Google... a major setback

I hit a pretty big pot hole on my way to the WSOP today. Apparently once you make enough money that you can actually get paid from Google Adsense, they suspend your account. They say that I broke the rules by directing traffic to my blog and so they have invalidated all the traffic that I have directed to their advertisers... And the whopping $132 that I earned over the 2 years that I was an member of Adsense will apparently not be paid either.

So, for everyone who has visited my blog the last 8 weeks, I thank you. For everyone who invited someone else to visit, I really thank you. I will still be blogging about my poker adventures. I hope that I can provide content that you will find interesting. Comments and suggestions are appreciated.

There is still 74 days left before the WSOP so I will just need to double my efforts playing poker and if anyone is interested I am still selling shares for $4/share no minimums. As of today there are 1,350 shares still available.

I image that once they have to pay me for affiliate links (when you actually buy something after clicking on an ad from my site) they will find some reason to avoid paying that as well so I am pulling everything except the Amazon ads. If you are planning on buying something from Amazon, if you visit here first and click on the amazon ad, it may help me out... A possible side benefit is, without all the ads maybe my page will load faster.

I am not giving up on my goal, not by a long shot. Even with this setback I have still reached 12.68% of my goal (graphs will be updated after I rearrange and pull out the google portion of the goal) so it is still full steam ahead.

Down a bit but not out. I just need to figure out some newer and better ways to reach the goal.
