Adsense just disabled my account for a violation without explanation, I'm currently trying to contact them and figure out what I did wrong. Needless to say i lost a bunch of money since they never payed out. Beware

You had 4 adsense ads on 1 page, You had no content in your site(1 page only), no privacy policy/use of terms, no contact for people, your site was full of ads. I just said the most important things that google want for a website.

How much money did you have on adsense account?

Friendly,

My guess would be that people heavy into bitcoins, such as bitcoin site webmasters, are going to be fairly anti-Google due to their perceived evilness. They might also want to promote one of the bitcoin based advertising options.

You can't really be a webmaster and be against Google.......in the sense that the majority of search engine traffic will be from Google Grin

I imagine it goes something like this:

- Bitcoin related site puts of adsense
- Bitcoins users like to use tor and go to the site and click the ads
- Google sees tor users clicking ads and suspect click fraud
- Adsense revoked.

The site blocks tor, and as many proxies as we can detect.

It is no longer called adsense, they rebranded it as adchoices.

Anyone can confirm using Adsense is ok?

I can the site in my sig uses adsense, it is in the rotation

U sure? Don't see any adsense after 50 or so refreshes

make sure you have no adblock or anything and I added one below the submit button, so that will always show

Still not working (on some reloads it says I do use adblock and others I dont -- I don't use adblock at all), but doesn't matter.

Yeah I thought about this: Most bitcoin using people will be fairly tech savvy and have good 'ad blindness'. Maybe for that reason bitcoin related ads will work better since people using bitcoin want to keep bitcoin running and will support those types of banners.

Any ideas from a webmaster and their experience with adsense vs. bitcoin related ads?

Yes, you can use adsense on bitcoin related sites. As long as you don't promise bitcoins(or bitcents, or milibits) in exchange for clicks on the ads and you follow all the other adsense rules you're good to go.

Browsing across different bitcoin related websites I rarely see any adsense ads even though lots of website do show ads.

I was wondering what the reason for this is. Does Google prohibit using adsense on bitcoin related websites? I found this topic discussing some suspicions in that direction (https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/google-killing-adsense-accounts-on-bitcoin-related-sites-24384) but am wondering what the current state of affairs is.

Anybody an idea why adsense isn't often used on bitcoin websites? (or maybe my observation is wrong and someone can show me some examples of sites that do carry adsense).

p.s. I am not sure this subforum is the right section for my question, but since people making websites and project hang out here I thought I'd post it here.
