I had about 12 domains once and decided to park them as I was busy, set them all up on adsense, went to all the domains to make sure they all worked, a couple I refreshed a few times as it wasn't working properly.
The next day I got an email saying my adsense was closed for 'fake views / clicks', no way to challenge it or anything.
That was like 10 years ago. I still can't use adsense to this day.
- sethammons 6y agoseems like an easy option for Google would be to set a blocklist of IPs for generating revenue, including the IP used to create the account. Users could add others with the big scary label of "prevent us from banning you, list IPs here that you use" that defaults to your current IP.
- philliphaydon 6y agoMaybe they do something like that now. This was ~10 years ago. @BiteCode_dev's comment resonated with me because it happened to me. There wasn't a warning or anything, just an email terminating my account. Slowly trying to disconnect everything away from google.
- paulcarroty 6y agoSimilar story, got an email "your account was blocked, nobody cares, we're so sorry". Yet another reason to avoid Google services.
- NullPrefix 6y agoYou can already do that on your website. Check if client IP matches and then don't print JS that loads ads
- philliphaydon 6y agoFor parked domains you can't tho, you point the domains to google adsense.
- NullPrefix 6y agoYeah, that's correct. Initially I thought that you can control html on the parked domain.
- syshum 6y agoI dont know how to do it effectively but domain Parking should be disallowed. Use the domain, or let some one else.
- philliphaydon 6y agoI had ideas for the domains. Just no time to do it. In the end I let them go. I have 3 ones. Blog. And 2 in progress projects. I didn’t squat them. Parking for future use is ok to me. Squatting for profit i don’t agree with.
- clarry 6y agoI got my gmail once suspended for 'suspicious activity' after I sent two messages to my home server to test its configuration. (Both mails bounced because the config wasn't right) I haven't been able to trust gmail with anything important after that.
- adventurer 6y agoI had my adsense shut down on YouTube after fraudulent clicks in less than a year and less than 50 cents in revenue. Figure that one out, too.
