Reinstated to Google AdSense – 3 Years Later
It finally happened. And who said hell wouldn’t freeze over? Google kindly reinstated my AdSense account after banning me 3 years ago for apparent invalid click activity. In a post I wrote on January 18th, I basically gave a run down of events up until that point. Since then not much has happened until last week when I received an e-mail saying my account had been reinstated. I guess that appeal really did work. I don’t think ten minutes went by after receiving that e-mail that I already had ad units running on this blog. Hey, I’m a money maker – what can I say?
Many webmasters on the other hand are against AdSense completely. The fact is that I hadn’t even seen the inside of an AdSense account until 2005. Did you know they have YouTube video units now? Neat! And I’m sure you already knew that – my readers are smrt smart. I’ll probably be writing a post later on describing video units in detail, because they seem to be an excellent and interactive way to monetize your site. I’ll be experimenting with different ad formats and video units in the next few days to see what fits and performs best for me. 😎

Congrats. I am still waiting but anything I send to them just lands on deaf ears and they send the same dumb email they always send.
Invalid Clicking and you will never get re-instated.
Well I guess there might be hope but I certainly won’t hold my breath waiting for Google.
