It is not rumor, it is true that Google has again disabled adsense ads on DP Forum – one of the most popular forum for million webmasters. Many comments and feedbacks on the announcement published by DP owner about A 3rd Party CAN Get You Banned From AdSense. All comments and feedbacks were on DP side and most of them criticized Google support system which seemed worst among networks.
According to that announcement, I have learnt that DP Forum has served nearly 1 billions impressions for Google and at least referred 200 new adwords advertisers to Google but what happened? DP Forum has again banned. No phone contact available provided just email and forum support. Therefore, I can myself assume that not only small & medium sites but also bigggggggg sites can be victim of Google policies.
Frankly, Google has sent 30 warnings and alerts to DP Forum regarding its allowed sites which were not owned or in affiliation with DP Forum as stated below:
In the last month, we received 30 warnings for running AdSense ads on non-compliant websites (gambling related). These are sites that I don’t own, have no affiliation with, nor do I know who the owner is. I have no idea why someone would want to use my AdSense publisher ID on their site, but I guess that’s beside the point really. AdSense allows you to set a whitelist of your sites just so this doesn’t cause problems. We have used this whitelist for a long time (since we first heard about it), and none of these gambling related sites were on our whitelist.
After reading this, I myself can adjust that the “allowed sites” of Google Adsense still has some problems. Why? In principle, if you set allowed sites in the list, that means only these allowed sites can show up adsense ads. If someone take DP Forum Adsense PUB ID and put on their sites, the ads would not show up at all. However, Google still disabled DP Forum because of this. So, it showed us that Google “allowed sites” did not function properly.
Anyway, it is fine now after nearly a week of termination as confirmed by DP:
Jul 21 @ 4:50 pm – I just noticed AdSense ads were working here again. I checked my email and no notice from Google about it. I tried logging into my AdSense account to see if I could access it now, and I *am* able to log in now… so I guess it was reversed. {shrug} Also, I just double checked how many impressions we’ve served up, and it wasn’t quite 1B… as of right now it’s 891,208,757 to date. I was also able to confirm that the Allowed Sites whitelist was (and always has been) enabled for my account as I thought.
After reading this article, you should be careful with your adsense account. Try to use “allowed sites” feature as an evidence just in case Google accidentally disable your account. DP Forum had good evidence to show with Google and that could be a good reason to get unbanned within a week. Good lesson for us too.
Thanks for your reading my first article as guest blogger here.
