Long version:
Okay, some let me give you some background.
I have had an AdSense account for over a year, I was using it to monitize my blog.
Well a few months ago I got enough popularity on youtube to gain monetization rights for not just one but two channels. So, of course I went ahead and submitted all my videos and all of them were accepted so then I had ads on them and was getting paid for my work! Everything was great for a while and my youtube accounts continued to grow and bring in more traffic, it was wonderful.
I then decided to create a new blog, about interesting facts such as donkey's kill more people then plane crashes each year, or moderate beer drinking can actually raise your IQ level. Well, I pretty much just made up a queue the night I made it to auto-update every hour or so but only had time to add six posts in.
Yesterday I was with my girlfriend so I wasn't checking my phone often then, BAM! I check my phone to see I have a notification from gmail claiming "Your adsense account has been banned for invalid activity." Well, immediately I had questions and lots of them, but I didn't let it ruin my night. So, my girlfriend left and I quickly hopped on my laptop and went to my gmail to read the email. It told me I had invalid traffic and I may dispute it and gave me the link to do so. I stayed up an hour or so collecting and gathering information for my case then submitted it, we will come back to this later.
So, I had found the source of my "invalid activity" on my new blog I went ahead an added a page view counter for the hell of it, well my douche friend had just found trafficspammer, which if you don't know is just an auto-surf traffic exchange network. Well, he decided that he needed to test and so he used it on my newly created blog, and of course. it works, it works so well the traffic showed directly from trafficspammer. Needless to say this is why my account was disabled.
Well, I provided all the information they asked for in the appeal, even stated exactly which site it was on, where it was from and how it happened. Wrote them long, complete answer and even stated if any more information was needed I would be happy to cooperate.
This morning I woke up to another notification, one saying my appeal was denied. Hours of work wasted. Now, to top the icing on the cake, I am 15 and never can create another adsense account, nor can someone in my household. However, I can send in another appeal but it is not even guaranteed they will read it much less give two Sh*ts. I find in more interesting that if something happened like this with a "bigger" adsense account one that brought in hundreds a day or even thousands it wouldn't even be a question if to re-instate their accounts, they just would do it, which is illegal anyway.
So, my question to you is should I try to appeal it again? If so, what information should I give? Has anyone been in this situation and won? If so, please pm to help me. Otherwise even general tips will be vary helpful. I need to raise $5,100 for MMA lessons for a year and pharmaceutical technician classes.(Yes, I have applied at places but no one wants a 15 year old in highschool when there are people with college degress getting laid off.)
Short version:
My friend used trafficspammer to test it on a blog I have, my blog contained adsense and my account was disabled, my appeal wasn't accepted and I provided all the proper infomration including someone else used their trafficspammer on my blog and even gave the exact url(s) etc. I need help to send in a second appeal, becaise I really need my adsense account and I am not allowed to create a new one and I have two youtube partners.
