Check adsense banned sites : Protect yourself when purshassing websites for google ads .
When you are buying a website from someone for the sole purpose of putting AdSense on, it can be a catch-22 about whether to ask the site owner if he or she has ever used AdSense on the site, and if the site has been banned from AdSense. But you don’t exactly want to outlay the cash and then discover the site has been permanently banned from ever running AdSense.
On the one hand, you don’t want to invest in a site that you can never show ads on. But on the other hand, you don’t want to give a struggling hobby webmaster who might have never heard of AdSense think about signing up and trying AdSense before he goes ahead and sells it to you… because you want the best possible deal on buying the site. And yes, there are still publishers scooping up websites for a song and making back the purchase amount within days after putting on AdSense.
So what can you do to protect yourself against purchasing a website that has been banned? here are some methode which can help you on check a site if it is banned or not .
Use the AdSense Preview Tool
When you go to the website, use the AdSense Preview Tool on a few different pages. If you see no ads and an error message such as “e:-2146697208″ then the site has been banned from showing ads for some reason.
This is what it will look like in the Preview Tool:
However, if you don’t see this error code, the site may still be banned - it seems to take about a week (possibly two) after a site has been suspended for this error code to show up in the preview tool.
Sometimes ads will not display in the preview tool and show this message instead:
We are unable to show ads on this page. Possible reasons include:No ads are currently available for the selected geographic region.Page has not been crawled. Please try again later.
This page contains sensitive content. Google AdSense filters ads from pages containing sensitive news items or content.
This is not neccessarily a bad sign, although some people believe it is a sign that a website has been suspended. It is generally exactly what the message says. When it comes to serving ads, the preview tool doesn’t seem to have the same priority as those ads being viewed live on the page (and rightly so). You can often check back and see ads a few hours later, if the issue isn’t a robots.txt or stop word filter issue.
You are not authorized to view this page
When a site has been suspended from AdSense, yet the AdSense code is still live on the site, instead of ads or PSAs, you will instead see an error of “You are not authorized to view this page”. This is actually an “HTTP Error 403 - Forbidden” error page that will show up in Internet Explorer. It shows within the iframe, so you may only see a portion of the message, but here is what it looks like full screen:
Google / Yahoo / MSN Cache
If you catch someone as they are trying to offload sites quickly, check the cache in various search engines to see if there are any iframes showing “You are not authorized to view this page”, especially on internal pages that might have not had the cache updated recently (Google includes the date of the cache on the cached page).
Internet Wayback Machine
The Internet Wayback Machine is a tool many webmasters use when purchasing a site, to make sure it hasn’t been used for anything that might have flagged it for future ranking within Google or Yahoo. But it is also a great tool for checking for suspended AdSense accounts.
