I wrote this post about last week ago and currently published to my blog. By at the time, I do not decide to submit this article to any articles directory simply because this write-up appear give bad impression to some party. However following I have reviewed and created alterations to this article, I've changed my thoughts that I make a decision to submit this article. The reason I did it is to giving the real story of what is actual occurred to some publishers.
Ahead of I go additional, I would like to specify what is the which means of SCAM is. Based to my understanding, SCAM can be referred to the monetary cheat or monetary fraudulent, in which they promise you to pay but at the finish you won't get the pay.
So is the Google AdSense program is a SCAM?
Initial of all I would like to explain what is the Google AdSense system. Referring to the Google internet site, "Google AdSense is a no cost, straightforward way for website publishers of all sizes to earn cash by displaying targeted Google ads on their sites. AdSense also lets you supply Google search to your web site users, while earning funds by displaying Google advertisements on the search final results pages."

Based on the definition by Google of what is their AdSense. It is clear stated that the system is free of charge and easy way for internet site publisher of all sizes to earn cash. I would like to emphasize the word "Cash" or to earn "Money" is can be categorized as an economic plan that will pay out income.
I do not want go additional on their Policies and T.O.S as I will concentrate it in my second article on this concern on aspect two.
So go to the question. Is Google AdSense program is a SCAM?
Before I answered this question, following study all the participants and internet publishers on this program and also from various forums included Google AdSense forum. I can concluded that this Google AdSense program have some trick of SCAM sort. Beneath is my consideration of why I am saying that:
1. Numerous complained that when their payment reached threshold E.G or near to the threshold, Google will disable their account.
2. Google disabled their publishers account soon after VERIFIED for payment. When account is VERIFIED, the publishers are entitled for payment. I am not positive why Google AdSense Report shown as "Verified". But at the end, it is so suspiciously that "disabling account" happened when it come virtually to the payment period.
3. If there are suspicious activities by publishers, then why their account is VERIFIED for payment. The annoying point is that Google hasn't explained why this happened right after the verification procedure. So basically today you give hope, and then tomorrow you killed the hope.
4. Account disabled without ANY PRIOR Notice OR WARNING. The publishers need to be warned or informed if Google detected that there are any suspicious activity on their internet site(s). With no any prior notice or warning, so any person can go to your web site(s) and clicks hundreds even thousands of time on your ads in your web site in order your account will be disabled by Google. Who understands these "malicious users"? Also individuals can sabotage you by clicking your advertisements thousands time. Then you will get notification message from Google AdSense Team informed that your account is disabled. It is just like that.
five. And following the account is disabled, most saying that the probability to get back the account is almost impossible. So sadly publishers by no means got any payment, never ever got the second chance.
6. Most instances, Google AdSense will disable the participants account in the little quantity, which is around threshold payment roughly about USD to . Yes, it is easy to disable account for this amount given that everyone understands (included Google) that it is not worth to employ a lawyer to get back this quantity.
7. Google has term "Prior approval" technique, but do not have "Prior Warning on suspicious activity". So Google basically punished you even though you are innocent. So anyone or malicious user can go to your internet site and clicks hundreds even thousands of time on ads in your web website in order your account will be disabled by Google. Anybody can produce robots, and attack to any targeted site which has adsense advertisements and clicks thousands of time in order their account will be "DISABLED". Nevertheless Google has the correct as publishers agreed to their T.O.S.
8. Google says the internet site breaking the Google adsense policy due to the fact in the publishers do not have "Privacy Policy" on their web site(s) that imposed by Google. It is so cruel to disabled the publishers account by just not having a "Privacy Policy" term in their web web site. If this breaking of Google AdSense policies, why the AdSense advertisements seem on their website(s). Why the clicks come from this web site also calculated and verified? This is clear a trap to punished publishers. Appropriate method is Google ought to cancelled out all the clicks come from the site(s) that do not followed the policies and NOT to disabled their accounts. The punishment is totally harsh. Google is so Cruel in enterprise and seem like just concerned to find mistake and disabled account so not to pay to their publishers.
9. Google says they have fantastic tracking system, if they really have the great tracking method, then they must attached the "outcome of their tracking" to the participants e-mail as a proved that there are a suspicious activity happened. Not just simply message notification like that below:
"Following reviewing our records, we've determined that your AdSense account poses a risk of producing invalid activity. Since we have a responsibility to protect our AdWords advertisers from inflated costs due to invalid activity, we've observed it needed to disable your AdSense account. Your excellent balance and Google's share of the income will each be totally refunded to the affected advertisers."
Note:* E mail message from Google AdSense Team
10. The above message emailed by Google AdSense Team to their respective publishers informed that their AdSense account is disabled. It is accomplished without any CLEAR Reason, without any attachment(s) or document(s) to support the decision. Claiming that they have fantastic tracking program but nevertheless Mr Google do not show at least visitors log for suspicious activity to their respective publishers. So any person can basically emailing message like that. Blaming is effortless matter with no proof.
11. In the easy message, the Google AdSense team stated that
"Following reviewing our records, we've determined that your AdSense account poses a danger of creating invalid activity."
Herewith, Google Adsense Team ought to have responsible to attach of the document(s) or info (at least traffic log for suspicious activity) to their respective publishers so that to assistance their determination. Not just blindly disabled the participants account. Once more Google nonetheless has the right of doing so as stated in their T.O.S.
12. The punishment has been produced without having any supportive document(s) and attachment(s) supplied to the publishers. Publishers account automatically "Disabled". But Google nonetheless has the proper of performing so as the publishers agreed to their T.O.S.
13. Claiming that they have great tracking program, but nevertheless they unable to filter "Spam Clicks" for their personal program.
14. Google plays God here - sorry, we can't tell you why you are guilty and we don't require to prove it to you. Very good bye. Is this statement included in Google T.O.S or policies? Not certain.
"You are Guilty but We will not Inform You Why"
So based on the above cause, I can concluded that, Google AdSense plan have some trick of SCAM kind. I am not entirely stated that Google AdSense is a SCAM but but they have some trick of SCAM sort.
The publishers are seriously facing the threat that their account will be banned at anytime with no any clear cause. The trick is just hiding behind their policies and T.O.S. This is a trick to not pay out funds to publishers and can be observed as a trick of SCAM type. Just by saying "your AdSense account poses a danger of generating invalid activity".
