Mick sent me a link to this – its a great cartoon… better than mine are – im gonna have to raise my game i think. I also love the idea of giving cartoons to people for links back…. i better do some of that too… anyway love these two toons

So at last I got off my lazy ass and did a new one… this is sort of a teaser for toons to come… yes its still lame, yes its still inkbait but hey what are you gonna do eh?

I have been kinda busy sorting my stuff out since the last one got me canned from Adsense, lets see what damage this one will do

Thanks for the mention stuntdbl. I think you may very soon be appearing in the seo cartoon hall of fame

Just a quick note to say that I am struggling under the requests for free cartoons at the moment. Whilst im happy to help where I can for links or favours the volume of requests in the last week has been crazy.

I spent about 4 hours last night just doing cartoons for people when really I should be building sites again…

I try to help but I dont have enough time to do them all… sorry

OK heres a simple summary of what happened for all who want to know. And yes that button is there for a reason..

I have been doing Adsense publishing for 18months without any problems. I produce sites that in the main have some value.

I have always also done cartoons for fun and it seemed logical that doing a cartoon about seo and adsense would be fun. Matt Cutts of Google had seen a few doodles I had done of him and always said that my original effort looked a bit wierd. So it seemed obvious that he would make a good subject of my first seo cartoon strip.

The strip portrayed Matt as a spam fighting super hero stopping two well known uk spammers and all in all was positive to him. It was picked up on Threadwatch and even Matt Cutts commented that it was ‘a hoot’.

However less than 30 minutes later i got the dreaded email telling me my account had been banned for ‘invalid clicks’. I have NEVER CLICKED ON MY OWN ADS so I appealed.

36 hours later Google have denied my appeal and any further appeals.

They keep my money, all my sites are now without revenue streams and there is nothing anyone can do. Unless you have serious clickfraud detection and prevention in place dont expect that it couldnt happen to you…

If its a coincidence its a very spooky one……
