I do not really want to explain this all again so pay attention. I was asked again why I do not use adsense to make money from CBO.
Firstly, I have no say in what adverts Google/adsense put on my blog. The last time I tried adsense I specified quite clearly that alcohol, tobacco and gambling were strictly no go on the blog as this is a general readership blog and in some countries those type of things can cause readers problems.
Ahem. Well, gambling ads appeared. I had made fair amount from adsense then I got an email stating that one advert was from a company highlighted in news fraud stories. I clicked on the ad and checked. Yes, it was indeed very suspicious. I contacted Google and explained all of this and also gave them links to the news stories.
An hour later CBO was banned from having an adsense account. I had breached the very unclear and undefined rules of Adsense. You see, I had clicked an ad on my own blog -no matter for what reason- and BOOM! Blocked. The money I had earned? Gone. When I asked I was told I had forfeited the earnings through misappropriate use...I clicked an ad. Even had I thought "Wow. That is something I have been looking for" and clicked the ad and bought something -violation.
Just checked and a good few years later I am still blocked.
I am not going to agree to advertising on this blog that I have no say in. It can be misleading and who gets the brunt of blame if someone clicks and advert and gets screwed over? Me. Even though I have nothing to do with it. It is on MY blog.
That is why I do not use adsense -would not want to and am blocked any way.
Any future questions on this subject go into Spam.
