Help HN: Cannot recover my Google Adsense because of single 1$ mistake
Dear HN,
I need your help on this issue, maybe by doing this I can catch attention of Google Adsense Team members.
In 2014 September, I have published an android app in play store (only one app, I don't have any other app) and in order to get experience and feel of AdMob I have created AdMob account for the first time, I haven't have any experience with it yet.
It worked roughly 1-2 month or less and made ~1USD, I haven't received it,
then suddenly got email about illegal activity and my account has been blocked. At that time I didn't know how to find who is making that illegal activity and appealed again. Team responded with block.
2015, November. I have unpublished my app from Google store.
Now 2016, I tried to appeal, but got rejected. because of almost 2years old,
beginner mistake now I am losing an opportunity to use Google AdSense forever.
I know Google seriously responds to illegal activity, but does Google Team think I did this thing intentionally? for 1USD? Maybe I tested my app 2-3times when I first integrated AdMob, maybe that was the reason for illegal activity, maybe some user intentionally created illegal activity.
Is this considered right losing lifetime opportunity just for 1USD, forever?
I hope someone will help with advice on this issue.

- gesman 11y agoGoogle adsense today is not what it was 10 yrs ago. You're not losing lifetime opportunity to use Google. You gaining clarity to discover better options.
- justhw 11y agoMy suggestion from extensive experience: move on. It's 2016 and there are better and highly competitive alternatives to Adsense. If you'd rather have Adsense, just apply for a new account with absolutely zero credential similarity to your previous account (this includes IP address, mail address etc...) Best,
