Google's Decision

Well, I heard back from Google! After only 5 days I got the response! It is always nice to see a speedy response to an issue, especially when it involves money.

From Google's AdSense TeamHello,

Thank you for your appeal. We appreciate the additional information you've provided, as well as your continued interest in the AdSense program. However, after thoroughly re-reviewing your account data and taking your feedback into consideration, our specialists have confirmed that we're unable to reinstate your AdSense account.

As a reminder, if you have any questions or concerns about your account, the actions we've taken, or invalid activity in general, you can find more information by visiting

Well, there it is. I am disappointed by the decision, but it IS their call, and the call was against me. This means that unless they decide to change their mind, I am blacklisted from the AdSense program.

So what does this mean beyond Google? It means that I need to start looking for other advertising means.  The almost $75 that I would have made from Google I will not be seeing.  I am currently checking out BuySellAds as a viable option.  The only thing I ask right now is that if you are currently reading my blog, please encourage others to start reading as well.

Buy Sell Ads (BSA) suggests 100,000 impressions a month, and I am not sure how close I get to that at the moment as all I see are basic visit stats. By building the reading base though I know that I would/will be a valuable asset for them, as they would be for me!

By the end of Feb. it would be nice to see even 4x the current number of readers that we have currently seen.  Currently we are seeing about 220 visitors a day, so if each visitor is even reading 10 of the articles, that would bring the impressions up to at least 50k impressions from my best guess.

Also, do not forget that if you want to advertise on here as well, let me know! As you all have seen there are many options to advertise on my site.
