That is pretty discouraging. And they are still placing ads on his videos!?
I once tried a new corporation, address, phone, and login IP but no dice getting back in.
Anyone have success getting back in (that they'd be willing to share)?
/edited to reduce whining.
I think the most fascinating part: (my bold)
QuoteThe contract is designed so that it is almost impossible not to break the Google rules. If you disclose site data then you are in breach. YouTube discloses just the sort of site data that would have me thrown out – but YouTube is Google which is Adsense.
If your subscribers are clicking on adverts and not buying, then you are in breach. This is a new concept – do not look at an advert unless you intend to buy.
This would p##s me off though:
QuoteGoogle is still placing adverts against my work on Youtube. My films on there are heading for 2 million hits in December.
Is there a way to remove these films? Or put a message forwarding people to another site with a link to how google has screwed him? As many people that are clicking on his ads on youtube, you'd think it would hurt Google enough to get a live voice on the phone.
has anyone ever had a refund from Google for clicks on a network ad on a suspended site?
>> it is almost impossible not to break the google rules - I was taught to write insurance contracts and I think most contract writers work the same way. You create a document where its literally impossible for the other party to be 'in the right' and then amend it to allow claims for specific events. Sometimes you don't amend it to be eplicit but rely on the 'non enforcement of any clause' clause, which basically means no one has an actual legal right to be paid but you will do so unless you decide you don't want to and it doesnt set a precedent. Google have mastered the art.
Duh, newbie error - encourage visitors to click on your ads.
However, am surprised by this:

At the moment I am delivering 1.5 million good solid hits a months to Youtube. My Youtube space has now had 20,000,000 visits.
One film in particular, 'Big Trucks in the Canadian West', has received 13,000,000 hits.
...
The mathematicians amongst you will already have clocked that the trucking films have earned me about $18,000. Good money.
I make that 0.0009c per view.
I presume that's just on the basic Adsense ads showing - I would have thought the intro videos paid a lot better??
