Google AdSense Cancelling Accounts
May 19, 2007 – 11:15 am
I'm not usually one for simply just linking to others posts, well not the top industry bloggers, however this just caught my eye and figured it was worth the link through - JenSense reports about Google cancelling AdSense accounts. There's no official word apparently, however so far it appears that it's mainly affecting MFA sites and those doing a bit of arbitrage work.
We've not had anything through yet, and to be fair our AdSense is used on a variety of sites, however there's still a thought. Of course this reconfirms the 'don't rely solely on AdSense' which we don't. But it would be a blow to lose.
So anyone had an email yet?

This teaches a lesson. Never be Dependant on a single source of income, especially if its Adsense. I did this mistake and my account was deactivated. For 6 months I was unable to get a single pay check from any company. Now I have income from 6 sources and thank Google for deactivating my account, because I didn't know how much more money is out there. I was just focusing on Adsense, and that is what most Webmasters do.

I didn't lose my AdSense account however I had the site deindexed that was making the $100 a month in it which was almost just as bad. However I did watch my housemate have his account suspended for a week, and during that time my research to help him made me realise how you do need to look at other streams too. Luckily there are so many PPC programs out there now you can easily swap one for the other. Okay, AdSense is probably the best earning but it's all better than nothing.
There are plenty of other opportunities and money making methods to use on your site these days to not need to depend on AdSense.
