    Google + Openads. Am I banned?

    So my forum was making around $9 a day usually when i woke up around this time I had about $4 already made. Not bad I use to think, since the day was finished up with around $9/day. However I went to add openads which I run on another board with no problem but for my banners at the top right. This one I'm using to run ads under the navigation bar. Anyways everything was looking good. I was rotating affiliate banners with my google adsense banners. However this morning when I woke up I found out that my adsense revenue was 0.02 cents. Also I also got work that when people tryed to reply to threads where the space under the nav bar is blank it would be a pop up ad from google.

    I find this bad news one of the person who this was happening to about 12 times this morning is on my network connection. I was wondering if I could possibly be banned now?

    I also went in and removed the adsense code from openads and the same thing was happening. Would google just stop paying me or would I get a notice that states I'm banned from them.
    It may be best to not listen to anything I say for advice. :spin:

    You should get a notice. But, you should contact them to confirm, since they had an old e-mail address on file for me (even though everything showed my new e-mail address in my Google account and my Adsense account.)

    I've only been a member with them for 8 months so they have the correct email. Only one I ever used with them. How soon does it take to get a notice. It appears there were about 11 clicks from my IP address this morning. I'm realy upset because I've never had a problem like this before with openads. Especially when just hitting the reply button.

    You should be fine, I would hope.

    When I returned from a trip away and found THOUSANDS of clicks where I normally saw up to a hundred, I used their Contact Us form to alert them.

    3 days later, banned, with no record that I had ever contacted them. :(

    Hello sportsmedjosh

    I came across this thread about Adsense and Openads. I'm sorry to hear of your troubles.

    I'm working at Openads - I've not heard of anyone else having a problem like this (using Adsense in Openads is very common) so perhaps it's a template/configuration issue. Do you think it's possible you have some broken HTML in your template?

    It would be a great test to revert to a backup of your template before you made the changes to see if your Adsense tags start working but it sounds like you've done this already. If it's still not working then it is very strange!

    cheers, Oliver

    Ok, but can I use Google Adsense and Openads separated in the same forum?
    it seems like combining them cause trouble...
