Goodbye My Hubber Family, Google Has disabled my Account

66

By Darlene Sabella

Secret Between the dark and the light

This has been another week full of Lemons, on Monday I looked at my blog and all my ads were missing, so I came to check my account at Hub-pages. I realized, upon going to my earnings, that Google and disabled my account. I so click on it to find out what the problem was. Now I would like to remind you that I have been on hub-pages for two years now, and I HAVE NEVER MADE ONE PENNY.

I was shocked when I read, "Their were inappropriate clicks on my account." Well funny that it's two days before my first paycheck in two years. I have never clicked on one of my ads, my family pays not attention to my hubs, I write because I am disabled and this is my passion, my social life, and I love Hub-pages and my friends. I refuse to write for free anymore, as I need money for groceries and prescriptions.

Therefore I did an appeal, and they have made me wait all week, and tonight they answered me with, "Sorry your out, and every dime you earned will be returned to the advertisers for losing their money on clicks that are inappropriate." So, when did this inappropriate clicking began, and why now two year and two days from they having to pay me? Way are they refusing to pay me any money I have earned? I am broken hearted and shocked that I would be accused of cheating, me a thief? OMG, this has me so baffled and the pain and hurt is now turned into anger.

I have not made any comments this week as I was waiting to hear the results of my appeal, and tonight I got the answer. I have no choice, but to leave my dear family here. I will write for the contest of April and hope I can win at least one to get some money that I have lost. Be careful in Goggles agreement that said that can oust you for any reason they choose without giving you a reason, um and I wasn't even kissed. I will slowly move my hubs as google is still on my site for hub-pages to get ALL the revenue, this is really serious, to be accused of a crime I didn't do. Love & peace dear friends

I had a similar experience with associated content, where they wrongfully accused me of having multiple accounts. What it really was was that me and my girlfriend both had our respective accounts but on the same IP address. I offered to send Yahoo photocopies of our driver's licenses to prove that we are two different entities with separate accounts but just in the same household. To this day I've had no response. Sorry about your loss though, I know the pain :

Hi Darlene, I know the feeling. I was really liking writing on the hubs. Now, all of a sudden they have gotten so tight it makes me not even want to stay on here. I published a hub today and they denied it. There is no reason that I can see for the denial. It was fun but now it's getting to restrictive. I don't understand all the changes. If you go, I will be sorry to see you leave. But I probably won't be far behind along with a lot of others. Greg

Well I've had five hubs that they said adverstiser would not cover, but I have many great hubs, and I plan to move them over to a place were I feel at home. The very sad part of all of this is this was my home and I wanted to be here forever. Maybe this is God's plan to move me and push me to go to a better place, a place where I could get paid. Hey thanks my friends for you comments. Love & peace darski

Let me know where you move your writing to Mrs. Darlene. I'll swing by for sure! Business is an ugly thing and it is indeed somewhat strange that your account got canceled just before you would have gotten paid.

I had a blog removed about a week or so ago too. Many people seem to be having problems of this sort lately.

I wish you well though, whatever comes your way. May Wakan Tanka walk with you.

That is very frustrating and annoying news for you, and I do feel for you. Have you considered staying on here and concentrating your efforts on other alternatives like Amazon, Ebay (if you have an affiliate account) and Clickbank. A lot of users make more money from those than they do Adsense.

You could pursue Adsense again too, as one Hubber had the same problem recently, and they hubbed on it because they were annoyed. Some days later they got an email saying their account had been re-instated as the disabling had been done in error. I believe they had appealed and been rejected once too from what I recall.

Whatever you decide, I wish you well.

Dear Darlene,

When I investigated whether or not I should get involved in Google Adsense, I read many stories such as yours. Just as someone was about to get paid..voila there was a violation and no check was ever issued. Please don't give up your hubbing family. You are so important to all of us.

Wow! One of the problems is that they have the power to do things like this. I had something similar happen to me on another forum but the forum itself was paying the writers. When I got to a certain limit they came head hunting.

Darlene this stinks! I hope that Google does realize they made a mistake and opens your account back. If you do leave, let us know where you go so that we can still follow. This whole google thing as got us all shook up knowing that it could happen to anyone of us who actually abide by the rules.

I myself am already starting to join different affiliate programs and look for other avenues as income coming in, so that I do not have to rely entirely on Google.

Darlene, wishing you the very best- stay in touch

God bless you.

Darlene I feel so bad for you. That is really horrible and I am sure Google know were the click came from. I have not got my my 4100 threshold yet but $7.00 away from it. I hope that doesn't happen to me or anyone else. We will all miss you here Darlene and I wish you all the best in your writing ahead and your earnings. I have been with Adsense for about one year and never recieved a penny yet , but soon I hope.

God Bless you Darlene and hang in there , everything will work out fine :)

This breaks my heart. Do you have an Amazon account? I make more money from Amazon than Google. So if you don't have Amazon you could sign up for it. I love you, love your work and know you'd never do anything wrong. I hope you stick around and give Amazon a go. Since you've not made any money on Google anyway... My most positive thoughts are with you. Love Peace and Joy my dearest chicklet. :) katie

How dare Google place all their ads on my page, on all my hubs his is insane. I have never made a dime with Amazon and now they will not take anyone that lives in Colorado because of a new law in this state about taxes...also eBay is no longer taking new writers. I am so sick over this, this WAS my home, I feel like my home just got repossesed. I thing I will go to associate Contant, yahoo just bought them out and I have a few articles on their from two years ago. And, they have been sending small abouts once in awhile to my paypal account. This is bull sh...and I am so sad... Thank you all, Love & peace

My dearest Darlene, I’m so sad for you. This is indeed a slap in the face – I wonder who is the authorised person who closed your account? What/who is she/he? I agree with ALL above comments. Don’t run, rather start a revolution. Where is the place you will feel at home? Tell me when you find it and I’ll move with you.

Oh Darski, I will be so sad to see you go :( You're such a supportive and encouraging hubber to all your friends, and your hubs are so lovely to read. I will miss you, and I hope that Google will buck their ideas up and reinstate your account.

I don't know what is going on with all this Google business, but it just seems like they're up to shady stuff at the moment, and not playing at all fair. I've never made any money from them yet - it's funny how the home page for HubPages encourages people to come on in and join the party, and make hundreds even thousands of dollars just like many other hubbers do - WHO THE HELL ARE THESE HUBBERS WHO MAKE HUNDREDS AND EVEN THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS??? I don't know of any!

I'll miss you Darski, and I hope you get to stay. If you don't please tell us where you've gone, and maybe we can all move over with you!

I don't want all my hard work to be in vain. If you are looking for a site to get paid for your content I would suggest RedGage. I have been on there for a month now and I love it.

I am slowly moving my hubs over to Yahoo Contributing Network, which used to my Associated Content...Yahoo must purchased them. I wrote on AC before I came to Hubpages and I have been making money,not a lot, but some money on my eight articles. I have to make income my lovely friends. Right now, Google and Hubpages are making clear profit on my hubs, and I don't like that. I just wonder why this has happened, but enough of spelled milk, must now be serious about my income and my writing, I will check in I promise, I am not doing this willing, love you darski

However I have over 90,000 hub view, compared to you that's not much but I should have made something...I am over it! Love you darski

I am so sorry to hear about this news. But as your friend. I just want to remind you there are many opportunities out there. Have you get an invitation from hubpages team to test hubpages ads new program. I have tested this and it sound great. I get a couple of dollar in three days. I thought it would increasing in the next days.

After finish my Taxes problem to join this program. Actually I am little bit confuse about TAX, but God help me to overcome this problem and hubpages team also gave me the solution. If you read hubpages blog, they have done a second invitation for many hubbers. This program will launch in public in July. I thought hubpages team has commitment for hubbers to get nice income from ads revenue by writing article. If you banned by google, it mean you don't have to end your membership in hubpages. I hope hubpages ads program is a good solution for you and for us too.

You are my favorite hubber. At the same time you are my loyal readers. Please consider your plan to leave hubpages. 19 months is a long time for you to build your hub kingdom in HP and 132 hubs is a good achievement for you. I hope the best for you. My pray always for you too. Take care!

***I beleive, you will success with hubpages new program***

Thank you for your kind words katrinasui yes it is very sad indeed.

And prasetio30 Yes you are right, but no invite as of yet, yesterday on RedGage, I won a contest and won 25.00 on my first day. Also I have been on hubs like your said for 19 months and never made any money. I am poor my friend, I need to work for money now, not ten years from now as I am old and I surely will be wilted in my grave. I love you too, and I will miss you. I am going to keep a few hubs here just to be part of this wonder family. Love & peace darski

Hi Darlene-

This is so upsetting and an example of what is wrong with the world. I initially became interested in HP because of you & Colin and the personal interest & feedback you both took the time to provide. How much is that worth? And I am one of SO MANY who looks to you for inspiration, friendship & support, again what is the value? We all know this is an error & I am quite sure you will hear back from Google confirming that fact but the damage has been done-Like you, I need to make money & realize that if this can happen to you, it can happen to anyone. I am right behind you my friend.

Hi Chatkath, Kat...I appealed it they said for any reason the choose if the want to delete any account. You only get one appeal, and they ousted me just like that. They are keeping all the money I made, $226.00 and they said they are returning it to advertisers, this is what 19 months of work brought to me, I love being on hubpages, however I have never been paid, nothing from hubpages. I have to leave unwilling to make enough to buy groceries. Love you Kat and thank you girlfriend...love & peace darski

There are other ad companies that will support your blogs. I wish I could think of their names just now but they are out there. And you can try adding affiliate links on your blogs to the sales pages of companies that will pay you a commission if anyone buys through your link. I guess you know that but it is still an option, even if it is Clickbank you use. You can blog around what is hot on clickbank. There are others.

Denise Handlon Level 8 Commenter 14 months ago

Darski-got your email. Thanks for pointing this out on hubpages. I've been tagged for having an unsuitable hub which was pulled from publishing by the team. The term they used was: Substandard. It was my very first hub about mothers day and when I queried into it for specifics they told me it had too much personal content.

Yes, that is called a memoir. So, I posed the question : Are memoirs allowed? and it became a featured question, go figure.

It is all mindboggling and I am almost ready to give it all up. I DO NOT make any money, either, it is all purely creative outlet. NC residents cannot get money from Amazon. I cannot apply for EBAY acct b/c they are not taking anyone new...so there is only google ads.

I'm sorry this happened. I wish you the best.

Oh, BTW--they threatened to close my acct as well, but have not as of yet. Hugs to you.

We have made many friends here on HP and as you say I do not want these friendships to end.

If you are moving on darski (and as I see it you don't have much choice)could you leave a link and let us know where you are.

Hi Darlene,

Darlene.... I am trying to work out the problem that you have had.. as what you have stated here has lots of gaps in it. You must email HP and specifically ask THEM to provide you an explanation WHY THEY ARE collecting all the impressions from 140 hubs that you have published here! You and HP have an agreement and from what I have seen to date.. that agreement is being manipulated (perhaps by Trolls here) - this means that it is possible that the so claimed 'excess clicks' may have been generated via HP's Share of the impressions and then blamed on You!

You also need to Challenge Google on the history of the account prior to and including the ALLEGED incident that has been used as justification to canning your account.

DO NOT TAKE DOWN YOUR WORK HERE... at least until this issue has been resolved in your favor... now let's see if HP invite you into their program - which will take away a lot of the problems with Google that we are all experiencing!

PM me via my account here and give me entire breakdown of income and problems. You should also have had a Google Analytics account, which can actually provide you all the click history and sources... See where I am coming from?

This is BS and it appears that you are being PLAYED here merely because you don't understand the process fully! So LET'S SORT IT OUT... Start asking some of those Hard questions to your Absense Earning Partner Here... Hub Pages!

Wow being pretty new to all this I hate seeing stuff happen to good people and writers. I do have a question on a comment that was made about moving your articles/hubs. Can you do that and if so how? Good Luck at redgage Ill have to check it out Thanks for all the info

Darlene Sabella profile image

Darlene Sabella Hub Author 13 months ago

No I must remove my hubs, however it will take me some time to design a new website that I can control. For now I am writing new articles for Redgage, and I like it there, I have already made more money there in less then a week then I made here in two years. Thank you for your comment, Much luck, Love & peace darski

Darlene I am so sorry to hear of your experience with your account being deactivated and disabled. That is so strange as your Google Adsense Ads are working fine here right now (Fri 15 April) as I write this. There are 3 Google Adsense ads and your Amazon ads show here no problem.

Blogspot is a Google Adsense Blog site provider, and is owned by Google, and it also happily lets you use Amazon ads. I know cos Cheeky Girl showed me this.

Your loss here would be immense as many of us love reading your hubs and you have great topics that you write about.

Cassy said there is black hat software that is used by some folks that can simulate the clicking of URL addresses or adverts. That is scary. Question is, did this happen to you and if so why? If not, was it a mistake, which might have been rectified since you brought it to the Hub people's attention? An email to them might tell you more.

I'm happy you are now earning income finally after years getting so little. It is sad to lose a great friend and hubber like you. But I wish you happiness always and your happiness is important. You are a wonderful person, and you deserve better, Darlene.

Thank you Astra, I had my blogspot account for many years. I have been with google a long time, I have written them and they will not answer me, however the last event happened last week, I got a check from Google Dated after they disabled me, I was disabled on March 21st, with them owing me money for the past two years. Last week I received a check from them for $149.00 which was dated on March 28th. I assumed this was my true income for the past two years. I deposited on April 5th and then and yesterday April 13th Google stopped payment on the check, which has cost me another two hundred in bank charges. I am so upset with Google right now I could scream, please tell my dear Cheeky girl to contact me. And, thank you for your kind comment Love & peace darski

Darski-

You must be livid! I am so frustrated with this entire HP - Google adsense experience, I have heard so many strange stories! I will email you tomorrow, going to bed now, but seems like you have really been through the ringer, it is one thing to not make money, but another after years of writing, attracting a huge fan base like you have and now they act like it's nothing! You deserve to be paid Darlene you really do. I myself would not even be here had it not been for your initial encouragement! Not over!

WTG Chatkath, You know I love you, your support through this has been a God Send...Know body knows what this has done to me, when it happens to others like many people I am talking to in this past year the stories are scary. I was soooooooooooo loyal to Google, and HP...Now, I am talking my time and starting all over, re-creating. You are a great friend, we need to link our sites. Darski

Darlene, your story is really scary, and I can't wish it even to my enemy. hope you won't leave hubpages, I don't want to miss you, and I am asking myself why I haven't encountered some of your hubs before... Nice meeting you...

Astra Nomik Level 6 Commenter 13 months ago

Cassy will email you tonight, Darlene. What is going on? Now I am seeing four Google ads here in this hub??? Did they really disable you account? I am confused. I will link to your Blogspot website with my poetry website if you like. ^_^ Please take care, Darski. Hugs.

Darlene Sabella profile image

Darlene Sabella Hub Author 13 months ago

Yes Astra, I am disabled completely, therefore HP and Google are running more ads then when I was with Google, they are all making money on my hub, go figure. I told them to remove Google off of my site, they told me they had nothing to do with google, this whole thing is crazy, I still have amazon and I would love to link sites I just don't know how....Love you, darski

It's a shame when someone accuses you of doing something you would never do, no matter what it might be, but it is a bigger shame to find that big companies or some website owner starts telling lies on you. The best thing about all this is that one day and one day sooner than we think, we'll be able to stand toe to toe and eye to eye with those who lie and cheat us, especially when you are doing your best to do the right thing. Heck, I Very Rarely click anyone else's ads and would never click my own so I understand how you feel. I do hope it all works out well for you, I'm sure it will.

Darlene I was wondering where you were. I came over for a visit and whoa I find this. It has been 3 months. I always make it to my favorites sooner or later. There are many. I am so sorry for the boot. Yikes. tsk tsk google. You will be alright because God is for you not against you. Some will persecute us for no apparent reason. It is so sad but true. God will turn it all for good. You will start to make some real money sister. Darlene Please contact me via email when you transfer your hubs to another site. I would love to stay your sister. Hugs galore precious one. I love you. Skye

DO come over for a read sometime. I miss you!!

Hey, I'm sorry to hear about this - but were I you, I'd start putting your content on Redgage, where you can earn without adsense.

Darlene Sabella profile image

Darlene Sabella Hub Author 11 months ago

I have my own blog, http://darlenesabella.blogspot.com/

Then I am on Redgage I made more money there then I did here on hubpage on my first day, I won a contest. I am now in the believe that amazon, google and hubpages along with many others are a scam, they do pay a few people only for the word to pass. I have had my blog for three or four years and have all amazon ads and for three years it shows zero on each and every day...um go figure....come visit me I miss my hubber friends so much, honestly I thought I would be on hub for the rest of my life. Now I am fumbling out in the world without all of you, many hugs and kisses.....

Hey sabella, are you still around? I didn't even realise you left! I have been mad busy with my life so was not able to com eon HB regularly like i used to! Give me a shout that you're still around! You are being missed!

Serena Gabriel 7 months ago

It is truly shocking how many of these stories there are, not just all over the web, but here at HubPages. A similar thing happened to me three weeks ago. I wrote about it at my hub. I have no suggestions except to report your experience to the Better Business Bureau. It's amazing how you can be robbed without ever leaving home these days! I can't tell you how glad I am that I never gave these clowns any bank account or credit card information!
