Google AdSense account disabled before I could even start – "Related to a disabled account" but I only have one account
Hi everyone,
I'm hoping someone here can help or share their experience.
I recently created an AdSense account for my website, but before I could even start serving ads or earn anything, I received an email saying my publisher account had been disabled.
The reason Google gave was "Account related to a disabled account."
The confusing part is:
- I never got the chance to display any ads.
- I never earned any revenue.
- As far as I know, I only have one AdSense account.
- I didn't receive any warning before the account was disabled.
I submitted an appeal immediately, but it's now been 14 days, and I still haven't received any response—not even an update or acknowledgement beyond the initial submission.
I'm genuinely trying to understand what could have triggered this. Could it be:
- An old AdSense account that I completely forgot about?
- Someone else previously using my IP, device, or address?
- A false positive from Google's review system?
Has anyone here faced the same issue? If so:
- Did Google eventually respond to your appeal?
- How long did it take?
- Were you able to recover your account, or did you have to create a new one?
I'd really appreciate any advice or shared experiences. At this point, I'm just trying to understand what my options are.
