Understand Why Your AdSense Account Was Disabled

Google disables AdSense accounts for a few major reasons:
✅ Invalid Click Activity – Clicks that Google deems fraudulent or artificially generated.
✅ Policy Violations – Content that violates AdSense policies (e.g., adult content, copyright infringement).
✅ Duplicate Accounts – Having multiple AdSense accounts linked to the same person.
✅ Previously Banned Account – If you had a prior AdSense ban, you may not be eligible for a new account.

➡ Check your email from adsense-noreply@google.com. This should provide details about why your account was disabled.

Gather Essential Information for Appeal

Before submitting an appeal, collect the following details:
🔹 Your AdSense Publisher ID – Found in AdSense under “Account Information” (or check emails from Google).
🔹 Your Google Account Email – The email linked to your AdSense and YouTube accounts.
🔹 Monetization History – Any past monetization history with AdSense (on YouTube or websites).
🔹 Traffic Sources – If invalid click activity was the issue, be ready to explain where your traffic comes from.

Submit an Appeal Using the Correct Form

If your error message mentioned invalid click activity, use the Invalid Activity Appeal Form.

🔹 Go to the Google AdSense Invalid Click Activity Appeal Page.
🔹 Fill out all the required details accurately.
🔹 Clearly explain why you believe the ban was a mistake.
🔹 If you had unusual traffic spikes, mention them (e.g., viral video, social media shares).
🔹 Promise compliance with AdSense policies going forward.

🚨 Important: You typically get only one chance to appeal, so be thorough!

Alternative Ways to Contact Google (If Needed)

If your appeal is rejected or ignored, try these additional options:

🔹 YouTube Studio Feedback:

  • Open YouTube Studio → Click Help → Select Send Feedback
  • Attach screenshots of the issue

🔹 Google Ads Support Chat:

🔹 AdSense Help Forum:

Prevent Future Issues

Next Steps

  • Submit your appeal ASAP using this form.
  • Wait for Google’s response (this can take several weeks).

Sample Message to Appeal Banned Adsense Account

Use this customizable template to submit your appeal through the Invalid Activity Appeal Form. Be clear, professional, and concise.

📧 Subject: Appeal for AdSense Account Reinstatement – [Your Publisher ID]

Dear Google AdSense Team,

I hope this message finds you well. I recently attempted to set up AdSense for my YouTube channel but received a notification stating that my AdSense account has been disabled due to “invalid click activity or other policy reasons.” I would like to formally appeal this decision as I believe it may have been a mistake.

🔹 Account Details:

  • Name: [Your Full Name]
  • Google Account Email: [Your Email Address]
  • AdSense Publisher ID: [Your Publisher ID] (If available)
  • YouTube Channel URL: [Your YouTube Link]
  • Date of Issue: [When you received the ban notification]

🔹 Why I Believe the Suspension Was a Mistake:

  1. No Previous AdSense Activity – My YouTube channel did not have enough watch hours and subscribers to qualify for monetization before, so I never linked or used AdSense for earnings in the past.
  2. No Artificial Clicks or Traffic Manipulation – I have never encouraged invalid clicks, used click bots, or engaged in any policy-violating activities. My channel’s views have grown organically through my content.
  3. Possible Error or Misunderstanding – Since I had not used AdSense before, I am unsure how my account was flagged. It’s possible that my account was mistaken for another or there was an issue with an old association.

🔹 Additional Context:

  • My channel recently met the monetization requirements (1,000 subscribers & 4,000 watch hours).
  • I have never received an email from Google stating any previous AdSense violations.
  • I am willing to comply with any necessary reviews or policy adjustments to resolve this issue.

🔹 Steps I Have Taken:

  1. I reviewed Google’s AdSense Policy and confirmed that my content adheres to all guidelines.
  2. I attempted to use YouTube Studio’s feedback tool, but I have not received a response.
  3. I checked the AdSense Help Center, but my situation does not match any listed policy violations.

I kindly request that my account be reviewed again, as I am confident that I have not violated any AdSense policies. If there are any specific issues with my account, I would greatly appreciate further details so I can address them.

Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to your response.

Best regards,
[Your Full Name]
[Your Contact Email]
[Your YouTube Channel Link]
