What are your biggest concerns and complaints about Google AdSense?
Numerous forum members have provided feedback regarding what they feel are the biggest hurdles to AdSense. For example, many are not too keen on smart pricing which relates to lack of transparency. Others are not happy with the fact that so many MFAs get accepted as advertisers.
What about penalizing publishers when there's click fraud involved? As one member puts it, there is little protection, because "if some one clicks fraud you, they do not count those clicks which is the right thing to do, but also they might ban the publishers too even knowing they may not be responsible for the fraud."
Do you have additional gripes? Forum discussion continues at DigitalPoint Forums.

In google adsense I am not getting paid anything and I have over 100 people visiting my site everyday. I feel like I am getting scammed and this is not fair in the slightest way. My website is called www.whippersnappergames.com, please tell me if there is anything i can do to get my payments? I have put alot of money into this website.

Hi. Google adsense didnt accept my adsense account because of cophyrighted material. But i didnt know that rule, so i applied again with the same account settings(because i deleted all my posts on my web and i will post my own things). I hope this time google will accept my account. Is this possible?

I have recently had someone come onto my sites every day and click so many ad's that google adsense have told me that I am a fraud. I have lost a good source of income, thanks to one person who has a lot of time on their hands and knows that a sudden spike from 4-8% avg. ctr to 110% ctr is going to raise some eyebrows. Google have decided, despite evidence in the form or an email, to myself - saying that these actions would take place - to not allow reinstatement of my account. Guess they can't be bothered with the recalculation. It's a real shame, as most of the ad's displayed on my sites were public service ad's, so I really hope that disaster relief and other people like those lot aren't penalised too. Either way, I've found a more responsible ad provider who doesn't put the competition's adverts on my gaming sites and who says that "if backed with a direct threat as you received, we definitely would have re-instated your account". Mind - they're a salesperson, so of course they're going to lie through their teeth to get business... :/

Re: quality of advertisement. I'd like to make a complaint against google ads from dream team tickets inc. (dreamteamtickets.com) and its associates (e.g boxoffices.org). They are often the first ad to come up when searching for tickets. They imply that the show you are seeking is sold out when it isn't. They charge minimum double the face value for tickets plus ridiculous service charges. Essentially, they are ticket scalpers who are ripping of non-search-savvy people as their ad comes up first on your search engine. A family member just unknowingly paid four times the face value amount for a ticket to Vancouver's Cavalia. Tickets were still available through the official vendor, but they couldn't find it because it came up so low on the google search. Promoting ticket scalpers and scam artists with your ads shines very poorly on google. I will definitely be using another search engine.

I am very irate about Googles advertisment/celebrations of individuals on their Goggle image on the Google home page. I dont appreciate nor do I respect the people who they "celebrate". I am irate that today they are recognizing celebrating a Russian Astronaut, not an American Astronaut. Celebrate NASA!!!! By the way, I don't think I have ever seen Google celebrate an American Patriotic Day yet! I have changed my search home page!

Companys like Birthday party characters.com are doing parties for kids, on google ads. They say you can have spiderman at your party, a trademark character owmed byMarvel characters inc and trademarked in 2008. So how can this company send out this character, good question. When people hire from companys with no location on the net, no towns , no names, they have no contract. When the companys screw with you you are out of luck. Worse yet you are having a complete stranger with no paper trail come handle your kids. You need a written contract with all there information before you hand over yours. If not,there is no contract.

I agree. Many Google ads are misleading and I did not want my viewers to think that I was as unethical as some of the ads they posted on my site. Google needs to let the site owner control the ads posted with an approve or disapproval botton. The categories on the ad preference manager are too broad; therefore, site owners need to have more control over which ads will run on his/her site and NOT Google.

Additionally, there is NO telephone number for those with AdSense problems, only cold forms that are technical and lengthy (hard to understand) that do not pin point the exact problem. Google is not in the business of helping the little guy make money, yet Google has increased its revenue by 27% this year, which comes to about $9 Billion.

I find it extremely offensive to have dating ads pop up, slow down and sometimes tie up my system totally. I have set all the blockers but google has gone to the dogs. It loads ads to the degree my system is constantly running to keep up with this trash. Worse than Microsoft ever was.
