How to get your Google Adsense Account Re-activated if banned
July 5, 2008
There are lots of Google Adsense users who get their Adsense account banned and lose all the earnings due to click fraud. Let me first tell you the chances of getting your account restored is very lean but you should give it a try if you have not really clicked on your ads or if you are sure that you have used the program 100% according to the guidelines.
- First reply to the email sent by the Google Adsense Team explaining that you have never clicked on the ads or if you have done so, explain how it happened accidentally or so. But let me tell you that Google will not ban your account if you just click once or twice by mistake on your ads. If you do so, just send an email immediately informing about the mistake
- You may be getting a reply asking you to send your server log or any information related to the clicks or visitors. Many CMS like Joomla, Drupal has plugins which record the clicks, you can send them a copy of those reports
- Just wait for their reply, if you are lucky, you account will be restored, or you need to search for Google Adsense Alternatives
Google uses time tested algorithms to check for click fraud looking into different instances. So never try to increase your revenue by clicking on your own ads or asking anybody to click on the ads.

Using GSM and CDMA connection in same phone
July 3, 2008
If you use two mobile phones for a CDMA connection like the TATA Indicom or the Reliance, and a GSM connection like the Airtel or Vodaphone, then its time to change your phone. There are mobile phones which can have two phone connections working at the same time on a single mobile phone.
Spice Dual sim GSM CDMA Phone D88n is available in India. It has all the rich features that a basic phone needs and is costing about INR 9000.00.
This phone can give you two numbers which will be working at the same time. You do not need to switch between the connection all the time when you need to use it. Other features includes camera, 1000 numbers phone book, expandable memory upto 1 GB, Games, alarm, bluetooth and many more features
I have not used this phone, but I was looking for something like this. Does anybody know any pocket pc which can have this feature of dual sim?
Google Adsense New Improved Custom Search for better earnings
July 2, 2008
Google Adsense has an option for earning from the search results other than banners and text links. I am not sure how many of us use it and what is the potential of earning from the Google Adsense search. To be frank, I was using this only on one of my blog and I did not get much revenue from this. Today I received an email from Google Adsense support team encouraging the use of the Search feature.
There are many new features that they have added and I feel that everybody should try this.

Have you ever seen this kind of problem?
