Google disabled Adsense for one of my domains because in a Forum on that domain a user explains what a "blow job" is. Which is related to a movie the discussion is about. The forum in question does not contain adsense adverts and the domain is not at all related to adult topics. They blocked the whole domain anyhow. Giving that one Forum page as the reason. Even though the domain has tons of content and thousands of other discussions.
I appealed but only got a generic reply not related to the situation.
So what does that mean? No adsense if anywhere on your domain there is a forum?
- vlasta2 14y agoIt seems like I am in a similar situation - having a site with user submitted icons and mouse cursors. And I got an email informing me they will not show ads on that site. The page mentioned in the email contained an icon of the "pedobear"... (see wikipedia) Oh, Google...
- whileonebegin 14y agoNot to turn this into a "Google banned my Adsense account" thread, because there are plenty of those on the DP forums etc, but I had the same thing happen for an equally absurd reason. Google mysteriously banned my account because someone on the same IP apparently got their account banned due to a domain expiring. The whole thing makes no sense. I've even heard horror stories of someone moving into an apartment where the prior owner had his Adsense account banned (through coincidence, both tenants were webmasters), and upon the new tenant logging into his Adsense account from the new apartment's IP address, his account was subsequently banned, by relation. I'm surprised Google is able to continue making money when so many web sites are outright banned for no just-cause. Then again, income from Adsense has dropped substantially over recent years, so I'm not sure how many users still click those ads.
