: Google AdSense ad serving has been disabled. So How to handle it? I have a site which pulls photos from Instagram API. Recently I got a shocking message from Google that "Google AdSense ad

@Tiffany637

I presume you have submitted an appeal? support.google.com/adsense/bin/request.py?contact_type=policy_disabled_appeal
If you have not had any luck through that channel, then I think you might be stuck.

Wish I had better news, but I have not had good experiences with adsense.

A client of mine was banned for very vague reasons and didn't get any response from appeals; even leveraging contacts of contacts inside google could not get them unblocked and one google insider even claimed they weren't blocked even though the adsense does not work at all - it gets a 403 forbidden.

My advice would be to find alternative sources of income because google's decisions are often final. I would even go as far to advise any against using it as their primary income source for any new projects.

But I hope I am wrong, if you get better outcome please post it on here as it would be very useful :)

My personal suggestion: before you quit Google Adsense, you can apply for a review of your account. It can help to restore your account. You have to fill in all the right information. support.google.com/adsense/bin/request.py?contact_type=policy_disabled_appeal

As you know Google love original content and its your job to check if the content is displayed from outer than your Site, or some other link, does this follow the Google's policy, if not you have to remove those auto generated content from the Site immediately.

you yourself think, why you should suffer for someone else's mistake? so i would rather recommend you to start over with your own content and must be independent (for best).

Additionally you can also send a Re-initiation request to Google Adsense team mentioning complete reason and how you are now able to follow their guidelines.
hope Google may allow the ads again!
All the best

I think that there wont be any more explanations than Google adsense policies


Sites with Google ads may not include or link to:
Pornography, adult
or mature content ...


So if Google doesn't see it, you wont be fired, a bad advise : "not seen, not taken".
It's the only reason I see why other websites, that displays some bad contents, are not fired today. But tomorrow...

BTW, before stoping adsense diffusion on a website, Google usualy warn the webmaster to modify his page. And if the webmaster doesn't do it, Google stop the diffusion on the page, or on the website, or could close the account.

On how to prevent "porn" picture's display on your website, you may :


Control by yourself what is posted and remove it
Add a flag feature to be informed by users/visitors of "bad" contents


To do it automatically, you'll need some picture analysis system, with a very expensive cost !
