Google AdSense

I've never made any money from my websites and probably never will especially this one because of it's content. I did have a Google AdSense account for about the last 8 years. I used it on my rock bands website http://manymore.net/ and I also used it for 2 years on my internet radio website http://manymoreradio.net/ until we ran out of money. The licences to have a legal internet radio station cost far more than we could ever make from advertising.

On those other two websites in all of that time the ads were in a box entitled 'Ads'. In most of that time there was a note in the ad box saying please click on the ads as they are our only source of income.

When I started http://yufo.co.uk/ in late February 2011, I set up a new AdSense campaign and did exactly what I'd done for the last 8 years. I put the ads in a box on the website with a note saying please click on the ads as they are out only source of income.

On the 14th March 2011, I got an email from adSense that said "During a recent review of your account we found that you are currently displaying Google ads in a manner that is not compliant with our program policies" then later explained that it was because I was "ENCOURAGING CLICKS". Then it said "Please make all necessary changes in the next 72 hours". So I thought what an idiot I was for not reading the terms and conditions and I immediately removed the text asking people to click on the ads. I even removed the title word Ads from the top of the box. I did that on all three websites even though the email had only mentioned the http://yufo.co.uk/ website.

On the 23rd March 2011 I received an email from them saying my Adsense account had been disabled and the money given back to the advertisers. Astonished, I filled out their appeal form and then had to wait a week for a reply. When the reply came on the 28th March 2011, it said "After thoroughly re-reviewing your account data and taking your feedback into consideration, our specialists have confirmed that we're unable to reinstate your AdSense account".

I've just looked at the visitor counts for my two other websites, the bands website visitor count is up to 110622 and the radio station visitor count got up to 92783 before it closed down. The http://yufo.co.uk/ website counter is only up to 5203 as I'm writing this.

I can only conclude it's a Google AdSense policy not to have their ads on controversial websites or that someone personally at Google AdSense doesn't like the content of the http://yufo.co.uk/ website. Maybe they just don't believe in UFOs. Maybe I've offended them by including a video that links UFOs with the Bible. Maybe the mention of 9/11 was too much for them. I don't know. I never intend to offend anyone.

The strange thing is that they've disabled my AdSense account that earned me a few pence a year but they still want me to keep an AdWords account and still send me emails asking me to give them pounds and pounds to advertise http://yufo.co.uk/ on Google. Well they can forget that. What hypocrites!

There is information out there that most people do not know about or simply don't want to know about. If it's not on the telly, if it's not in the news papers, if it's not in OK magazine and if it's generally thought of as ridiculous they don't want to know and get offended. (See the RANT below.) I think the site has offended someone at Google AdSense.
