Yes I have, and all I got was automated replies and form letters, they have been no help at all. I even reported once that I had weird click activity – so that I couldn't get blamed for it and instead that may have actually led to my account suspension as if it's my fault when some reader of my blog clicks 10+ ads. If that's so I could latch out at competitor blogs by just clicking on their adsense ads and getting them in trouble.

have you used the 'write to google' links in your webmaster tools account to ask them these questions before posting this rant?

thanks for your reply – We need more people like us to join forces and fight back somehow. I for one hate being whipped by google. Google definitely needs to meet it's david (google being goliath).

I agree with you. I have been "Bitch slapped" by the great and wonderful Google myself. I guess the reason being is that on my blogs I write reviews AS WELL AS writing my content. I have been a blogger for the show Jericho since Oct of 06, got a blogger blog and switched in March of 07 , where i then set about chronicling the entire Jericho Campaign start to finish as well as doing many cast interviews. I only recently ( in the last 4 months or so) began writing paid reviews due to an illness in my family that h as left me as the sole bread winner for the time being. I went from a 4 which I was damned proud to have earned by my own talents down to a three and I fully expect Google to slap me again.
Google has no review board, no oversight committee, they take the adsense away ( as they did me after I FINALLY got to 100.00!) claiming my blog was detrimental to their advertisers! If this were in day to day life, we would have a court system to revert to, but with Google literally running the internet as they see fit, well…. poor moms such as myself are left to just lick our wounds.
thanks for writing this post, and since you do not write paid reviews I hope Google gives you back your rank.
