Blogging Must Go On
I have done contemplating, analyzing, even grumbling about my Adsense account being disabled all of a sudden. I tell you, it isn’t a welcome sight when you visit your site with some elements totally blank one morning. The worst is when you check your email and find out from a reliable sender the cause of the empty spaces in your site. Yes, you heard me right – my Adsense account has been disabled since 22nd December, just so you know why my Google ads spaces went blank.
I had no idea how this small site could pose a risk to advertisers and other publishers when I haven’t even got a single cent after running Adsense for four years. I even seldom check my account and as far as I can remember, my earnings have only reached $42 the last time I peeked on it which was about two months ago. I don’t know how much it was when the account was disabled. I have done all the readings about this situation and I’m not hoping anymore for a reinstatement.
When I clicked the link to submit an appeal it led me to a page where it explains why the account was disabled. It’s about invalid clicks, redirecting, requesting someone to click your ads, blah, blah. And did I perform invalid clicks on my own ads? Request someone to click my ads? Not that I remember. I admit I was tempted to click an ad but that was a long time ago and I didn’t do it again because I was completely aware of this “clicking” policy. I visited the forums site to get a clear view of the matter and somehow, my sadness had alleviated when I found out that I was not alone in the clamour against this act.
Well, what can I do more? Blogging must go on. If I am a victim of click bombing, I don’t know yet. And if there’s somebody doing this to my sites must be a glad nitwit by now. I won’t be lurking or sobbing because of this. Well, not forever, just a couple of days more. Adsense makes my heart grow fonder? Hardly. I better finish reading “The Lost Symbol” (by Dan Brown) than pondering over my lost Adsense.
My First Google Payment
Last week, when I logged-in to my Google account to setup a new AdSense script for my site, I was surprised to read a message in the overview page that my “payments is being onhold” and I was asked to register a payment method in order to get paid. Caught in disbelief, I checked how much did I earn. Then I was surprised to see $2.30 as payments being on hold. Unbelievable to me! I followed a link that led me to choose a payment method. Luckily, Sweden is one of those listed countries they support Electronic Fund Transfer so I didn’t have to sign-up for payment by check and then wait a couple of days before it gets into my hands.
After I registered my bank account, a message told me that they were going to do a test deposit, which means they would deposit a small amount and I had to check my bank account within 4-10 days so that I could verify afterwards if I got it or not. I could barely wait ten days so I checked my bank account after four days. And presto! I got the Google Adsense Payment of 7,16 sek. I was sooo glad I forgot to verify the amount. But when I woke up the next day, I remembered the message and rushed to my computer station and performed the necessary action.
It was just a small amount but the joy of earning it is unbelievably surprising. I started putting up Google Adsense two years ago. But the intention was not to earn but to add some contents to my site. Besides, I did not put up those 700+ pixel wide banners so how could I expect a payment. I remember how I usually click some Google ads that interest me when I am visiting some sites, and the value it generates to the site’s owner. So now I know it’s not impossible to earn from Google Adsense. It’s a good compensation for computer nerds who can spend sitting in front of the computer the whole day, like me
