When Google started rolling out bans one after another in March—there were about 3 different ban waves—in the middle of the month I simply removed all ads from the sites and turned them off completely, because I thought that on the 4th time Google would just wipe out the Russian account with the funds and the sites along with it.
It’s better to keep the sites and receive payouts later than to have the sites get banned in AdSense and become impossible to re-add.
I transferred part of them to a foreign account, and wanted to return a few back to the Russian one.
All of the sites had already passed moderation and had been accepted into AdSense previously.
So on the left, in the foreign account, everything is being added fine and almost everything passed moderation, while in the Russian account not a single site has been approved so far.
Is there any point in keeping trying? I don’t think so anymore.
And that’s just one example I brought up. It’s like this across all fronts.
