According to this email, I violated something today, 11th! which would be pretty difficult as I have only just logged in! Been out all day! can anyone help? is it meant to be me or someone else doing something?
Dear publisher,
This Google Publisher Policy Report gives you an overview of recent activity related to violations found on specific pages of your websites. As enforcement statuses may change over time, please refer to the "Page-level enforcements" section of the AdSense Policy Centre for the current list of active violations.
Please note this report doesn’t cover violations that may happen on an overall site or account level. You may be notified by a separate email if site or account level violations are found. Ads will continue to serve where no policy violations have been found, either at the page or site level.
In the last 24 hours:
New violations were detected. As a result, ad serving has been restricted or disabled on pages where these violations of the AdSense Programme Policies were found. To resolve the issues, you can either remove the violating content and request a review, or remove the ad code from the violating pages.
Further details on enforcement can be found in the AdSense Help Centre. To learn more about our programme policies, please view the AdSense Programme Policies.
Kind regards,
Hi, Nell. Sign in to your AdSense account, click on the menu (the three parallel lines), go down to “Account,” and then go to “Policy Center.” This will tell you which article (or articles) is the problem and will also tell you the nature of the problem.
Thanks Alicia, I took a quick look but couldn't find anything.Apart from the fact that it said, in the last 24 hours! Yesterday I was writing my book all day, and today I have been out! I think it must be a mistake, fingers crossed.
Hi again, Nell. For future reference, when Google says “in the last 24 hours” they are referring to the time when they checked your account, not the time when the violation was created. I hope the message they sent was an error, but I would explore your account again when you have time in case it wasn’t.
Yeah I got it! UNBELIEVABLE!!!! its a hub I wrote years and years ago called The Naked Olympics! its a funny hub, nothing on show only your imagination and hubpages stopped ads years ago! Seems the people at google are so slow they have stopped!
I got 4 of them!! Not happy this past month. Violations, no ad script in Patients Lounge...Google warnings out wazoo
Deleted
That just means they turned off your Google AdSense ads on that article. I received them on one article four times from them already within the past 3 months regarding an article that I have on skin cancer... It is reported as extreme grossness or something. (All they are is pictures of moles and some cancerous moles) I have no idea why it is being flagged as against their policy and totally grotesquem. So I just resubmitted it (AGAIN) and they allowed it to go through; it takes a few days... But don't be astonished if after they approve it, a month later they will give you another warning again... I've had about six of them since the move over to patient's lounge and I don't know what the problem is
That just means that they stopped your Google Ads on that one article that they found in violation. I have received about six violations in the last three months from Google regarding patient's lounge articles.
I just received one yesterday about being severely grotesque because of my skin cancer article. I literally have a picture of moles that are cancerous and ones that are not. And they consider that, against violation of Google adsense; I guess I feel like I'm almost a criminal.
This is not the first one that I have received in the last 3 months. I've received two on my skin cancer article and I have received others on stupid articles that don't even any have anything close to borderline questionable pictures at all.
So what I did, is resubmit it for a review and they approved it. But don't be surprised, that if you do do that, you will get another email ind a month or so telling that you violated Google AdSense policy again. I don't know what's going on here but it's getting ridiculous.
Who did you resubmit to for a review?
I got one of these too yesterday, about the "graphic images" on an article about skin diseases in dogs. If your dog has a skin disease, dont you want to see what it looks like? Ridiculous.
Thanks Kenna, its okay now, i deleted the hub. its ancient and never got a reading. I think somehow the ads got put back by mistake so it was said to be 'Sex'! how naked sport is to do with sex is beyond me but...LOL! anyway just deleted it. i had in fact forgotten about it. Thanks
What articles were they saying violated their policy? The good news is that at least it isn't something that they think was done to get traffic against their policy like through bots or what have you - then you'd be banned at least for the HP network. I had that happen with a blog and despite the fact it was was inaccurate I was never able to get through to them despite sending proof that what they had banned my blog for was impossible no fewer than 10 times. It sounds like they are responding to something content related. Here's a good quick and dirty guide to some of the policy violations that people are having trouble with since Adsense has started making some changes and coming down harder on violations they thing people have made. Hope it helps! https://www.shoutmeloud.com/10-simple-m … anned.html
Hi Natalie, as I said above, it was a silly hub called the naked olympics I wrote back I think in 2012! you can't actually see anything in it but for some reason the ads had been put back, so google had a panic attack, or as they used to say over here 'a touch of the vapors!' LOLOLO! I deleted it. didn't want them to choke on their breakfasts!
Ooooh- you said the "N" word tee hee hee! Thank goodness Adsense is there to protect our delicate sensitivities
Good grief! I'm getting so sick to death of this petty censorship over nothing at all prurient!
People need to get a grip and a life! I don't know why this country is so hung up on all that Victorian era nonsense!
We'd be far better off to be more casual about displaying the body in tasteful ways, than with trying to walk on eggshells around oversensitive prudes who can't apparently even deal with the mention of nudity. (How in the hell do they even manage to bathe??!!)
(And I hope I don't get any such emails, because I'm effectively "locked out" of accessing any of my Google adsense/metrics/ etc. because I can't remember either the password or the email I used when I originally created that account--and of course, "The Big G" was of NO help at all with that matter...they wouldn't even reply to my emails to their so-called "support.")
LOL! LIzzy, how do they bathe? now that made me laugh! good to see you, long time no see. trouble is, America is much more prudish that us brits. we hang everything out on tv, page 3 naked girls etc. it doesn't faze us. but you watch an american program and one leg is touching the floor on bed scenes! LOLOLO!
DearMsLizzy,
That was so funny! I also got locked out of my account like that. I didn't have a clue what my password was, I made it so many years ago. If you go to the HELP page they send you a link to reset it, but in my case there was a glitch and I was locked out for days!
When our articles first transferred in from Squidoo I got a warning and an unpublish from Hubpages because an article I had done on Cutting Board Safety violated Googles terms of agreement. Turns out that a person should not speak of "killing bacteria".
I tried unsuccessfully to get the article to remain live so eventually moved it to one of my sites.
Who knew Google could be so sensitive lol?

Just for a bit of background - I have been writing online for years, and literally have millions of words "out there". Only once did I have an AdSense account, and if I remember correctly, it was for a blog that is rarely used. It still appears, if I right-click on the blog, and view the...

Yesterday, when I went to check my adsense account, the google site kept telling me to sign up for a new account--didn't recognize that I already had one. There is no place to sign in either. And google adsense help wasn't helpful either. Same thing happened whether I tried to access...

So, let me break down all of the information that I have in relation to this problem. I have tried all the steps and advice that I can find, but none of it is either answered or applicable. I desperately hope someone could at a minimum point me in the right direction, because as the way things are...
