I think I loosed out on a lot of money. I have not checked my feeds for a long time and now I see that many of them are broken. I was trying them and I saw that they all had problem.

Apparently there is a problem with Word Press 2.5 and after you need to do the following and it will work again.

1. Deactivate Feedsmith Plugin
2. Log into Feedburner.
3. Choose “Edit Feed Details”
4. Where it says “original feed”, put: “http://www.yoursite.com/feed” (DO NOT USE A TRAILING SLASH!*)
5. Save feed details
6. Go to the “troubleshootize” tab. Choose “Resync” [Don't know if this is necessary but I did it anyway.]
7. Go back to your WordPress admin page and turn the Feedsmith plugin back on

Did it work for you? Let me know i help if i can.

Google Adsense have really done a PayPal now and made it impossible for people to contact them. Sure I understand them they have lots of people asking stupid question all the time but they need to make some things clear.

The Google forums are just a place for spam and should be turned into a place for people with Adsense accounts only and if you spam you are banned.

Even if you get an answer from the Google forums how can you trust this is the right one? Nobody I know want to risk their accounts getting kicked of Google since most sites depends on Google Adsense survive.

Google sometimes complains that some sites are crap but they have done this to themselves since they created Adsense people will do anything and any site to get the money from Google.

So they have created some kind of power vacuum where people are to afraid to criticize. Google Adsense has just gone to big to fast and MSN and Yahoo is to far behind.

Google Adsense will close the Google Adsense affiliate program that has not given me any money way but maybe other will feel the pinch.

I think it has played out its role because most people know what Google Adsense is now anyway and Google Adsense can not control all the people sign up they have no way to check the different names and addresses.

So it is time to get your favorite coder and ask them to take away all the referral codes you have on the website.

Nothing will happen if you not take it away but you will not get paid for any referrals after August 2008. If you for some reason need the statistic you need to download it because it will also be deleted from the accounts.

You can never have a URL that has a name that is copyrighted to Google if you want to use Adsense in any form. That means that word like Google, Adsense, Adword, Google Map and many more are forbidden to bed used as or in connection with the URL.

We have a Google Blog and on the blog we used Google Adsense for about 1 year. After that we got banned and I thought it was we changed the design to look more like Google but after we sent them an email asking them about they said you can never have a Google name in your Url.

Your Innocence

First off all do not bother to say you are innocent of you are not. There is no point fighting for something that is not true. This is not a court and Google will answer you with loads of standard letters if you persist.

If you are innocent then you must understand that Google is very strict when it comes to the policy of Google Adsense. They need to protect the Google Adword customers. If you belief of innocence’s if strong there is nothing that should stop you to appeal to Google.

Use Goggle to get help

The first thing you can do is find out the reason why you are banned. When you the reason ask Google once more if they can pinpoint what made the ban you.
When you know the full reason you can start searching for people that been in the same situation and what they did. You can use forums like Digital Point or just do a normal search on Google. “I got banned from Adsense” will give you a lot of tips.

Be nice

You have to be nice to Google. They will for sure answer you with standard letters the first time but if you make a really good case then be very polite to them if the answer anger you and you not get the answer you want.

Take time

To appeal this kind of thing it will take time. Google will send you standard letters for most of the time but you just have to hang in there and put forward your case. Do not let your whole internet business go down because of Google Adsense Banned you there are other options as well.

They are a big company and they also need to check everything before they can answer you. A staff can not just put you back on he will be answering to all the Adwords customers.

Some people ask me how I actually make money with having so many websites. Well for me its more a hobby and a side line work. I have not actually made enough money only to have as much money as I want per day and I am not sure I will actually quit once I get that amount either. I think it is fun to create website and I will continue doing it.

I do not make huge money with AdSense maybe I make 4000 $ a year something like that.
In one year I also made about 5000 $ writing blogs so I guess that’s more profitable then Google Adsense but off course it is much more work.

For people that have a lot of free time and can live on 5000 $ a year then I really suggest you get writing and keep the Adsense money as an extra income. You can find the companies that gave me 5000 $ in the right column of this blog.

If you looking for a cheap hosting to serve your blogs then I suggest and please use this code to get an extra 25 GB space.

Coupon “getpaid”

Some Google Adsense users might think it’s a brilliant idea to buy traffic to theirs domains. Those people can not be more wrong, Google Adsense will detect your little scam and if you lucky you get a warning if you unlucky you get your Google Adsense account banned.

Nobody can tell you if you just a get a warning or not but if you are new user to Adsense the risk is off course bigger you get your account banned.

An email from Google Adsense might look something like this and if you look at the email it will clearly tell you not to buy traffic.

The business with creating proxy really took speed in the end of last year. People were creating proxy account with server and script for less then $5. Some people still make money with proxy sites and Adsense but not as much before.

I am really amazed that Google Adsense still approve of proxy site sine they can be used to visit some very nasty sites. It think its only a time before Adsense block them.

But for you that want to jump on the proxy train there is a backside that need to be looked after as well.

The Google Adsense ads on the proxy pay very badly
Most of the traffic is from Arab or china
You have to have a dedicated server that allows proxy and it will eat bandwidth
You are also not allowed to put the banners on the “surf site” of the proxy the ads can only be on the first page.
