I had AdSense on my blog for the past couple of years and made a small amount of money with it. Then, completely out of the blue (yesterday) Google disabled my account and they won't tell me why. I did a bit of digging on this and it looks like they routinely do this to loads of people every month. (Just search for "AdSense sucks" and read some of the horror stories.) Their terms of service state that they can do that at any time, they don’t have to tell you why and they can (and will!) hold onto your unpaid earnings. Nice. As I mentioned on my own blog (http://jwikert.typepad.com/the_average_joe/2007/12/goodbye-adsense.html), Google’s “do no evil” mantra rings rather hollow when they do this to you. Additionally, it just goes to show how easy it would be to sabotage someone else’s AdSense income stream.
