Google AdSense bans 90 percent Pakistani accounts without prior warning

Google’s portal of earning money online via publishing Google ads on the websites, Google AdSense has gone hard on hundreds of Pakistani websites. According to latest reports, Google AdSense has banned 90 percent of Pakistani AdSense accounts without any prior notice or warning.

This does not end here, as some rumours are also circling around that many new accounts have also been blocked along with 1.5 months due payments without any reason. However, Google has not officially announced any news of the sort but many publishers have received an email from Google AdSense team regarding the blockage of their accounts.

The email states:

Hello,

We continually review all publishers according to our program policies (https://www.google.com/upport/adsense/bin/answer.py?answer=48182&stc=aspe-3pp-en) and Terms and Conditions (https://www.google.com/adsense/localized-terms?&stc=aspe-3tc-en ). During a recent review of your account, our specialists found that it was not in compliance with our policies.

LAYOUT ENCOURAGES ACCIDENTAL CLICKS: Publishers are not permitted to encourage users to click on Google ads in any way. This includes any implementation that may encourage accidental clicks, such as placing ads near flash games or navigation bars, or placing ads and site links extremely close together.

WEBMASTER GUIDELINES: Our program specialists regularly review sites in the AdSense program. It is important for a site displaying AdSense to offer significant value to the end user by providing unique and relevant content, and not to place ads on sites with little to no original content. Additionally, Google ads may not be placed on non-content-based pages.

Your site should also provide a good user experience through clear navigation and organization. Users should be able to easily click through your pages and find the information they are seeking.

Because your sites violate the spirit of our policies, we have disabled ad serving.

For more information, please review our program policies (https://www.google.com/adsense/support/as/bin/answer.py?answer=48182 ) and Google’s Webmaster Quality Guidelines (http://www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/answer.py?answer=35769#quality).

As stated in our program policies, sites displaying Google ads should provide substantial and useful information to the user. Users should be able to easily navigate through the site to find what products, goods, or services are promised.

While reviewing your site, our team of specialists determined that it does not comply with the spirit of these guidelines.

As a result, your AdSense account has been disabled.

Additionally, as stated in our Terms and Conditions, publishers who have breached this agreement may not receive further payment. The earnings on your account will be returned to the affected advertisers. Please note that this step was taken in an effort to protect the interests of our AdWords advertisers, and to maintain the quality of the AdSense program.

Thank you for your understanding.

Sincerely,

The Google AdSense Team

The email clearly states the reason of blocking accounts because of violation of Google AdSense policies. It seems Google Pakistan is going hard on issuing new adsense IDs, as they believe that Pakistani publishers misuse the accounts, which has created a lot of problems for them. Making a new Google AdSense ID is becoming difficult due to such conflicts.
