Resolve Google AdSense Publisher Violations For Valuable Inventory Problems

I don’t typically write about these topics since they aren’t on the subject of development and operations, but this week Google AdSense put my account on restricted probation for violating its policies, something I hadn’t intentionally planned on doing.

After receiving an email from Google and visiting the policy area of the Google AdSense dashboard, I learned that I had a Valuable Inventory: No Content violation for a domain that wasn’t mine and I hadn’t even heard of.

So what do you do when you’re in violation for something you do and don’t have control over?

We’re going to see some of the things that you can do to keep your account in good standing, beyond the obvious things such as being annoying.
