This may sound like a shock to many bloggers who have been following us from past 3 years because the Google Adsense serving has been disabled on this blog for one small issue which was something generally considered as a browser issue. If you guys have been following me, you should have known that my mantra for business is ‘Never Put All Your Eggs in One Basket‘ and this is because we do not know what kind of issues you have to go on in the coming future.
First came the announcement in 2007 by Google which suggested to Stop Selling Text Links, or else expect a series of penalties, followed by the Google MayDay Update which killed all the long tail search traffic and it literally killed the traffic for many small time bloggers and websites. This year again there was another major algorithm update called as the Panda Update which has made most webmasters loose upto 60% of their traffic.
Recently i had published a small but useful article on a service where in the Images were overlapping over the adsense ads when you visit the blog post on a small screen and Google sent us a mail to fix the same.
Hello,
During a recent review of your account we found that you are currently displaying Google ads in a manner that is not compliant with our program policies (https://www.google.com/support/adsense/bin/answer.py?answer=48182&stc=aspe-1pp-en).
————————————————–
EXAMPLE PAGE: [removed]Please note that this URL is an example and that the same violations may exist on other pages of this website or other sites in your network.
VIOLATION(S) FOUND:
DECEPTIVE AD IMPLEMENTATION: Publishers may not implement Google ads in a manner that disguises the ads in any way. In order to maintain a good user experience, it is important for publishers to clearly distinguish Google ads from site content. More information about this policy can be found in our help center (https://www.google.com/adsense/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=177526)
REQUESTED ACTION: Please make all necessary changes in the next 72 hours. If the violations are corrected within the aforementioned time period, ad serving will not be affected. If changes are not made and/or other policy violations are encountered during the review process, ad serving will be disabled to your site.
ACCOUNT STATUS: ACTIVE
Your AdSense account remains active. However, if we continue to find problems, we may disable your entire account. Therefore, we suggest that you take the time to review the rest of your network to ensure that all of your other pages are in compliance with our policies.
————————————————–
Thank you for your cooperation.
Sincerely,
The Google AdSense Team
We had actually fixed the issue by removing the Images from that specific article to ensure that the overlapping does not happen and also responded back to the Google Team with the same, but today exactly after 5 days instead of their 3 days warning they disabled the ads with the message sent to us saying ‘Google AdSense ad serving has been disabled to your site’.
We previously notified you about a policy violation on your site, and we asked that you make changes within 3 working days. After reviewing your site, we’ve found that the previous violation was not corrected, or we’ve found another violation. Therefore, we’ve disabled ad serving to your site.
I have different views regarding this problem where in the positive note is that, its good that the Adsense team informs us when they find any violation but again its bad that they give you just 3 days time and even if its fixed within the time frame, Google does not support you and warns about the right to disable your account at any time.
Update : Exactly after 19 hours, the Adsense team have fixed the issue and the ads on this blog are running up again. Thanks everyone for the support and special thanks to the Google Team for quickly sorting this issue. Do read our article on How to Get Your Banned Adsense Account Reinstated.
oh thats news. Hope your issue gets resolved soon Amit.
This is very sad specially for a stablished blogger. Sometimes google are doing arbitrary manner. But I think they will resolve your problem. If you put all the facts and problem before them. Certainlt google would not like to loose its important customer nd so the reder just for a little mistake. Hoping you will get it active very soon.
Thanks for commenting, and yes the problem is solved within hours by the adsense team.
Does really google adsense team works fast?
I would like to share interesting thing that there is no simple way to communicate with google adsense team because i faced a big problem and they never answered .
🙁
I hope you get your issue fixed Amit. look forward to that day
Amit, so u mean ur account got disabled? or just this site?
Just this site or domain name!
Its really scary, if we get adsense account banned like this even after resolving the issue..
i didnt got what exactly you meant by “Images were overlapping over the adsense ads”..
Sometimes when you visit a blog on a different browser resolution then the Images *may* overlap the content or ads and that is what happened in our case, which triggered the automated system to flag the domain name.
Its Allready happened with me on – adsense ads were overlapping over the Images
And Google send me same mail.
then a serach a solution for it
You have relationship manager for adsense also. Why don’t u get in touch with him
yep did get in touch and got it solved now!
:'(
I’m hoping Amit, Google will soon start displaying Adsense ads on your blog again. But It’s good that you are using other monetization methods as well on your blog, so in case you lose revenue from one, you have other networks to support you.
Generally the other ad networks dont really help because of the low paying ads and very less fill rate.
Oh thats major issue. I use infolink + adsense right now. I would remove infolinks once I get $75.
BTW you might face lots of loss due to adsense deactivation man.
yep, we removed infolinks long back because of the issue of very less paying ads. https://www.amitbhawani.com/blog/infolinks-kontera-statistics/
It is really a shoking news that Google sometimes proves their monopoly. But going through your article it becomes clear that they probably has some software for tracing the websites that violates their terms and automatically flags them but once these problems got fix, the the reverse de-flagging process may not exists there.
So, seems that you have received the mail from some auto generated mailing systems that traces the flagging issues and send the mail accordingly. But since that is auto generated mailing system, so your there is no one to respond to your mail that you have fixed those issues.
Though I am not sure about such things and this is my personal view.
yep, almost what you said was happened and the real team looked into the issue and fixed the same which was started earlier.
That’s a sad news Amit.. Despite of many other advertising companies, Adsense is still best for online publishers. You might like to get in touch with them and try to find out the reason…May be they have disabled because of ad placement on your other sites..!!
If its due to other sites then why google disallow to show ads on this site .
I think adsense account is remain active just google not showing ads on amitbhawani.com
I have faced it once
Amit don’y worry. suppose if these ads not appears on your blog. using ads of a new account will still work on your blog.
How it happened to you amit!! does this mean your account banned and you cannot recover it ?!!
i never scene an overlaping ads on your site ? how one punished due to a browser issue ? Hope you can recover from it soon
it was for a Image on one of our blog post.
This issue has a major effect on your earnings and revenue share?
Hmm Thats indeed shocking. Luckily you didnt get your adsense account disabled. Otherwise google is quite strict :O
That is a shocking news…sorry to hear that. Hope they review your site again and re-approve it. Best luck. 🙂
Hope that they will review your site soon and will remove the block.
They said “we’ve found that the previous violation was not corrected, or we’ve found another violation” you made it sure that no other pages have the same issue right ?
If they have blocked your website, no adsense ads will served for you ( i mean what ever account you use).
Its really bad. At least a site owner should get more time to fix these small issues.
Very very sad to hear. I started taking extra care abt adsense based on ur related posts in past. Hope u’ll get ur site with adsense soon.
-Amogh
i checked your Cached file. i don’t think any issue in adsense.
Hope you will solve this matter soon!
As Saju mention i have never scene any overlap ads on your site.
Actually adsense team do not block site manually as all this is automatic.
You submit your site with all issues and proof.
You will get it soon.
Achchha Hua.
There is no doubt ad serving will be restored in your blog in a few days. Do let us know when that happens.
The Only Thing i can Say is Bad luck , Hope the ads will resume again for this website in case the Account is not disabled. Please update us for this issue if you get any positive response from google.
You are Hero for Many bloggers and we would love to see you get the addsense Back.
BTW , You rank shoot up in Alexa , Yesterdays Rank is 2711 Looks like you got Good Traffic now after Panda Update.
It’s really bad news, amit . I Hope it should be resolution soon
Hi Amit,
I already face this problem in my website. so i remove all issue about it but Google disable ad serving on my website. after i send Policy Violation Appeal to Google and after Google send me a mail that your ads will showing in 48 hours but after 15 Days my ads again showing on my websites.
I hope you will recover your issue soon.
The News Is Not Good
Pure Blogger Like You Shout Be Marked As A Top Contributer In Google Adsense For Serving Great Stuff. And They Shout Not Do Such Rubbish Thing
I Think Google Is Forgetting That They Exist Because Of The Sites Like This One
I Mean How Google Want Us To Prove
Hi Amit,
As i am reading this article.. i see google ads showing up properly.. Hope problem is resolved..
ALL THE BEST..
Regards,
Leela
Wow, congrats!! Adsense ads are up again!
Glad to see the ads back sir…..Google wont do that to you sir ‘cos you are a major contributor for them. All the best. God bless you 🙂
Hey,
My adsense account also went with the wave last week, my site had all the genuine original content, dont know why, i also appealed but they without giving any reason replied in negative..!
Similar incident occurred to me earlier. I had given a DIRECT link to a certain HINDI font download from a popular HIndi Newspaper site, and Google Adsense’s BOT detected it as I am distributing pirated software! Only a fool might have judged that!
Seems no one is giving physical attention to these issues at Google Adsense.
Now, I don’t see even TextLinkAds in this site, have you removed?
Is it against AdSense TOS to publish TLA like InfoLinks or Contera ?
This had happened to a friend of mine in past vand worst he never got mail from Google.
Didnt expect something like this may happen to established blogger like you bro !!
Wish ad serving will be restored in your blog in a few days.
Best luck;)
Good to know you are back on Adsense.
Really it’s difficult to survive without Adsense. I know there are many options but those doesn’t work as effective as Adsense. At least for all India publishers.
It’s also good to know that Google is informing publishers about these violations.
I know putting all our eggs in one basket is dangerous but what can I do if that basket is so perfect that I don’t even thinking about other basket 😉 my 90% income is from Google.
Google making lot of money disabling publishers accounts, most of the time without reason
they never notiifed me… simply disabled my account…. on their standard pretext of… “Invalid Click Activity”… FU** U adsense team…
Hey That is really bad but the problem has been solved. I want to know that I have blog and I want to participate in Google Ad sense also but I have tried once but I didn’t get approved would you please help me in that. Give me some suggestion on it.
Hello To All,
As stated in our program policies, AdSense publishers are not permitted to
make prominent use of “Google Brand Features” on sites displaying Google
ads. This includes any sites that attempt to create a false association
with Google or use Google trademarks in the URL.
In the mean time It will be a great help if you can tell us that we
can run adsense on our site http://www.androidxyzabc.com(android google brand name). It will be a
great help to us. I look forward for you great support and help.
Thanks
sandy

Immediately after that i got the below message and accnt disbaled.
I think google is playing with small publishers. I dont know the reason for disabled.
I spent time, given them space and bandwidth, and they earn money. They will never return any money to advertisers. It is really bad practice of google and it must be stopped.

i have removed that post … is it right time to appeal google to review my site again ..??
Adsense has strict policies especially for Indians and they take these kind of issues very seriously.
google disabled adsense from one of my site, can i use again adsense in my site or it takes time?
Depends on the type of ban, if the domain is banned then you cannot use adsense on it again.
Hi Amit Please help me ,my adsense account’s ads serving is disabled and a mail a got from google ,please tell me what should i do ..

Obviously torrents are not allowed in Adsens, better remove all those pages and then reapply for reconsideration.
Just make sure to not mix the language in your title and content, Adsense might mark them as auto generated content – many blogger are now facing this because of that issue. One of mine got disabled.
Nice Blog !!
but the example Url google gave me is not of my site ..why i m still receiving such mail ?
@Amit bro May you please tell me is it ok to use Adsense Ads between the posts without writing a title our them like ADS or Sponsors etc .
I have seen many image based websites using adsense ads but adsense don’t allow ads on sites with little or not content.. Why is this policy so strict only for Indians ??
