Google AdSense ad serving has been disabled to your site (2012 Version)

Last year, Adsense got disabled here on silkenhut.com and nearly a year later, I got a similar email on August 15, 2012. My heart dropped and I checked on what was the cause of this. I found out that it was caused by my old posts that was there mainly for SEO purposes and for getting traffic from search engines. I have stopped doing this already but I never bothered to clean up my old posts and those old posts got flagged by Google Adsense.
So I started a clean-up by deleting posts that doesn’t have any useful content and only served to get me traffic. I also did some revisions on posts that had limited content and removed any keywords that were misleading. Feeling confident that I solved the issue, I filed a “policy violation appeal” on August 17, 2012 only to be denied. Now I heard that usually you only get to appeal once and with that, I was really down. I got denied on my only chance and I don’t know what to do anymore…
However, I kept doing the clean-up of the blog now with the help of robots.txt editing and via Google Webmaster tools. I blocked via robots the low quality pages I have on my site (e.g. pages, categories, tags) and fixed the errors found via Google Webmaster tools. I did this for nearly a month and hoping that this would help.
Come September 13, 2012, I sent my second appeal and I crossed my fingers hoping that I’ll be getting a response. I was ready to receive no reply due to the “appeal only once” but just today, September 17, I got an email from Adsense saying Adsense got re-enabled on my blog! I didn’t expect this so I’m now very happy!
I learned that I should be patient before I send a policy violation appeal.
I learned that I should always review the Webmaster Guidelines and follow them by heart.
I learned that I should review the errors in my blog especially my outbound links as you can get punished by linking to violating websites.
I learned that it is possible to send it another appeal but I would like to stress that you should get it right the first time.
I hope that this will be the last time that Ad Serving will be disabled on my blog.
Till next time,
Allen
Good to know that you got your adsense back
Patience is a virtue, same with content
Good job you brought it back
I agree! and I hope I won’t get that heartbreaking email again.
how did you get or retrieve your Issue ID#? TIA
It can be found the first email that they sent you telling you about your violation. I hope you didn’t delete that email.
Nice! It’s always a happy occasion to receive good news! =)
This post is helpful for those who have banned accounts and hopes to get it back the right way. Galing!
hi , read your post because I had same experience this year. Luckily, it was also re-enabled on my site after three appeals, they’ve been patient with me.
I had to review all my posts and made the necessary changes.
That’s great to hear.
If you don’t mind, may I know what was your violation?
that was a good news…
