Furious with AdSense!

[Commander]

My finalised earnings have updated for April 2013.
Last month, my estimated earnings were over £70 (£78.01).
Right? Well, the conning pigs only deem it fit to pay me £21.77.
That's £56.24 they've knocked off, which is infuriatingly high!!
My websites are all AdSense friendly, don't use fake traffic, or anything.
I am not involved in any clicking scams or any other breach of their TOS.
I know the finalised earnings are never a high as the estimated earnings.
I'm okay with it if they knock off so much...but this is plain ridiculous.
I will have to reconsider continuing to use their ridiculous services!

At 'least you can get AdSense. 🙁

I will discontinue their service if they do this again.
I am furious and I will rant about this until I'm satisfied that the message has been spread. I am reliable and always abide by the TOS. And they repay my honesty and loyalty with this. To be honest, I am quite disgusted. 🙁 Now I'm getting close to the withdrawal threshold they think it's okay to start knocking large amounts off my earnings, the way I see it is they don't want to pay me. Bad karma, Google!

Adsense have annoyed me too. They banned me right before I was supposed to get my first ever payout. I asked them to unban and they emailed saying that they will keep the account banned but opened up the account again, so I just deleted the account. Google are evil (contradicts their slogan).

I've moved to a new advertisement network where it's invite only and the payments go straight to my Paypal and I get paid for clicks and impressions on the advertisements.

I've read posts on multiple forums about AdSense cons.
But I've just put it down to bad webmasters breaking their rules and then moaning that they got banned. Now it's happened to me, I see these people have a point. I'm not banned....but I have been robbed. Of over £50! I couldn't be more furious with them right now.

Yeah, it's completely ridiculous how Google runs Adsense. They couldn't care less about us small sites which aren't earning them much compared to the millions like the larger ones are making.

Google are a disgrace. I will complain.
Not that that will help my case. LOL!!
But I'll feel good having a good moan.

Do you not know the definition of estimate? They did not knock off £56.24 because you did not earn £78.01, you earned £21.77. £78.01 was Google’s guess on how much you would make not how much you did make. It would stupid for Google to pay a person extra so the person’s earing match Google’s estimate.

Let’s say that I told you can make up to $1,000 by a month by using software “x”, but you only made $360. I am supposed to pay $640 because you did not reach your max performance? Did I promise you you will make $1,000 a month? No, I said you can, not you will, in other words an estimate on how much can make.

It's not exactly "Google's Guess". £78.01 was what Quiver earned had there been no invalid clicks or impressions. What was knocked off was what Google considered to be invalid.

Google isn't guessing at what you're going to earn. It's estimating your current earnings if everything is 100% hunky dory. (and yes- I had to use hunky dory). 🙂

I also got banned from adsense before I could get my first check.

I recommend BuysellAds and infolinks.

Be happy you got anything at all. They are notorious for shutting down accounts and never letting people rejoin the adsense program ever again.

It's better than nothing but I'm certainly not happy. 😛

Well send them an angry email and they'll over-analyze your account / website(s) and find a reason to ban you. Oh wait they dont have to do that, the can just ban you for no reason if they feel like it.
:lol:

I haven't broken their rules, so if they ban me I'll be very interested to learn why. 😛

Good luck getting an answer, like I said, they don't have to have a reason. They might say something like they need to "protect their proprietary detection system" so they cannot divulge any details or some B.S. like that.

Did this happen on Admins Forum?

You might want to be careful of the following on that site;

The "Log In" button slightly overlaps the the 468x60 Adsense banner you have in the forum header. It would be best if you put a little space between them.

When I visited one of your threads, a share button popped up and the "X" to close that button is over the 468 header banner ad. It would be very easy for someone to mistakenly click the banner ad, when trying to close that pop-up.

Both of the issues above could result in accidental ad clicks and breach Google Adsense terms. I'd suggest you take a close look at your site and how you display Adsense ads, rather than getting angry and going on the defensive.

No, I'm not earning anything from Admins Forum.
It's my other sites. I never earn from forums for some reason.
PayPal Fees Calculator and my other sites are primary earners.

I would think if you're getting that kind of traffic and hits off your adsense ads, you could use another site (like BuySellAds or PublicityClerks) and make money off that. Are you not able to get approved or something?

I haven't applied. Never thought of it.
Always been loyal to AdSense till now.

You should look into it. 😉
