I see it all the time, complaints from Google AdSense publishers that they were banned from Google AdSense unfairly. But one story is making its rounds on Twitter and through the blogosphere.

The story is on Ducks Works Magazine and it is long, but it basically describes how he was making a nice living off of AdSense and it continued to grow. Then as his AdSense click through rate climbed, Google eventually banned him for encouraging his readers to click on his ads.

He didn’t realize he was doing anything wrong and now he is banned for life. For life?

He wrote:

But he also admits to encouraging his readers to click on his ads. He wrote:

You did that, really? And you didn’t expect to be banned? Really?

Now it is Google’s fault for not warning you? I know Google has warned publishers of this in the past. Did you really not get a warning? Even if you didn’t, it is Google’s fault?

I am sorry, I agree with the masses in the WebmasterWorld forum where they are saying “He got Greedy. Broke the rules. And he is now out.”

Yup, things were going well, more clicks, more money…

I am sure after time Google will let you back in but please don’t act like it is Google’s fault.
