Mr. Aaron Greenspan of Think Computer Corporation sued Google in the small claims court for his $721, which he had in his account when Google closed his account giving reason of “posed a significant risk to our AdWords advertisers.”

The court gave the judgment in the favor of Mr. Aaron and Google has to pay him $721. Read the full story here.

When the judgment was given, Google’s paralegal lady protested saying: “It’s not fair! What if everyone whose account was canceled sued Google?”

Now that is the question to ask. After this judgment I am expecting that a lot more people will go to small claims courts in America to get their money back which they earned till the time their account was closed.

So, either Google need to provide the reason for the ban, or they will lose again in those courts.

I am using Kontera as in-text advertising from a long time and had very good relationship with them. I was also making some good money with them till recently. I had fixed CPM deal with them.

Few days back infolinks invited me to join and test their program for a while. I tested their program for 3 days and the results was wonderful. It created me much more money than what Kontera was creating. So I decided to move to infolinks from Kontera.

But Kontera didn’t want to loose me, so that offered me even better fixed CPM rate than infolinks. But they could not sustain it as they were not making as much money from my sites as they were paying me. So they moved me back to the CPC based plan.

So I moved my biggest sites from Kontera to infolinks. Infolinks is making me at-least 3 times of what Kontera is making me in CPC model.

My recent eCPM with infolinks is $3.00 which Kontera can never even touch I think.

Saturday (14^th February 2009), Google Adsense had some problem. Stats for all the publishers seemed stuck and were not updating. Publishers were scared that what is happening?

In the first part of the day, the stats were not even being shown at all. Then in the later part of the day the earnings were showing but impressions were not updated fully. Hence people were seeing atleast 5 to 10 times of their regular CTR. They were even more worried about this high CTR and eCPM as that may be a case of click fraud and Google may ban them.

Finally, the stats for the Saturday were fully update on Sunday morning. But still many people (including me) are reporting that their Saturday earnings are much lower than the average earnings of their other Saturdays. Though the traffic somewhat remained same.

Sunday’s (today) Adsense stats also looking little bit lacking behind. Till that time, I am seeing only 60% of the average traffic of my Sundays though only last few hours of the day are remaining.

Though Google has reported in their Adsense stats that stats are being updated and there are no problems, I am still concerned my earnings for these day days which are still quite less than the average of Saturdays and Sunday’s earnings.

Google claimed:

No stats from yesterday were lost, and our engineers have been working to restore your reports with the clicks, impressions, and earnings accrued from your sites.

But I don’t think I can agree.

Are any of you seeing this (or saw this)?
