVE TO OTHER PARTNER IN BUNCH, THEN THEY’LL HAVE ALL THEIR ADVERTISERS TURNING BACK TO THEM AND A BUNCH OF LAWSUITS BEING THROWN ON THEM!
IS GOOGLE LISTENING? YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO ?
IS MSN LISTENING? I hope you people get back the heart of the world by offering a more transparent contextual advertising option such as MicroSense!
Is Yahoo Listening? Best of luck for your new venture. But remember that the world keeps good hopes with you people and hope you won’t end up as another cheater!
It’s the moral responsibility of the market leaders to protect, enhance and boost everyone’s morale and trust by providing true opportunities an options, not playing with other people’s money or hard efforts.
“You’re actually blessed to have the trust of millions. You think you did it yourself? Wasn’t there the will of the almighty and your fate? You think you’re God? You think you can take away money of trueful people in this way and change their destiny? I’ve seen thousands of people keeping trust in you and start blogging for you so that YOU MAKE GOOD MONEY and throw a bit of it for them. Don’t you have a moral responsibility to pay them back in the form of your commitment for true judgement in the form of indentifying the real CULPRIT, the real cause of chaos for whose actions, you blindly punish the poor site owner dedicatedly working for you investing their huge life-time, money and energy for composing fantastic content so that YOU end up profitting ?”
The solution :
1. Give users an option to deliver adsense through server side scripting, such as asp, jsp, cf or php and provide them true legitimate option to track all adsense clickthroughs outgoing from their site.
Mind you, though bad people are always everywhere, you should take care that you do not punish the true good one, or else you earn up a curse. Do you want to earn money by earning curses from people devoting their lifetime and carrier for YOU people? Have you ever told them how much YOU made from that click while paying them a bit? These good people don’t even ask for that. They just wish GOOD to happen to YOU as well as to themselves. Its your moral responsibility to safeguard them, or else I can foresee that within 6 months you should be ready to loose a lot of business to your new upcomig competitors and that’s how the world goes!
So better understand it on time or get ready for a change! With internet, implementing a change is no big deal. Anyone hires a marketer with the thoughts of revenge and promotes your competitors just to take you down while earning up some real nice money from your competitors as leads based affiliate program!
In lesser words, pay back the money you’ve wrongly acquired from thousands of individuals. Say a Gentleman’s “THANK YOU” to them for their support, and then close their account if you want. And then reinvite them with a more sound tracking facility so that all clicks are perfectly tracked!
YOU WANT ME TO GIVE YOU A SOLUTION? OK HERE IT GOES. “Implement something similar to STOP-LOSS order system as in case of stock trading.
Allow adsense publishers to adapt NULLIFY ALL CLICKS ORIGINATING FROM A SPECIFIC COMPUTER IF 4+ CLICKS OCCUR FROM THE SAME REMOTE_ADDR AND HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR in less than 15 seconds. This is something that doesn’t happen generally. Just nullify these clicks! That’s it. How come you can just BAN tha site owner for any mischief done by any site visitor from anywhere in the whole world! Is this the reward that you actually give to your dedicated partners,, your non-contracted team of supports that’s working more devotedly for you as compared to even a contracted team?
I hope this will open up eyes of everyone including contextual advertising publishers, pay per click advertisers and pay per click search engines that take the help of true devoted partners for distributing contextual advertising from their clients in order to make money.
For the sake of everyone, I’m distributing this message to a few web sites so that everyone gets woke up by the all of the hour.
Thank you.
Tracy Norman.

I just got banned from Google AdSense. I started getting a lot of visits from a robot from datashaping.com just before I was banned. I think Google outsources click tracking and verification to these guys.

[...] But only recently have I seen the very same for bloggers from my home country. If you want a few examples, see this post and this forum thread. The worst part of the whole thing is that many of the cases that local bloggers are involved in are caused by their own ignorance of Google’s TOS. If this continues, all Malaysian bloggers might very well be banned by Google from Adsense. Even if such an extreme action doesn’t occur, there is little doubt that Malaysian bloggers will at the very least suffer from negative preconceptions (which in many cases, but not all, are true). After all, Malaysian bloggers are not too large a group, so a small number of cheaters can be a big proportion of the whole. [...]
