What's happening with Google Adsense?

Tweet

I have a blog with Blogger.com. I write as a passion on any topic worth discussing. 2 years ago I had been actively writing purposely as a literary expression of my feelings and observation of past and present events of my life. However, when I learned that one can make money out of blogging, I also tried to apply a few techniques on how to earn passive income out of my articles posted with Blogger.com. One of the techniques is having some advertising website place relevant ads alongside your blog articles the purpose of which is for readers who may come to read your blog may get interested on an ad. The bottom line though is product exposure and bloggers earn mostly through page views or on few instances from purchase commissions. One of these websites that pays bloggers is Google Adsense. There are rules to follow when you register your blog with Adsense and one of these is that you cannot click on a Google ad yourself - it has to clicked by a reader to be indicated as a page view. Well, as I said I was actively blogging before but in the recent past I haven't had the chance to post an article nor get to open and checked my blog. This was due to my busy schedule and other more important endeavors. Then suddenly I received an email from Google Adsense informing me that they disabled my Adsense account for invalid or illegal activity. They gave me a chance to appeal which I did but to no avail because their "experts" had reason to believe that my account "posed a risk of generating invalid activity" whatever that means. Then they frozed my revenue balance for refund to the advertisers. My question is which I also posted in my appeal, what invalid/illegal activity are they talking about. Unless my account was hacked or some unauthorized person did something to my blog is all I can surmise. All I can say is that Google Adsense unfairly disabled my account for something I haven't done. I'd like to share this bad experience for others to be aware of a similar incident that may happen to any unwary blogger.
