I only wish I had seen it sooner. As of April 13th, Google has also disabled my account and is keeping my $85 in their hands. There should be some kind of repercussions for companies that run shady businesses. I will move onto companies that I can trust. .-= Karen´s last blog ..<a href="http://savingthefamilymoney.com/google-adsense-let-me-down/" rel="nofollow">Google Adsense Let Me Down</a> =-.

Really, they have abused my trust. Seems they edit content without telling you and now this. I refuse to support unethical behavior. SO, I will redouble my effort to NEVER use google again.

How can they get away with stuff like that!! If you can't contact them and they can't explain then it seems fishy to me! That is horrible! How can they get away with stuff like that!!

Just watch out! It may come time to pay you and they will cancel your account. You might find some better paying advertising for that spot on your site! It's worth a shot! Carol,

We have a local news station here that does a segment "Fox 6 on your side" they take situations like this and help you get your money back then they make a segment about it and post it on the news. You would think you could trust a big name company like Google to do the right thing. Wow! Get a bunch of bloggers on this one could really hurt! Sorry it happened Amanda! But thanks for sharing. .-= Jenny´s last blog ..<a href="http://www.savingucents.com/2010/03/kids-bowl-free.html" rel="nofollow">Kids Bowl FREE!</a> =-. I think that is a great idea Katie!

I have a suggestion, though. I think you should email your blog post to your local newspaper and news stations. See if anyone will run your story. a) It will get the message out re Google Adsense, and b) it will show the public (and Google's consumers and advertisers) that Google is not operating trustworthy business.

There is a "supposed" appeals process, but after some research, if you get disabled, you are basically banned for life from Google Adsense. I am sorry that this happened to you, but you are right for getting the word out there. I was banned before I even knew much about advertising. I think everyone should do a lot of research before starting with Google Adsense or any advertising. They should make using it harder than just a few clicks on Blogger, that is for sure. Many bloggers use it without knowing about it, which leads to the problem I had. .-= Shelly´s last blog ..<a href="http://www.mycouponteacher.com/2010/03/bargain-meal-of-week-at-harris-teeter_21.html" rel="nofollow">Bargain Meal of the Week at Harris Teeter</a> =-.
