Lesson learned – sometimes google can penalize your website because incorrect use of adsense.

This storry started a while back when I begun adding adsense on one of my websites where I suspected it is not allowed (it’s a website on which people can upload school content and such).

Everything was fine for a while – about 4 months, I got a little amount of money too when suddenly the website dropped from the search engines. I thought it was because of duplicate content or because of the too many pages the site had, which was strange but I had no clue.

So I kept my website simple removing all pages that were not important, I even removed the adsense from some of the pages including first page because anyway I was not making any money anymore.

After 8 months guess who was back?… my website 🙂 – I was happy for 1 month until I received another payment from adsense (cumulated with another website) – just after payment was confirmed the website was down again from the search engines, so now I suspected the cause: I removed all adsense from the website, after 2 more months my website was back again!!!

In conclusion I think google has a swith for it’s personnel, including the google adsense staff who can shot your website into his legs bringing it down for a while.
