Hi, This story has a happy ending... somewhat :-) So, my Google AdSense account was reactivated. Although, my previous earnings were eliminated as invalid clicks. I received an email explaining the situation. Apparantly, AdSense for Content and Android Apps are not supposed to mix. How was I sup

I've been considering AdMob for mobile advertisements. I'm waiting to hear back from Google. I figure that I can wait a few more days. If my AdSense account is reactivated, I then plan to sign up for the AdSense Mobile Beta. It seems better to use that than regular AdSense, but I don't think it wa

I think Adsense is for webpage, is not for Android App. So, I am not planning to put Andsense code in my apps. On Wed, Aug 26, 2009 at 4:08 AM, tobias429 wrote: > > Hi, > > I went through exactly the same process after doing exactly what you > described you did: displaying ads on a web-page that

Hi, I went through exactly the same process after doing exactly what you described you did: displaying ads on a web-page that gets opened in a webview out of an Android application. See the post - "is android and adsense a valid business model" for the full story. My adsense account remains disab

Hi Mark, This happened in March / April of 2009. I'm not sure if the mobile ads were ready yet. I'm thinking that I wouldn't be able to use them now. Should I apply for the beta if my AdSense account has been closed? (I'm thinking that the answer is no.) I'm not sure mobile apps would work for m

Hello Romain, Your response is encouraging. I'm working on a new app and I'm trying to fight the discouraging feeling. Android is lots of fun to work with, but I'm still annoyed at how the AdSense issue was handled. Would I get burned again by Google if I continued work on Android? Seeing the res

http://adsenseaccountdisabled.org/ might help too. (And Romain, there are tons of examples out there of legitimate sites that get banned without any specified reason, automated appeal rejections, and lack of payment. Frequently the first month they hit a single-month payment. http://eyeonsoaps.ne

@Mike: I have forwarded your email to some people to see if we can help you. However you should really contact the AdSense support teams, not the Android team. @Disconnect: Please do not use anecdotal evidence as a generalized truth. On Fri, Aug 14, 2009 at 8:22 AM, Disconnect wrote: > Um... his

I don't know... only Google knows.. What (little) did google tell you about the reasons for shutting down your account? Google must have felt that you abused/games the AdSense system, rightly or wrongly.. Either way, I can imagine that this all does not make you happy. On Aug 14, 8:00 am, Photi

Um... history and basic research says "No". Adsense has a habit of dropping users rather than paying them, and the appeals process is a joke. Also, off-topic -- try #android-discuss or (better) an adsense support forum... On Fri, Aug 14, 2009 at 8:00 AM, Photics wrote: > > I made an app called
