I too lost my Google Adsense account exactly when I had reached the minimum quantitiy to be able to get a paycheck, they banned me and kept my 100 €, which took me months of doing SEO, writting content, and much more. So what I have been trying lately, is contacting directly clients that might be interested in placing an ad on my website, maybe we need some sort of a new social network for people to sell ad spots on their websites.

Could you sue locally in small claims court?

  no. When you signed up to adsense you agreed to binding arbitration using a firm of Google's choice in Mountain View, CA, USA.

Selling ad spots on your website yourself has many drawbacks: * It's time consuming for the seller and buyer. * You need to give the buyer reliable statistics. Page-Views, Click-Trough rate, demographics and what not, before and after you sell the ad spot. * You need to define the price, which is not that simple. * You need to provide the technical means to manage and display the ads. * You need to prevent abuse. * You need a contract for each buyer. * The buyer needs to trust you. * You need to trust the buyer. I think that ship has long sailed. It would be tremendously cool, if there was some kind of self-hostable ad software, which takes care of the technical details and would act as middle man, connecting buyers and sellers. Some kind of open marketplace based on open software. But I doubt, this will ever happen. Would be a cool thing to disrupt the current industry though.

  What things does this software need to care of like logging clicks, ip address, geolocation, ctr etc?

    Just take a look at the google ads API to get an impression about all metrics you can get from an ad [1]. It's frightening detailed and complex. [1] https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/fields/v2/metrics https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/fields/v2/metri...

  Or you do it like Pieter Levels with RemoteOK/Nomadlist and simply say: these are traffic stats for my website, you can buy a listing or ad space here, it’s going to cost X. Here is a Stripe pay button if you want. If you post shitty ads that violate what I have in mind with my website, I will ban you forever.

  I once developed data backup software and paid $500/mo to website owner who had great blog articles on backup tools and technologies to put on my gif banner ad. This was win-win for all. I made tons of sales from there. So my suggestion is to work not on website that is good for ads, but on website that is good to deliver information and answers on questions. Ads and referral sales will come after that.

I ran ads for over a year and was suddenly banned on YouTube with less than a dollar accumulated in my account.

Intersting that they have banned you while you didn't force your visitors to click on ads. And here is an app that asks their users to click on ads and is still not banned https://redd.it/bjl5qs https://redd.it/bjl5qs
