Thread: Adsense Makes No damn Sense

Adsense is very poorly managed, and even so it makes google billions.

If google is so concerned about what sites it list its ads on it surely does not show it.

Why give webmasters vague and ambiguous terms of service and poorly written and non-explanatory guidelines for us not to break.

How are we going to know what not to do if you do not even tell us.

Quick fix, instead of frustrating webmasters by having them apply, be approved just to be banned. This is a waste of both webmaster time, google's time, and waste of resources and servers.

Why not prior to us applying to your dumb adsense program, allow webmasters to submit every single URL to every single one of their pages and have google spend some of the revenue it makes from adwords and actually pay some to manually review site content and structure prior to applying for the program.

Then gives us some feedback on what will ban us prior to us even having your dumb ads on our site.

This way people know right off the bat whether or not their site is worthy of showing google ads.

WE MUST DEMAND TRANSPARENCY FROM GOOGLE IN ORDER FOR THINGS TO CHANGE

Google uses the worst Black Hat tactics there are around, yet they see themselves as high and mighty. Wish I could slap google of that high horse and let them fall into feces.

My belief is that they are using us webmasters for their own gain, we are their child laborers not getting paid for promoting them. The reason they accept everyone just to ban you right as soon as you are close to actually getting paid is so that they don't have to pay you. Then justify it saying you violated TOS, yet they never give you a legal document in writing specify exactly what term you violated.

Even for that short amout of time that google ads run on your site prior to being banned, they are still making money off of them while you are not. Also why the hell do you have to wait to get paid.

I i get 5 cents in 1 day, i want access to my damn 5 cents at the end of that same day.

They think that they are slick and make you wait an entire month to accumulate whatever amount they specify before paying you, then at last minute give you the ban.

That money is not returned to the advertisers, because they advertisers got what they want which was that single click from you page that "supposedly got you banned"

They are bastards I am telling you.issy:

They do it on purpose come on people realize this and you will be free.

I only use AdSense as passive income. It doesn't count as one of my top revenue sources. By looking at it that way, I don't have to rely on it. Instead, I consider it to be a little something extra on the side.

Because there are too many publishers to do that. They would spend all of their AdWords profits on hiring people to moderate. I think they have mods but probably can only have so many.

All good points Vectro, yea if Google were to pay some people to manually check sites prior to signing up for adsense, it would definately cut into Google's massive income/profit, however I truly feel that that would make the overall adsense program better for everyone.

This could also serve as a deterrent, because spammers would know prior to applying that a real person is actually going to review their site. Also it would prevent people from being permanently banned from the Adsense program just because of the nature of google poorly informing or stating to webmasters what is wrong and what is right in "their" eyes. (Emphasis on "Theirs")

Right now, I am not using any kind of advertising either for marketing my site or monetizing site. This is my plan sometime in the future, but I can see what you mean. By me not relying on Adsense for income at this moment, I can actually invest the time that I need into fixing and optimizing my site prior to applying for adsense or any other similiar service.

It just frustrates me how I do not even use adsense, yet I still have to be actively conscience about it if it is my intention to eventually use Adsense for profit.

This is the reason why I was thankful Google banned my account.. Now I have time in more useful and profitable things..

I've been using Adsense since 2001. And guess...I'm pretty happy about my earnings.
