Don’t think I would have expected this from a Google. At least they could have given you a “Why?”

I think most people would be angry if they had an income removed. As for being a YouTube partner you’ll probably be even more gutted now as none of your videos will make any money. I wish you the best of luck with your website hand hopefully you will make something work.

… And the worst thing is … because Google is so big and your just a small enterprise. You can do nothing about their decision.

They have done it to larger companies as well. I run about 15 websites and they all had google ads on them. Followed all the TOS and then I had my account suspended and no one would tell me why. Google should be helping small websites with security issues if they know about them.

Have you thought about using AdBright? They let you choose who advertises on your website.

This has happeded to me as well. It was right when I decided i was earning enough to change from cheque to direct credit. A few days after the deposit into my bank my account was closed. Google has become so automated.

Request a copy of all information they hold on you under the Privacy Act. Normally you’ll get a real person responding as they have to release the information by law. Ask for anything about you and internal notes that mention or relate to you.

They did the exact same thing to me after some political opponents complained to them. They canceled my account with zero recourse or the ability to refute the claims.
