How I got back on Adsense

I hear I'm one of few people EVER who got back on adsense after getting kicked off. I hear this method is not working for others, but it's worth a try.

I'm not a fan of the way this is handled but thankful to be back on. First off, I had someone back me who makes Google a lot of money. He wrote first, vouching for me.

Often you get kicked off because of click fraud and its often out of your control (I'll blog about a tool that can help you detect when it happens though).

After my friend wrote a letter, I wrote a letter with the information requested, and was back on the next day.

I emailed adsense-adclicks-appeal@google.com with the details below:

- My name

- My company's name (if applicable)

- My publisher ID number (located in the AdSense code on your website
with the format, pub-################)

- My website's URL

I also explained how I didn't knowingly break any rules. I gave them a little about why I wanted back on. I make so little I have no incentive to commit fraud. Once I accidently clicked on my own ad (I clicked my mouse & it was near the ad space) and it scared me! It seems too arbitrary. I hope this changes. It's not fair that someone else (even well-meaning) could permanently shut you out of this great revenue stream.
