Does Google Adsense Scam People out of finances?
I've read many success stories on Hubpages that Adsense is sincere and simple. However, I have looked into getting Adsense for my own hub, and I have found many stories about it being a scam.

This is a good example. I just wanted to make sure and get insight from a few hubbers.
No it's not a scam, people who cry about it being so just broke the Google TOS and got banned and if that happens they will not pay you what you have accrued to that point from everything I have read. You have to make sure you don't break their rules and by signing up you are saying you understand those rules. So many little things can break the TOS and get you banned, just stay informed.
No, the web users who use wrong tactics to earn money in shot period of time and try to cheat Google, they get banned from Google for spamming.
I haven't made enough money from Google Adsense to care either way. So far, Google Adsense is my worst source of revenue. I haven't even hit $1 using them in over 4 months. It would be nice to be able to cut out Google Adsense and replace it with something else. I already did so partially with the Hubpages Ad Program.

Is it right for ads from Adsense to be on display on hubs of a person with disabled Adsense account? It somehow hurts to see those ads, knowing you cannot earn from them anymore. Or is the community benefiting somehow from them?

If I get a click on a Google ad on one of my hubs, does it reflect immediately on my Adsense report page or is it held by Hubpages until the end of the month or thereabouts. Just curious because I am getting a lot of page views and no clicks.

Why am I not getting approved for Google AdSense? I am a former squidoo member. I have 300 pages (many of which rank in the 80's-100's according to the hubpage ranking), and they are all legitimate pages (not sales-oriented or lacking in sufficient words). Some of the pages received...
