Adsense .
Well for over a year now i have had an Adsense account with my three web based sites Riders of the world, you tube and this site being the latest .
I had froze the account payment until i had returned home. I started the process of asking for payment in February and they replied that the amount was £83 for the year. As i reposted a blog of my travels on blogger the account said that another £20 had been raised . I was due the £83 at the end of this month .
I had an email saying that my account had been disabled for illegal activity, they will not tell you what where or how .
I apealed to Adsense and a standard reply came back at 10.23am that said due to high levels of traffic it may take a few weeks to review my appeal , my reply came back at 2.17pm saying after very carefull examination i was banned for life and that i would not recieve any payments .
On the appeal form there was no way someone like me could answer some of the techie question How are your users accessing the web? *

(e.g. Internet cafes, home DSL lines, mobile devices, university/office intranets........ I don't bloody know and i don't have a clue how to find that out nor do i want to, i don't care .
I had offered them remote access so they could have a look themselves at what i had been doing , they won't give me any information as to what illegal activity. Is this a blogger thing or is it a strange coincidence that they have been happy with me untill i asked for the money . I don't know and i guess i will never know as the lines of communication have now been cut . The next thing will be deportation papers to the USA .
Having travelled extensively around the USA last year i could see they were struggling for cash but i didn't think a giant such as google would stoop so low as to grab my £83 .
Now no matter what i do is going to make any difference to google they could shut me down chew me up and spit me out and ruin me without breaking a stride, but i am upset that i don't know what i have done and been convicted by the google court . I will now try to close as many of the google accounts i have , starting with this blog , it was a brief affair but i shall move my blogs to another place and when that is done i shall post on here where i have moved and that will be the last, infact the only entry you will see here.
Google you have won , but i have the morale high ground !! and i am sorry to part company with you
