Google Adsense Account Disabled

I hit a speed bump in my blogging because Google disabled my Adsense account. Although it's not the main reason why I am blogging, I won't deny that I love seeing some ads in my site as it make the page appear busier and active. I was religiously blogging and happily watching "My Stats" that told me I was being read in many parts of the world already. But that was true only until the day Google decided I was a cheat and therefore they should confiscate my meager $25 earnings.

I was so disheartened and appealed my case but Google said: "After reviewing our records, we've determined that your AdSense account poses a risk of generating invalid activity. Because we have a responsibility to protect our AdWords advertisers from inflated costs due to invalid activity, we've found it necessary to disable your AdSense account. Your outstanding balance and Google's share of the revenue will both be fully refunded back to the affected advertisers."

That really sucks and I really felt like I was being crushed by a giant. But no amount of despairing would help and I miss blogging, so, with some reluctance I type this piece to hopefully get me back in the saddle, even without Adsense around.

My two cents worth

I started this blog December 2009 and, so far, it's the longest one that I've kept alive! I probably have two other blogs gathering web in the...err..web :)

I like this blog now and for the first time, too, I thought I should also try earning something out of it. I've heard and read a lot about how people earn a good living writing blogs. I don't think it's the route I'll take to very early retirement, yet imagine how tickled I was when my Adsense account got activated and soon enough I earned my first two cents!! Yipee!! Maybe it's a give-away amount from Google, I don't know. But whoever clicked today to give me my milestone two cents, thank you so much!!


Cheers!
