Hey,
it's 7am here right now and I thought I should give you an update on what happened yesterday.
We were using Google AdSense to gather some money from ads to keep the site running, and it worked fine for the last week. As you may know, pewdiepie.de and Pewdie's second YouTube Account were already banned by Google before, so we tried running it with my name this time, hoping Google would be so nice to not ban us this time.
But they did it again. We were both fully aware of their TOS and didn't violate in any way we could control. So, after we collected some money, they decided to close the account and keep the money, giving no reason as they usually do. The most horrible part of that is, that we can't do anything about that - they could ban us for any stupid reason they think of. We can't even contact them, because Google has no support at all. The only place to get help is a forum, where no team member sor moderators are online or answering. The users active there are mostly people pissed because they got banned too, and some users saying that there's no way to fix it.
We're signing up at another company now, but it takes time until they have fully reviewed our site. We apologize for the inconvenience this may have caused.
By the way, don't sign up for Google Adsense with less then 200k visitors a day.
