Google giveth, then Google taketh away. And then, Google giveth back again. Just as in the biblical story of Job, Google looked out across its user base and spoketh undo one who is a tempter, smiling and saying “lookth ye at my user base, how upright and righteous are they. Consider my user bshoemate.”
“Ha!” sayeth the tempter, “Take away his adsense account and he will curse and defame you!” And so Google did, accusing him of click fraud although he had done none. And in his confusion and despair he looked upon the face of Google and appealleth saying – “Why have you forsaken me?” But Google made no reply…
Long bshoemate suffered. And in darkness and despair, he looked at Yahoo, but that strange portal offered no comfort. He looked to MSN but found no solace there. He traveled to the mighty Amazon, but path was not straight, the language unclear, and lost he became.
But then, an email. “Could it be! Cahloo Cahla” he cotorted in his joy and he read the email subject aloud from his open window to the streets below: “[#249567499] Google AdSense Account Reinstated!” Sweet, sweet justice he thought.
So where are the fabled ads of yore? Has he not yet put the code back on his site? Surely he must have only commented it out. “Nah, I’m in no hurry” he said, and wiser and a wearier man he rose the morrow morn.
[…] See Update: Sweet sweet justice. Praise be to Google. […]
This is obviously one great post. Thanks for the valuable information and insights you have so provided here. Keep it up!
How long did it take the demi-god of the net to reinstate you at their beckon?
Good for you man..Until now Im struggling to send my appeal to reinstate my google adsense account….how many times did you sent your appeal?
If you can please explain what you did exactly to prove your innocence would help guide others. Expecting a detailed article from you to help others. Thanks in advance.
I followed the directions here:

a<https://www.google.com/adsense/support/bin/answer.py?answer=57153&hl=en_US>nd
submited an appeal. they never explained the reason, never told me
anything. Unfortunately I did not keep the exact wording of my appeal – but
I did explain that I have a router with multiple people on my same IP
address, a dynamic ip, and also that I did once click an ad in testing my
set up (oops).
I think the cardinal mistake is clicking your own ad even once while logged
into your google account. I also think they may do this once to EVERY
account to keep people honest. Like when the police pull people over just to
make sure “everything's ok” (ie remind you that they are watching).
I originally posted about it here:

Hi, my Google acct was disabled as well for unknown reason. Do you think in what way we appeal is the best?
