Just got an email from google and my adsense account has been flagged as non-compliant with their policies. I've got 72 hours to find essentially every inappropriate thread and delete them or my account will be disabled.

VIOLATION(S) FOUND:

COMMENT SPAM: As stated in our program policies, AdSense publishers may

serving will not be affected. If changes are not made and/or other policy
violations are encountered during the review process, ad serving will be
disabled to your site.

ACCOUNT STATUS: ACTIVE

Your AdSense account remains active. However, if we continue to find
problems, we may disable your entire account. Therefore, we suggest that
you take the time to review the rest of your network to ensure that all of
your other pages are in compliance with our policies.

Welcome to the reason I don't do AdSense. Google can be very persnickety about content.

Shhhhhh. Don't say a word.... The G o o g l e spiders are listening and reporting back to the mother spider.


I knew them little f u c k e r s were up to no good. I always thought of them as a bad case of Justin's crabs.

I suggest we kill them with fire.

The way the contract of AdSense is worded, basically everyone violates it.

If they do end up canning your account, you'll just have to start charging $12/year.

It's where he gets the ads on the site, and I'm assuming it helps Justin cover the cost of running the site.

I believe (and Justin, correct me if I'm wrong) AdSense pays per click, so each time someone clicks an ad, he earns a few cents.

Google can be your best friend when it comes to earning some decent coin on the Interwebz, but being the biggest, they're also very picky about what they require.

Actually, that IS probably how their attention was directed to the site.
