Got me a notice today that the ads will be stopped on one of my websites.

The above website is not currently in compliance with our AdSense program policies and as a result, ad serving has been disabled to that website. Please review and follow the instructions in our guidelines to get ad serving reinstated on your site.

Issue ID: 25186383

It’s important for a site displaying AdSense to offer significant value to the user by providing unique and relevant content, and not to place ads on auto-generated pages or pages with little to no original content. This may include, but is not limited to:

copying portions of text content from other sources

websites dedicated to embedded videos from other hosts

websites with gibberish content that makes no sense or seems auto-generated

templated or pre-generated websites that provide duplicate content to users.

For more information, please review the AdSense program policies, this help article about scraped content and Google’s Webmaster Quality Guidelines.

I did a search to see if Google employees somehow found someone saying something identical to the content on my website. Yeah…. Me… on Google plus when I plus oned my content, Google plus took a snippet from my website… TWO DAYS LATER.

Which you can find here

I mean.. come on… Google, get your act together, and please find the guy who okayd that and give him a paid couple days off in a rub and tug somewhere. Because that person clearly did not investigate that their own system is what is doing this.
It was a dumb ponder I had and it was my own content posted.. It took not even three minutes to create.

and yes that second link on the page, is this just crappily categorized with Google’s infinite malfunction.

Thanks Google.. thanks a bunch.

I preach constantly to stay in Google guidelines, AND YOU drop the ball and I still get the brunt of it.
Thanks a bunch Google. So.. my adsense account for one of my sites is suspended.

If it will get ads back on my site, should I delete the Google plus version? I mean if that’s the case then I should just delete my whole Google plus account.
It’s buggy anyway right?

So, you have stumbled into Linkshare aka Rakuten as an alternative advertisement affiliate to Google Adsense.
You see that Linkshare has a large selection of well known companies to advertise with. and it now makes your website look official, and it shows that you have high quality advertisers. Such as walmart, HP, Microsoft, Starbucks. Big name companies. Great feeling right?
Now you want to know what the income looks like. You want to know .. Does Linkshare pay ?
I have to say from my experience.
No.
I have rand their advertisements for two years. and not a single penny.
The issue is, you only make money when people click the link on your site and buy something from the site they clicked to. You basically send good traffic to these sites, for nothing.

Of course I dropped a few advertisers and took on a few new ones who left Google’s whatever service that was similar to linkshare and they all migrated to linkshare. and dropped a few advertisers that just would not work very well with my content.

Fact is, you will not make money with linkshare unless you go against the code of ethics and start making fake posts and hyping the content you link.

Linkshare Pay out for 2013
