A WebmasterWorld
thread has one Google AdSense publisher claiming that a JavaScript
framebuster technique led to his site and AdSense account being banned
by Google.
He said after several years, his account was banned by
Google AdSense because the JavaScript framebuster code he had led the
page to reload and reload in an endless loop. It lead to crazy numbers
of impressions over a 40 minute period. The publisher wrote:
The
account was disabled on Jan 18 2013. But Google Analytics intelligence
report showed a spike in pageviews (and they weren't clicks but
pageviews do inflate advertiser costs) on 18th Jan 2013. After digging
deep, I realised that someone from France (I'm in India) was using the
Google Translate service to view my site. And my site has a framebuster
javascript which caused the page to load in an endless loop. The usual
pageviews of about 800 per day got inflated to 4500 that day. I've sent
them a clarification. But I doubt they'll listen of their
highhandedness. I was at fault but I'm not a cheat. I've paid my
apologies and the last respects to AdSense.
Some
are having a hard time believing a publisher would be banned so quickly
for such a mistake. Some are saying it is possible and are trying to
ensure things like this do not happen to themselves.
Netmeg said that she is extra careful:
Stuff
like this is why I watch my traffic like a hawk (not my AdSense, my
traffic) and if I see any anomalies, AdSense comes off till I nail them
down.
I guess that is being incredibly careful.
Are you paranoid about this? Have you seen anything like this before?
