Hey be warned I have used the corona admob web pop up thing for one week and…

I had been using admob for 4 months now and have made about $4000, I haven’t received a cent yet and just as payment was due I tried to login to my account and was greeted with:

Your account has been disabled for invalid activity or repeated policy violations. Some examples include recurring manual clicks or impressions, violation of our content policies which can be found here, robots, automated click and impression generating tools, third-party services that generate clicks or impressions such as pay-to-click, pay-to-surf, autosurf, and click-exchange programs, or any deceptive software.

I have requested an explanation and proof of the claims (not true), and have head nothing back from them. Plus i was earning between $50-$100 in the app store for free apps which now are earning nothing.

Hey maxborrow. Do you have any update on this? Is this still the case? Did you hear back from them? [import]uid: 8192 topic_id: 4456 reply_id: 27030[/import]

hey

No it wasn’t the admob hack, I thought it was as my account was suspened 2 days after it went up. They said I had place an add to close to a button, they sorted it out about 3 months later. They said this regarding the work around…

So as long as the ads are working then it would be ok. But on Android my ads display but when you click on them they load in the small ad window instead of full screen. This would break terms and conditions, so it still a bit risky

Did you get yours working on android and ios?

**Thank you for the email. This wouldn’t necessarily be a terms of service violation if our ads were properly displayed and displayed as intended. However, this would be considered an unsupported environment. Accordingly, we would be very limited in the amount of support or diagnosis we could provide for you during and after development.

Please let us know if we can help further.

Best regards,
