For those in the website content generation game, Google Adsense is one of the most powerful ways to monetize a website to start generating revenue from website traffic. However, many people who use Adsense do not realize it is mostly a bad idea to rely solely on Adsense as a revenue generating system – mostly due to the lack of quality support if anything happens.

As I speak, there are hundreds of complaints on the Adsense forums for people who are the victims of "click-bomb" attacks, which are essentially people generating fake clicks over and over again on their websites to the point of Google raising a red flag and shutting down their website. As to whether or not these complaints are legitimate, I do not know. It is important to note that Google claims it conducts thorough investigations to make sure accounts that are banned are truly in violation of Google's terms of service and fraud.

The worst thing someone can do to another persons website is intentionally keep clicking on their advertisements, some people might think they are helping, but they are actually raising their "audit" risk by Google's subscription robot and increasing the risk of their accounts being shut down.

Google has a good reason for doing this, it is to help protect their Adwords advertisers who are paying their hard earned cash for genuine advertising clicks – however, Google spends very little to no effort in allowing individuals recover their Adsense accounts if they have become victims of Ad based attacks, they assume the individual who was banned as "in on it" with generating the invalid clicks.

Now before you think this is only reserved to low-end websites, let me say I have seen websites that claim to generate over $4000 per month (which to me is an incredible amount of revenue from advertising, I have no idea how people could possibly do it) and get shut down and not hear a word from Google regarding any of their complaints or frustrations. Basically they completely cut them off with a zero-tolerance policy. Those individuals only have the option of switching to a different advertising vendor.

So what is a website content generator to do? Well, there are plenty of Google Adsense Alternatives out there, and the best thing a website developer can do is have an emergency backup plan that they can quickly implement in the instance of losing their Adsense account. Unfortunately, none of these alternatives will work for YouTube except for maybe switching to Blip.tv as your new video adsense alternative host. Blip.tv lets you monetize your own videos right out of the box (you can even share them to YouTube if need be).

Adsense account recovery is likely impossible after it has been banned due to fraudulent click activity. According to Google's Disable Account FAQ they believe they have made the proper decision in banning your account based on their "investigation" so if this happens to do, it is likely best to simply move on to a different revenue generating system immediately. I'm not saying it is impossible to recovery your account, but it is certainly unlikely – no sense in spending hours of energy talking to a wall.
