Just avoid this guys. It is better to serve your own ads or use related ads agencies. They have reduced human beings to robots.

An excerpt from google via email reads ''Please note that we may not be able to respond to enquiries regarding the specific reasons for our decision. Thank you for your understanding''

This is insane!

I made a lot of money using Adsense before. For many years, too. I had (and have) a high-quality (not "made for Adsense" site) and this always worked well for me. In the past year, however, my Adsense earnings dropped by 50%, despite everything else around me going up in price. Their ad system serves up $#*!ty, useless ads, and causes my RPM to be $#*!ty too... Horrible, horrible service these days. Seriously.

I am agree with the words of Spider B. Google also blocked my adsense account in 2011 even when i never visited my own ads. A blog post published over thenextweb.com is also showing the fact: http://thenextweb.com/google/2014/04/29/google-denies-alleged-leak-claiming-adsense-stealing-money-publishers-calls-complete-fiction/

I have lot of Ad's on many different web pages, not to make money but just track visits and possible clicks. Most of people hate google Ads and never click on those! Only those pages that trick customers into clicking those. I also noticed right before $100 the not adding any revenue! Even I sometimes get clicks.

Google got to powerful and lazy and should be broken up by the Gov!

It's a scam
October 31, 2021

AdSense is a scam! Google should be ashamed. They revoke your account for no reason just before they are supposed to make a payment so they don't have to pay you! How is this legal?! I hope someone one day sues them.
I closed my AdSense account and I don't want anything to do with them ever again! Humanity everywhere is corrupted to the core. And the tech world is out of control. Humanity with the aid of technology is going to destroy itself much faster.

Well I am somewhat amazed that someone in the Google Organization would say this. " We feel you have violated our terms and we have discontinued your account". I asked for a review and they still said the same thing. Fact is I don't think I have ever clicked on any ads from google on any of my pages. Ya know the funny thing about this is not even one day passed when I started getting mails from some dude who apparently knew the situation as they offered me a program similar to googl'es. I wonder if google management knows what really goes on. Basically I want to Rate there method of review ie. They should show some proof before they cancel a account.
Respects,
Spider B

And for nothin. They just sent me bunch of bull$#*! reasons of what might have been wrong. It'; s funny as they removed adsense in a day I started getting more and more visitors. I guess they were afraid they'll have to pay me something.

A complete scam
February 25, 2018

AdSense is a scam, and Google should be ashamed to host it. They revoke your account for your political views, and they refuse to pay you the money you earned from it. I just don't even see how this is legal.

I had Adsense on my site for over a year and was slowly accruing money (not a lot but some). Then, with no change to my site, they suddenly declared me in policy violation and deactivated my account - which means that I can't even access the records of the money I made, let alone the money itself. There's no way to appeal or even to find out why they suddenly changed their minds (literally, nothing changed, so how could it be fine and then a policy violation with no change?). They should at least have to give me the money I earned, but from what I can see in "Community" (the only real option for finding out what happened), they give the money back to the advertisers. Why? I kept up my end of the bargain!

NOTE: Review has some harsh words in it.

This is a piece of crap like the other guy said, Google should be ashamed of it.
Putting it beside youtube videos is bad, putting it IN youtube videos that is $#*!ed! Last thing I need is to be reading crappy advertisements while I'm trying to watch a video...
