Can you trust Google as developer or Adsense publisher?

I don’t know how reliable Google is in some respects. It has become a world giant on the internet but in my opinion, it is still a company that has some shortcomings.

I’ve completely lost confidence in Google as a publisher of Adsense for years and a developer of content on Google Play as a developer. I’il write down the reasons for this. I want you to see this as a review, not a smear.

  1. LIFETIME PROHIBITIONS – To impose a lifetime ban on publishers or developers whose account has been closed for any reason. If you are banned from Google Play or Adsense, even if you understand your error, you cannot be included in the program again. You cannot add programs to Google Play and become an Adsense publisher.

2. WARNING PRIOR-If they find inappropriate content when you post content on Google Play or Adsense, the application is suspended and ad serving stops. Not only is the content removed, but it also closes your account. Most of the time you are not warned before, you are not given the chance to correct your error. So when you are banned, the content you have worked on for years goes to trash. You are no longer a publisher on Google Play.

3. TRANSPARENCY AND ACCOUNTABILITY – Sometimes you do not know why you are banned. They say “We are unable to provide information to protect our proprietary detection system.” Most Adsense publishers don’t even know what the error is. Sometimes it is caused by sabotages and invalid activities by others.

4. BAD SUPPORT – The support they offer to developers and publishers is very poor. Your objections come ready template answers. Adsense publishers who earn less than $ 25 a week don’t even have a mail support.
