Bad experience with Google Adsense

I had a very bad experience with Google Adsense.

They Disabled my account and refuse to tell me on which of my sites where I had advertisements the so called violation occurred or exactly what the violation was. If only I knew what I did wrong I could at least try to rectify it.

Because I am certain I had nothing to do with any violation of any of their rules I appealed.

After the appeal I got a non explanatory email back that says absolutely nothing except quote their terms and policies and that “Please bear in mind that subsequent or duplicate appeals may not be considered and you may not receive any further communication from us. We appreciate your understanding.”

Well – I never earned anything from them – so it is no big loss (I think). Except that I spent a lot of time including their ads on many of my sites and Blogs and I now have to spend a lot of time to remove it again. I have an idea that as soon as I did start earning anything they cancelled the account. I earned nothing and I “may not open a new account”.

So what did I waste all this time for?

I feel like a kid who got a hiding and have no idea why. I feel like somebody threw the Bible at me and said I gave you a hiding because you did something wrong in this Bible. Prey – what did I do wrong where and how?

Maybe you can learn from my experience:
1 Read the Google Adsense terms and conditions over and over and over.
2 Get a lawyer to explain it all to you.
3 Only then spend your time to add google Adsense ads to any of your sites
Because if you do something wrong – they will simply close your account without supplying the real reason.

I apologize for crying on this forum but I simply had to get it off my chest.
