Google Loves Me Again
By admin | June 9, 2007
The unthinkable has happened!
Hello,
As you know, Google treats instances of invalid click activity very
seriously. We have reviewed your circumstances and have reinstated your
account, effective immediately. However, there will be a delay before ads
start running on your website. It may take up to 48 hours before all of
our servers are informed of the change.Thank you for clarifying your situation. We appreciate your patience, and
apologize for any inconvenience. If you have any questions, please feel
free to respond to this email.For your reference, you can find tips and guidelines for keeping your
account in good standing by visiting our Help Center at
https://www.google.com/support/adsense/bin/answer.py?answer=23921.Sincerely,
The Google AdSense Team
It seems all the money they owed me is still in the account and I can get it cashed now! Anyone want to buy Googlestolemymoney.com ?

Congratulations.
I wasn´t that lucky when they stole my money and banned me from AdSense. I received the e-mail about invalid clicks, but never a word about what it meant and what I could do about it, no warnings, no nothing.
But that´s a long time ago, and I have almost forgotten all about it

I do believe it’s rare for someone to get unbanned, I guess my politeness and willingness to cooperate paid off
June 9th, 2007 at 10:27 pm
That’s a good news
I am happy for you!

wow congrats bob
you had 50$ earned?
June 9th, 2007 at 11:49 pm
Hey that’s awesome news .. congrats!
June 9th, 2007 at 11:54 pm
Yeah it’s pretty amazing, from what I hear it’s virtually impossible to get your account reinstated.
it was over $100 they owed

Google got scared of your Google hate site! Good luck on selling it!
June 10th, 2007 at 1:36 am

100$ hopefully you can get your payment soon!

Gratz Bob!
June 10th, 2007 at 2:04 am
That is great news.. nice thing Google did such a turn!
June 10th, 2007 at 4:26 am
Congratulation.
Guess it is very rare to get unbanned. Actually it is the first time I heard it now.
June 10th, 2007 at 4:48 am
So Bob, tell us: are you going to start using them again?
June 10th, 2007 at 11:07 am
Yep, I must say that they are the easiest and most accurate contextual advertisers.
June 10th, 2007 at 12:40 pm
Sweet… nice to see things worked out for you
June 10th, 2007 at 6:36 pm
Could you elaborate on “willingness to cooperate”?
June 10th, 2007 at 8:15 pm
The Adsense folks have really gone out of their way to make implimenting their code on your site as easy as possible, an effort I appreciate.
It’s too bad they can’t let you set a specific size for their ads, though. Like say I want an ad exactly 136 pixels wide, so it fits exactly where I want it - can’t do it (or if I can, I haven’t found out where.)

What’s there to elaborate hoodmonkey? I’ve offered them my web server logs i they wanted them.
June 11th, 2007 at 10:10 pm
Wow. Congratulations. You are the first I have heard of to get unbanned. I am $5 away from my first $100 and I was getting nervous after I saw your situation. The two clicks my wife did one day I thought might get me banned or something.
Good to hear that their is a little mercy from Google. You have an awesome new domain though. I’m sure you can sell that for more than you bought it.

You really did need the patience bob. there are others who permanently blew their chances by angry remarks towards the adsense team..
Though these people did not click the ads on purpose.
June 17th, 2007 at 10:15 pm
Angry remarks get you nowhere in a situation like this

Well, I’m waiting to get paid the first time in a week or so. I hope there won’t be any problems with that.
I bet Google could sue your ass for using their company name in the domain Googlestolemymoney.com
Maybe you should get rid of it or Google might reban you again
