A few months ago I saw this video. The Andrew was saying how much he makes with minisites through adsense.

A few weeks after watching the video I went back to study his sites and notice all the adsense were gone. The only thing I can conclude is G suspend his account as a result of the video.

I would say you are right as it's part og their T&Cs not to disclose this publically.

I had a warning from the big G this week in my adsense account that one of my sites had "comments spam" - so keep an eye on your WP comments settings to make sure you don't get your account blocked for not removing spammers!

thanks for reminding me why I don't 'bank' with google

90 adsense sites is likely to raise a red flag in Google I would have thought. Can anyone have 90 sites that provide useful content?

The interview with Andrew Hazen was really insightful, however I can't help feel that if he spent more time on developing the core coupons.info domain his business would be stronger. The network idea seems to be popular but must be a nightmare to manage and better results could surely be achieved via developing a strongly branded core site. The coupons.info domain has amazing potential but at current I can't help but think the design is lacking.

Discountvouchers, myvouchercodes or vouchercodes really is the better way to go in terms of developing a sustainable mode.

Anyways Andrew seems to be very successful so maybe his approach has merit.

It's possible to have so many domains in Google Adsense that it literally says there are too many to view when you click the 'Sites' option in the nav, and that's way more than 90.

I think massive earnings + massive number of sites raises a red flag.

Too true. A lot of the big names that have got banned recently have had that combination

This is by no means a swipe at you or your statement, but I have heard this numerous times and I just can't understand what Google would have against this?

If you have many sites making lots of money due to your many quality websites with quality content, whats the issue from Google's point of view? The fact they have to pay out?

Their advertisers have got traffic/clicks based on these quality websites with quality content.
The fact you have many of these websites should be immaterial, surely?

Maybe you have 89 high quality sites and 1 that is borderline.

Probably just be that once that flag gets raised you get a manual review which then puts you at risk. Like putting a bullseye on ya back

I completely agree with your points, but Adsense has been a bit of an odd fish lately. I don't know whether they are being investigated or whether they're doing it off their own bat, but there seems to be a shake up in banning big accounts and reduction of earnings for others. Some of the people who've been banned and earn xxxx or xx,xxx per month have received emails stating they've been banned just because of the 'risk' of invalid clicks. As far as I know all these people have 200+ sites as well. It could easily be a coincidence, but it seems like it's more risky.
