Google Ad(makes no)Sense
Today we received an email from Google AdSense letting us know they had disabled our AdSense account. The only explanation we got was that we were a “Significant risk to their AdWords advertisers”. Check out the full email.
Hello,
While going through our records recently, we found that your AdSense
account has posed a significant risk to our AdWords advertisers. Since
keeping your account in our publisher network may financially damage our
advertisers in the future, we’ve decided to disable your account.
Please understand that we consider this a necessary step to protect the
interests of both our advertisers and our other AdSense publishers. We
realize the inconvenience this may cause you, and we thank you in advance
for your understanding and cooperation.
If you have any questions about your account or the actions we’ve taken,
please do not reply to this email. You can find more information by

Sincerely,
The Google AdSense Team
Google’s email is cryptic to say the least. It would have been nice to at least know the specific violations we commited that put their advertisers at risk. Not only did they cancel our account but they also confiscated our AdSense earnings. I just don’t understand the draconian nature of their actions. If we did something that violated the TOS then tell us. If we knew what we did wrong I promise we would make it right. I did file an appeal and will keep you updated on our communication with Google.
