  Hey! I have had about 22 million views on my site http://www.tkop.org (The Kaleidoscope of Pageantry) which I have been managing since 2016. Since I write on pageants, in certain time period the traffic can experience a sudden boost. Everything was working well for four years till February 2020 until I found in March that my site has been removed from the Wordads program. I wrote an email inquiring about the same to which I got response that my site is suspected for non-human traffic. Although I am extremely glad to be associated to WordPress family and still love writing blog posts, this was a bit shocking for me as I have shared my posts only on my social media profiles and have never bought non-human traffic as suspected which could be verified from my referrers source as well. In this case, what should I do?

  Hi there,

  As we explained to you via email on 28 March and again on 4 April, bans for non-human traffic is permanent. Even if we were to re-enable WordAds on our end, no advertisers will bid on ad space on your site any longer.

  So this cannot be reversed.
