Ha if true, this is pretty crazy, the whole 'dont be evil' mantra turned upside down  Undecided

Google = wolf in sheeps costume

Google is the all-seeing-eye ... all part of the control system.  Working with government to squash crypto currencies. That's my 2 cents.

The revolution will be monetized!
Why are you putting words in Google's mouth? Google did not say this, they gave a real reason why your account was shut down.
Google has at least one full time employee who woks on bitcoin exclusively. Why? Is it to better destroy bitcoin?

Google does not have a blanket ban on Bitcoin sites with Adsense.

Google often is evil, there aren't really great alternatives in my opinion though.

Anonads, coinurl, and puppytwist seem to be almost all bot clicks. I'm curious to see if this is a common problem or if the people who got dropped by google were just exceptions. I'm leaning towards exception at the moment.

Sad to hear about this.  Is anyone having success with adsense who is talking about bitcoin in a blog or something?  I have a hard time believing this is deliberate on Google's part, but someone clickbombing the ads in order to get them shut down wouldn't surprise me.

Learning the troll avoidance button :)
Googles been evil for a while as they say with power comes corruption
They used to champion freedom a lot more though at least they still support free information

Although it is a worth noting that
 
In an informal press meet held on Thursday, the chairman of the Internet company has emphasized that Google will not be policing the web.

Thats PRISM's job

I'll update this if Google Ireland pays me in July, it seems to work correctly, but I'm using Bitcoin services too.

I always tout BungeeBones.com as an Adsense alternative and I just recently converted over to Bitcoin only for fees coming in and commissions going out

Did this happen to anyone who got paid from Google Ireland or is this a US-only thing? Never had any problems with Adsense so far.

@OP: How many adsense accounts do you have? FYI you are only allowed one so if you have more than one it is sufficient grounds for suspending all your accounts.

Of course there could be other reasons? @OP Did you ask Google why your account has been suspended?

I've been using adsense on my site for the last few months and haven't had any problems to date.

With that said, if there were a good alternative that offered payouts in Bitcoin, or even another cryptocurrency, I'd opt for that. I tried out a couple of them a few months back and they were pretty abysmal.

It seems that Bitcoin would be particularly well suited for paying for and managing online advertising, especially with the possibility of small payments. Given that adsense has a minimum payment amount, a Bitcoin advertising platform that offered daily micropayments could find a niche.

If I had an idea on where to start on developing an advertising platform then I'd give it a shot, but I'm afraid my web development skills just aren't up to the task at the moment.

This is really bad news, if this is true.  Not just for obvious potential loss of adsense revenue, but that behind the scenes, Google is anti-Bitcoin.  This speaks volumes on the future viability of Bitcoin, as it relates to mass adoption. Again, that's if this is actually true.   Huh

@OP: How many adsense accounts do you have? FYI you are only allowed one so if you have more than one it is sufficient grounds for suspending all your accounts.

Also a few things of note for the others:

- Adsense is by far the best source of pay per click advertising income on the web. Most websites live and die by their access to adsense.

- In the medium to long term adsense earnings depend on how well your traffic converts into sales for advertisers. If it doesn't convert well clicks are discounted. This is known as smart pricing. Google doesn't disable your account for this it just lowers what it pays you.

- It is correct to say that Adsense accounts are routinely closed on the whims of some imperfect algorithm at Google. This has been going on forever. There is an appeals process but success is rare.

Same song different verse. Moved a couple of blogs to more friendly hosting and abandoned adsense altogether. I won't be raising a fuss with Google et al. AdSense was such a small revenue source anyhow. Google is certainly censoring bitcoin monetizing efforts in an anti-competitive manner.

As long as my rank remains commensurate with my content relevance, I won't complain...to anyone that matters anyway.

This happened to me a couple months back.  I kept asking about it and they eventually explained that the reason was it is that they consider it a financial advice related site and I had to follow the rules they set for that.  the only issue I had was displaying my mailing address on the site.

ok so if this is a "financial advise" website, which rules do you have to follow? the issue was that you displayed your email address? Smiley

They wanted a physical mailing address on the web site
