Creating a reliable "Adsense Checker" script that can determine if a website is definitively "banned" by Google AdSense is tricky and often inaccurate without direct access to Google's internal data. Here's why and what you can do:
Why a direct, public "banned" checker is difficult:
What you can do to create a simulated or heuristic checker:
While you can't get an official "banned" status, you can create a script that attempts to infer AdSense status based on common indicators. This would be more of a "likelihood" checker than a definitive one.
Here's how you could approach building such a script (using Python as an example, but concepts apply to other languages):
1. Tools and Libraries you might need:
2. Script Logic (High-Level):
Adsense Checker
Enter Your Website Below to Check if it is Banned by Google Adsense or Not
Function check_adsense_status(url):
1. Try to fetch the website's HTML content.
2. Look for common Google AdSense code patterns in the HTML.
- Example: 'adsbygoogle', 'pub-', 'google_ad_client'
3. (More advanced, but less reliable):
- If AdSense code is found, try to simulate loading the page (e.g., with Selenium) and check if ad units are rendering or remain blank.
- This is very difficult to do accurately and can be prone to errors.
4. Consider other indicators (though these are even less reliable):
- Check for "ads.txt" file (though not directly indicative of a ban).
- Look for disclaimers or privacy policies mentioning AdSense.
5. Return a "likely" status based on findings.
Main Program:
Get website URL from user input.
Call check_adsense_status(url).
Display the inferred status to the user.
3. Considerations and Limitations:
4. Example Python (Simplified - no Selenium):
Python
import requests
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
def check_adsense_status(url):
try:
response = requests.get(url, timeout=10)
response.raise_for_status() # Raise an exception for HTTP errors (4xx or 5xx)
soup = BeautifulSoup(response.text, 'html.parser')
# Look for common AdSense patterns in the HTML
adsense_patterns = [
'adsbygoogle',
'googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js',
'data-ad-client="pub-',
'google_ad_client',
'google_ad_slot'
]
found_adsense_code = False
for pattern in adsense_patterns:
if pattern in response.text:
found_adsense_code = True
break
if found_adsense_code:
# If AdSense code is found, it's highly likely they are trying to use AdSense.
# We can't definitively say if it's "banned" without more context.
# You could add more checks here, like if no ad units are visually rendering
# (which would require a browser automation library like Selenium).
return f"AdSense code detected. The website is likely trying to use Google AdSense. \n" \
f"However, this doesn't definitively tell if it's 'banned' or simply not showing ads for other reasons."
else:
return "No obvious Google AdSense code detected on this page."
except requests.exceptions.RequestException as e:
return f"Error accessing the website: {e}"
except Exception as e:
return f"An unexpected error occurred: {e}"
if __name__ == "__main__":
print("Adsense Checker")
print("Enter Your Website Below to Check if it is Banned by Google Adsense or Not")
website_url = input("Enter website URL (e.g., https://example.com): ")
if not website_url.startswith("http"):
website_url = "https://" + website_url # ***ume HTTPS if not specified
status = check_adsense_status(website_url)
print(status)
How to make it slightly "smarter" (but still not definitive):
To get closer to inferring a "ban," you'd need to go beyond just checking for code. You'd need to:
Conclusion:
You can create a script that checks for the presence of AdSense code and, with more advanced techniques, attempt to observe ad rendering. However, it's crucial to manage expectations: you cannot create a definitive "Google AdSense Banned Checker" that has the same authority as Google's internal systems. The best you can achieve is a tool that identifies potential issues or the likelihood of a site being able to display AdSense ads.
Why a direct, public "banned" checker is difficult:
- No Public API for Ban Status: Google does not provide a public API that allows you to query the AdSense ban status of an arbitrary website. This information is confidential and primarily communicated directly to the AdSense account holder.
- AdSense is Complex: AdSense policies are extensive and multifaceted. A website might not be "banned" outright, but could have ad serving disabled for specific pages, categories, or even due to invalid traffic issues.
- False Positives/Negatives: Public tools that claim to check for AdSense bans often rely on heuristics (like checking for blank ad spots or looking for specific code patterns) that can lead to inaccurate results. A site might not be showing ads for other reasons (e.g., temporary ad limits, geographical restrictions, technical issues, or simply not having AdSense code on a particular page).

1. Tools and Libraries you might need:
- requests: For making HTTP requests to fetch webpage content.
- BeautifulSoup (or similar HTML parser): To parse the HTML and look for specific elements.
- (Optional) selenium: If you need to render JavaScript-heavy pages to see ads that are dynamically loaded. This adds complexity.

3. Considerations and Limitations:
- "Banned" vs. "Not Showing Ads": Your script can only tell if AdSense code is present and if ads appear to be rendering. It cannot tell you if the site is officially banned by Google. A site might have AdSense code but no ads showing for many non-ban related reasons (e.g., ad limits, no available ads for that content/geo, site under review, technical issues).
- Dynamic Loading: Many modern websites load ads dynamically using JavaScript. A simple HTML fetch might not reveal the full AdSense implementation. selenium can help, but it's heavier and slower.
- Ad Blockers: If you're testing manually or with a basic script that doesn't byp*** ad blockers, you might mistakenly think ads aren't showing.
- Server-Side Rendering: If ads are served via server-side rendering, your script might have a harder time detecting them.
- Privacy Policy/Terms: AdSense has strict policies about content, invalid clicks, and user experience. A site might be non-compliant without being fully "banned" yet.
- Legitimacy: Directly accessing Google's internal ban lists is not possible. Tools that claim to do this are likely making educated guesses or using outdated/unreliable methods.

if not website_url.startswith("http"):
website_url = "https://" + website_url # ***ume HTTPS if not specified
status = check_adsense_status(website_url)
print(status)
How to make it slightly "smarter" (but still not definitive):
To get closer to inferring a "ban," you'd need to go beyond just checking for code. You'd need to:
- Render the page with a headless browser (Selenium, Playwright): This allows you to execute JavaScript and see what actually loads.
- Inspect the rendered DOM: Look for <iframe> elements that are typically used for AdSense ads. If these are present but remain empty or show error messages consistently across different pages and over time, it could suggest ad serving issues.
- Check for "ads.txt": While not a ban indicator, its absence can sometimes cause ad serving issues.
- Analyze common AdSense policy violations: Educate your users on why a site might be banned (e.g., adult content, copyrighted material, deceptive ad placement, invalid clicks). Your script could perhaps try to identify content that might violate policies, but this is a much larger undertaking involving AI/NLP.

You can create a script that checks for the presence of AdSense code and, with more advanced techniques, attempt to observe ad rendering. However, it's crucial to manage expectations: you cannot create a definitive "Google AdSense Banned Checker" that has the same authority as Google's internal systems.
