IS ADSENSE A SCAM?

I like most bloggers love to share my ideas & opinions with others. I use my blog to do this. Its only natural with all the effort & work I put into to promoting my blog so people can see my post, that id want to monetize it. With that said. The question then becomes what company to go with? There are companies like Amazon Google ( ad sense) & several others that will pay you to place ads on your website or blog. I went with Adsense because I thought Google is a reputable company & is doing great on the stock market. I might as well go with them. When I became approved which took approximately 2 weeks. I was ready to start making some money. I began to promote my blog even more. Hopefully I thought the extra traffic would help increase my earnings. I told all my friends & family. I posted links to my blog on facebook, twitter & other social sites. Slowly but surely I started to see a small amount of money trickle into my adsense account. However after 2 months of online promoting I had only made between $13 - $15 dollars. Hey I figured its not a big deal that the amount was so small. The point was I had earned money doing basically what I would have been doing anyway. Adsense posted on my account they needed more info before they could send me my earnings. approximately 2 days later my account with adsense was disabled lol. Yeah i was scratching my head as well. The reason they stated was because there may have been invalid page impressions & ad clicks. This made me pretty upset. The reason I was most upset is They dont have a number to call. They dont present any evidence or records you can view to substantiated their claims. The only thing they offer is an appeal which you have to click on a link to get to. Once their you have to fill out a questionnaire. they actually ask you for your Adsense Id which is like 18 numbers. The big smack in the face is they tell you to look on your adsense account to retrieve the i.d. # but hey you cant because they disabled it. HAHAHA. Now you have to play Sherlock Holmes & figure out another way to get it. I checked emails, not there, finally I realized I had created a HTML for the Google search bar on my blog. I finally got the I.D. # from that. After you submit the appeal they state that there is a 1 week minimum wait period to get an answer. REALLY? I mean REALLY? I find it funny that when you start to make the little bit of money they give you ($15 buck) in 2 months? They find a way to try to Jerk you out of it. I dont know how this will play out. Maybe Google is being cautious. I cant blame a company for being vigilant & not wanting to pay people who are out to cheat them. However the amount is so small & I just dont like how they accuse you of something but never allow you to see any evidence physically that led them to believe you were trying to be fraudulent & get money from them. I guess Ill wait to see if they re activate my account before I completely say their adsense program is a fake. I do know my story is not the only one on the net. Their are a lot of people with similar claims. I hope Google does the right thing for me & reactivate my account & pay me the money owed. If I did cause unknowingly a invalid amount of impressions by visiting my own blog then I can even understand them deducting that, but to completely screw me over is not fair. Im just sharing my story so you can have more info to make your own decisions. Its all love.
