Reasons Why Google Banned Large Number of Pakistani Adsense Accounts

Google AdSense is one of the most popular source of income on Internet and inspiration of most of bloggers. Google's this hit product made many blogger millionaires in few years and many people relay on Google AdSense world wide including Pakistanis. Most of Pakistani publishers are either frustrated or are feared because Google has banned a large number of Pakistani AdSense accounts. Google not only banned newbies but also banned aged and company accounts such as a (popular news paper) Daily Times account also got disabled.
Google was already hardly accepting new applications from Pakistan and Google's this move has discouraged a large of Pakistani bloggers. Many tech gurus say one must file an appeal if their accounts are disabled however negligible percentage of banned accounts are re-instated. Here are few reasons why Google disabled large numbers of Pakistani accounts.

Yeah its frustration when Google disables your account but there is always a reason if you are effected because when you earn money, Google also makes money, so possibly there are few reasons why they ban their money machines.

Spam Sites

Google hates spam sites and dont want to see their ads on them. This doesn't matter if your blog is having a good template and good traffic. All that matters is "contents" and they must be unique, Else Google wouldn't accept your account any longer. Spam sites incluse feed aggregators, sms sites etc

Made-for-AdSense

This is yet another most common reason why AdSense account is banned. People only make sites and blogs to earn money via AdSense and when AdSense manually check the website, they Hit the "Disable" button. Made-for-AdSense websites might have unique contents but their primary goal is only to make money out of that website.

Less Sales and Higher Cost

No company would love to have lower profits and higher cost of running their business. This is yet another reason because most of the advertisers does not select Pakistan in their advertising campaigns and those who choose Pakistan too, do not have good sales. This results less profits and/or higher cost of running.

Google Panda Updates

This time, possibly most of Pakistani accounts are banned because of a minor but "serious" panda update. Google possibly caught a large number of websites having copied contents and their software disabled mass AdSense accounts.

Other Policy Violations

Most of publishers do not care for TOS of Google AdSense and definitely no-company will need such workers. Those publishers make serious violations and their accounts are banned. Having adult contents, uninteresting contents, hate-speeches etc are top reasons why Google bans AdSense accounts.

Google Started Disabling AdSense Accounts of SMS related Websites

We all receive huge number of text messages on our mobile. Normally we get jokes, poetry, greetings etc kind of text messages daily from our friends, colleagues and classmates. People get latest and fresh text messages from text messages websites because people have developed so many sms websites having a large number of text messages. Most of the Text Messages websites are owned by Pakistani bloggers.

Well, most of such sites just copy each other's updates rather than uploading fresh and quality contents. Almost all these SMS blogs contain adult text messages which completely violtes the terms and conditions of Google AdSense. Google earlier ignored such websites but now Google has started following the TOS strictly. Google has started punishing such websites that contain adult text messages.

Actions taken by Google

  • Disabling AdSense service to such sites
  • Sending them an email to clean the contents within particular time period
  • Disabling their accounts
Google already has done this to so many text messages related website. If you are an owner of such blog/website, start cleaning your blog contents at your earliest.

Google Ads for Images are Back - Luminate's limited edition

Last Google funded Luminate (formerly known as Pixazza) and most of bloggers called in AdSense for images. So many people made a lots of many using this amazing method. This was really great to make money by displaying ads on images. I, myself, tried Google AdSense for images on one of my photo-gallery blog and i earned quite nice figures without renting any additional space to Google on my blog. Later, Luminate discontinued their service temporarily but now they are back.




Image Ads App is now available for Canada, United Kingdom, and United States web traffic. This means if a person visits your site from the U.S., and your site has been approved for Image Ads App, that user would be shown an Image Overlay Ad. However, if a person visits your site from Spain or India they currently will not be shown an Image Overlay Ad. If you have any other image apps enabled on your site, the apps will be visible to all of your website visitors.

So, start earning money using your traffic from Canada, UK and USA. Hopefully  Luminate will add more countries in the list.

Western Union Rejected Google AdSense Payment Saying Wrong MTCN

Google AdSense is widely used by hundreds and thousands of publishers around the world. One of the best thing about Google AdSense had been their reliable payment mediums. Western Union, recently started rejecting payments sent by Google to publishers around the world, specially publishers from Pakistan having Muslim names. Here is how the payments were rejected and what next to do.
When talked to such publishers, they said that at first, Western Union agents say wait for 15 minutes because of Muslim names needs additional verification and after 15-20 minutes Western Union agents say they cant process the payment because the payment has been reversed to Google and you need to contact Google for payment issues.

What to Do ?

You can submit your payment issue at Google AdSense's official payment forum however their staff will hardly respond you and this may irritate you. It would be better if you submit an online form which is about Removal of Western Union payment hold. You just complete this form and submit, within 24 hours you will get an official reply from Google AdSense team. They may ask for the additional information, if so, provide them all the necessary information and they will email you a new MTCN number. Simply, go with this MTCN number and get your payment from Western Union.
