Hello
We (my company) are getting constantly banned from adsense for Invalid Activity (3 accounts banned in 6 months).
I don't understand why we are getting banned because we NEVER clicked on our ads,never encouraged others to click and never used any script.
I appealed 3 times and all appeals were unsuccesful.
Our main source of traffic is Facebook.
We have 5 big facebook pages where we share our website posts (niche of web and facebook pages is the same).
Articles are unique(not copied not rewrited but unique) so i really dont know why we are getting banned.
Page ctr was 3-4%,cpc 0.25-0.35$ and impression ctr 0.4-0.5%.
We are using 6 responsive ad widgets and 1 website level auto ads code.
Usually we write 20 articles in a day and then share them on our pages in 4 days(4 articles per day per page), and after 4 days we write another 20 articles and repeat the process.
I would be very grateful for some insights from someone as why this is happening.
Thank you in advance.
 
Banned as in the account gets disabled or does it get limited?
 
Wait for a 1-3 months before you re-apply.
CTR is pretty high and it could be the reason for raising a red flag.

I've read somewhere that if you buy old adsense accounts who have received at least 1 payment you won't have these problems.
What do you think about this ?

Yes, Old accounts have minimal risk comparing to the new accounts.
Most of the accounts getting a ban for invalid activity. If you dig out the reason will be the main traffic source is Facebook. Even though google officially accepts social traffic there is some limitations behind the bars which we have to found.
 
Anyway I wouldn't say it's about your traffic source maybe you use restricted content. For bad traffic you should get at first account limiation not whole accout ban but maybe i'm wrong.

You're not allowed to open a 2nd adsense account.

The first one got the ban for some reason. The others were banned because they somehow found out it's related to the first.
 
I would say wait a few months without ads and get more traffic. That way you can lower the CTR and reduce the risk of invalid clicks.

It is possible to have multiple AdSense accounts (even if it's against their policy), as I've had an old one banned and made a new one with the same details, which is still up and running after many years. Obviously the more accounts you have, the higher the risk of them all being banned/blacklisted.

Well you're better at it than I am and most cases I've seen too! Adsense uses the ad fraud system to find same identities. Especially since you need to get paid somehow.
 
you can open new account with new site and different name, then change payment name afterwards.
your problem is the bans, 3-4% ctr is kinda high, also make sure you have good ad viewability, ads on the bottom get less views, could be numerous of reasons, send site via pm and i will have a look
 
I think your traffic is not decent. If your traffic is 70 - 90% from social media, of course it will banned. The user is not legit it makes bounce rate high and the retention of page is short.

Balance organic traffic and social media.

If i buy organic traffic do i risk getting banned too ?
Because my niche is super competitive and it is almost impossible to get organic traffic from SE
 
We must still get through and find out from technical support why the account is blocked? Let them talk in detail about the reasons, and you do not have to solve puzzles. Otherwise, there will be a long process of guessing the problem. Accounts in no way should be connected to each other. Traffic must be diluted.
 
I will tell you the truth, the main reason why AdSense is banning your account is because of the fb traffic. This days AdSense hate it. Gone are those days when you can just rely on just social media traffic. But now, its either they limit your ads or they ban your account. So look for other ads if you want to use social media traffic. But if its AdSense its better you look for search engine traffic else I bet you. They will still ban your account in a long run.
 
Move on to another network
