Thank You AdSense
-----------------------------------
Hi all,
I have a great news for you... I have been banned from AdSense project, so no more Google Ads on this site.

The reason? Well... I would like to know it as well. They have just said that my site "could damage publishers"... nothing more.

I tried also to appeal, but they just copied and pasted again the same email... my site "could damage publishers"!

I guess the real reason is that this month I doubled the revenues (because of the new release of Icy Phoenix and because of the extra traffic due to phpbb3 themes I released) and they just don't want to pay that. No matter if I didn't click the banners...


I guess that if you hate someone and he is having AdSense you can just visit his site and start to click on his banner, so you will get him banned...


I'm really sad for what happened and now I have to look for an alternative way to earn something to keep the whole thing up. I didn't earn too much (less than 400 euros last year), but at least enough to repay all expenses for the domains I own and related to this project.


Anyway... life goes on... I will find an alternative way, hopefully something not invasive, because I don't like too many ads... :sad:


[color=#DD2222]EDIT
I want to stress that I'm not writing this because I need money... I don't want you to make donations because of this. I just want you to know what happened, maybe this can be useful for some of you and you can avoid being banned... Anyway I will go further into this with extra actions and I let you know...[/color]
