ADSENSE = THIEVES !3/20/2008 05:32:00 PM - 104 comments
After all it's all about money. ADSENSE robbed all the money in the adsense account gained in ONE MONTH of advertising on this site. No reason given. No explainations. No nothing. $4000 in advertising (thanks to YOUR support) just vanished. Well, I don't really care so much about money I am not even selling ZiPhone but I wanted you all to know what's happening. I'm disgusted. You've read the post. What's next?Like this post? Please consider bookmarking or help us promote it. Many thanks.

hey zibri. the same happened to me. not 4000$ but quite a lot for me. the same happened to my collegue.
fuck google
I predicted that in the ziphone, translators skype group, I am sorry for that...
lol
I'm happy today, thank you Google!
I'm apalled! It's not like Google doesn't make enough money! I'm so sorry Zibri. Screw Google I'm donating to the cause, I suggest that if Zibri helped you in any way that you do the same! Thanks Zibri!
@samuel:
you are a so small person.
I'm so sorry Zibri
boys and girls lets click another ads in Zibri blog! he do good job!
Disappeared? How come?
You wrote an email to them for sure... What did they reply?
They won't reply anything.
They can't explain why they ban ppl otherwise it would be easy not to make the same misstake (in the case of ppl that forces click etc..)
That is really unlucky Z :(
dude thats fucking terrible, they are bastards, fuck 'em!
what goes around comes around anyways
they'll get it up theirs with something else...
sorry i know i was vulgar, but i was just being open about my feelins..
I've just started using Adsense on www.the-iBlog.com, and while I'm not getting anything like that number of clicks, I hope this doesn't happen to me too !
Zibri,
Thank you for all you have done for everyone!...
Hopefully it will get resolved in your favor.
If there is any way we can help, please don't be shy about asking
Wow thats gotta suck big time
Sounds like hitting the donate button is a better way for people that love your work (like me) Go to it people !
I own an advertising company...www.aaamediaconcepts.net..I know all about adsense..If there is anything we can do to help, please ask..Maybe we all can put together a plan somewhat like this..My company will match every dollar with a dollar...I know how it feels to be robbed and if I can ease the anger/pain then it would be worth it to me to help compensate the loss..Just a thought...Let me know if that may help...
Add another thief...
http://www.iphonegeek.com/iphone-unlock.html
Dude
Some store over at "the Block" in Orange California
They are charging people $200 bucks to "unlock" your iPhone
I asked to see like and example and the. Chick showed me her Iphone
I totally. Saw your ZiPhone icon you know the one that spears
What a rip that pissed me off
Is there anybody put there that can do aythijg to stop those pricks
They stole twenty of my clicks! SHAME!
Well Zibri, I'm sorry for your loss. You should consider moving your blog to a new server. After all, Google owns Blogger, then you'll get pwned. Nobody wants this to happen.
Same Thing for me, I feel that's awful!
They gave me a reason: They told me I had bot-computers around the globe clicking on my ads!
I thought it was really funny.
It was a website about Global Warning...
Hi Zibri,
I'm really sorry for what happened. I personally love Google but this theft doesn't honour to those guys.
If I were you:
1) Move your blog from blogger to any other non-Google server
2) Put a "donate" button. Most of us owe you a lot....
At the very end of the story you have the content and people will follow you where ever you go
Have you noticed how scumbags (sorry to all scumbags out there for the comparison) like Samuel only make drive by statements and Zibri still posted it? I think we should also band together and inform iPhonegeek that we are on to their stealing ZiPhone and selling it as there own unlocking solution.
Palmiro,
Zibri does have a donate button. In case you haven't realized ;)
Zibri. people think that you are a cheap, lying, code-thief.
fuck them.
you are a god, sir.
are you sure adsense have just simply made your monthly payment to you. When I had adwords on my site, they simply paid me at the end of the payment cycle, my balance was deducted and then 5 days later in my account
@dan trammell
You obviously don't have a single clue what you're talking about so i'll keep it real simple, just for you.
Go read the Google Adsense TOS and you'll (maybe) educate yourself on why they did what they did.
Samuel and others are quite right. This was the right, honest thing to do.
Che cagnacci porca vacca.
dude no worries I had the same. I adsense crap on my blog and when I was about to get first check they said I broke terms. WTF? I said. And that was the end.
You Still have google ads running in http://downloads.ziphone.org/
May be you missed to remove it.
Just a reminder.
Vin Runa.
@Cris
Maybe you will learn to spell and read then I will maybe pay attention to what you say. Till then Foxtrot-Oscar.
heeeey zibri i was just navigating a little and i fund this page http://www.solution-iphone.com/iphone-guide.htm?gclid=CKPc0Jedn5ICFSW7iQodDQUn7g its unbeliable they are selling your program men this is just not fair they even have a video orunning your programm
It's against AdSense TOS to place the advertisements on a site related to hacking, which this site is. Unlucky, but always read the small print
Dude im So sorry They Took your money. I'll Try to Help you out Because you must Be Pissed, Angry, Sad and more lol. 4,000 dollars wow dude its like you could buy like eight 16gb's iphones just got taken away from you lol! Well im sorry tht Mr, Fuckers Hi jacked your money. lol
I suppose it's basically logistic model, there are bunch of variables, and if the probability of being fraud is higher than a certain threshold (it may change for different segments), then you are out. The worst part is they don't tell you until at the time when they need to pay. They claim they will refund the commission to payers, but who knows?!
They may also have some manual review cases. For some high $ accounts with high probablity of fraud (but not high enough to hit the threshold), they will have agents look at your account history, unfornately, these agents can make mistakes intentionally or accidently.
@jack
Really?!
Then why is there an adsense in even more hardcore "hacking" sites?
There is adsense on HACKINt0sh too..
There is adsense on pirate sites.
And for you rinformation, unlocking phones is protected by DMCA and it's not against the law.
@don
I totally agree.. but what is FO ?!
@admin:
That's not MINE. It's of the download site maintainer.
@chris:
I strongly suggest to fly down and keep a low profile.
And THINK before opening your mouth.
@the nigester:
Sure. I have no access to adsense at all.
I haven't said I have access and the balance is 0.
I just don't have access anymore.
@sam:
People still think that man has been on the moon.
@muzaffer:
I have everything backed up. Just in case.
@shane blyth:
Sure it is. But I would like to find an alternative.
@oliver
That will happen as soon as someone like dev team
wants you to have problems :)
(Because the main reason for the theft was dev team complaints
about me getting money.. but they will be paid back by life, don't worry)
@everyone reporting sites selling my free program:
tell them to donate 10% of what they earn :)
I belive it could be Apple's presure over Google. As you have mentioned a few weeks ago some one from Apple has been visiting your blog, and they are probably not very glad with your great work, because you alone make fun of all the apple's enginers that try lock the iPhone. They won't to stop the flow of money because the think that all that matters to you is money and without it you will stop.
You are great and can count on us.

does this work on the v2 ipod touch?
I'm sure Adsense employees jailbreak their iPhones, too. You could use JavaScript to make a message show up for anyone in the Google-assigned IP block asking them to contact the Adsense team.
All of the sites selling your code are in violation of the GPL. I've been sending them warnings, but Zibri is the only one who really has the authority to do anything. You may want to say something about closed-source resale permissible if you donate 10% of profits.
zibri , i know how to you reset your money , talk with me :)
and ADSENSE = THIEVES is not true cuz you not read the TOS for adsense
talk with me
Hi everyone..
I installed a theme on my iphone.
But do not know how to apply it. Please anyone help me....
@ About the sites selling Ziphone: I think that if some1 goes over there and pays for it... it's fair, cause it's the price of stupidity. If some1 is dumb enough to don't do a search on the net about unlocking programs he deserve to be charged for.
Just one thing, if some1 is making money out of Ziphone, they should pay Zibri his share :p
Zibri thank's a lot for your great job from Italy. I'm sure you'll have your money back sooner or later, even if (maybe) from a different source. You deserve it.
Good luck...
Hum... Is it possible that someone is trying to make money with the FREE Ziphone prog ? Check here : http://www.iphonegeek.com/iphone-unlock.html
There a picture that looks just like Ziphone app...
If it is, I find this truly sad...
sorry to hear that, that is low...
Maybe Try
www.text-link-ads.com
They seem to be the next best option. I have used them in the past.
I hope they suit.
zibri
why don't you try tribalfusion ads, the amount of visitors you are getting you will earn around $500 for just one 160x600 skyscraper ad, put 3 different ads, it easily clears more then $3000.
Tribalfusion is only CPM based, the more impressions you get the more the money.
http://www.tribalfusion.com/
Google Adsense clearly writes in the program policies that:
Sites displaying Google ads may not include:
...
Hacking/cracking content
...
ziphone's all about hacking that phone. So why complaining?
It's simple why they did it. You were encouraging people to click on you AdSense links and that's against the rules. When they see that they drop you from the program and do not let you profit from gaming the system. When I saw you encouraging people to "support your sponsors", I knew it was a matter of time before they did this, which is entirely within their rights. You can't be so blatant about it.
Even the process of exploiting other's hard work for money you can't do honestly.
@square:
Phone unlocking is NOT hacking/cracking.
And it's protected by DMCA itself.
Other sites like HACKintosh have adsense and that should infringe the same rule !
I see adsense in MANY sites that are illegal. Ziphone is NOT.
@shaun:
I never said CLICK. I just said "support" which means buying advertised products too.
And that's exactly what advertisers want.
As a matter of fact RingToneMaker is doing good business.
@ginette:
Thanks but there is a jungle of people doing the same.
Yours is a drop in the ocean.
@xsultan:
I said thieves because they closed my account on the very same day they should have paid me.
They could have just said it before.
Same happened here. $4100 vanished, Google claimed "Invalid clicks" but refused to give any details. Never had any kind of bot or unethical behavior on the site. Now they stopped replying back to the emails.
What's the best AdSense alternative?
ioipodusbdevice: startipodstack can't start!need configuration! ----when i jailbreaked the i touch it display such message.... is it brick , or any one can help to solve such problem!!!
Wow, that's just rotten! I hope you get your money back.
yes im soo sorry but is just money.. Dont worry about it
more will come...
:)
yo zibri i have a small business and i just wanted to know what advertiser do you use ?? thanx dude
Hey Zibri greetings from Venezuela.
I´m sorry for that, throw away google.!!!
Someone help i tried to jailbreak my phone now the screen is just black with the apple sign and froze
Zibri: first, congrats for your great job.
Second, I just wonder, would google billed the advertisers for the clicks they are not paying you? if they dont, good for google but, if so, and that's what I believe, google is stealing everyone in the deal.
dane, you need to reset iphone by holding power and home button together. Than bring iphonr in DFU mode, once in DFU mode using iTunes restore iPhone firmware to latest 1.1.4. Download Ziphone and run...
Your comment has been saved and will be visible after blog owner approval. <- HAHAHAH looser
YOU Helped us, NOW we´re goin´to HELP YOU. We are going to double or triple that amount.. just leave it to >>>US.<<<
@Sam,
You seem to be the loser here. No balls, just your loser drive-by posts. Maybe in your inbreed part of the world, where you derive excitement after dismount your sister, this is the place you come to vent. Do yourself a favor and finally out yourself and let go of the anger.
Hi Zibri,
Well done on your great program its a great invention! I am sorry for the 4000 loss. Google suck!
When will the new ziphone 7 update be released? Soon?
Thanks
thanks for doing what you do...google took my first $100 and cancelled my account too. I wonder if they pay anyone. From 579cm.blogspot.com!

IOIpodUSBDevice::starIpodStack can't start! Need Configuration, please, i need help
man your sponsor software is windows only on an apple product.
This a joke?
thaxxxx zibri for ur ziphone. i already try to upgrade my iphone to 1.1.4 n succes with ur ziphone 2.6
there's some problem rith my iphone now, i can't install any package form iphone intaller. it's always come with "error package download failed!"
can u help me with that?
Hi Zibri.
I thought it was just me, but now kovasih says here he also had the problem.
But I dont know if its a Ziphone problem or a Sources problem cause I had JB before with no problem but just yesterday I got the problems, the "error package download failed".
Can you check it out cause i know what you do is good, and i want my JB working again!
Please give me an answer
Thanks!!
Zibri,
I had the same problem of Kosasih.
But its strange because I had JB before with no problems, just got the "error package download failed" yesterday.
Can you check it out and give me an answer please, I need my ipod JB and working again!!
Thanks
Doesn't anyone "effing" read?
Zibri does not write or maintain the installer program. READ, READ, READ. If it does not work it is not his fault or his problem to fix. Get an "effing" life and bother to read.
Kosasih, you need to install first BSD Sub System, if you can't download/install it, than restart iPhone (power+Home button), than refresh installer, hope that will solve the problem.
Want to see another thief!

I need HELP!!! Is there a way to lock the iphone back up without a computer? My phone wont hook up to the computer at all and I have tried everything. I need to send it to apple but its unlocked and that will void my warrenty so please please I need HELP!!
Hello!
I cannot find an email link to your blog so I can't email. So hopefully you will monitor and read this "post" or question to your ZiPhone (hack) app.
I am just wondering, once the iPhone has been unlocked by ZiPhone, does it include, or rather, will I be able to play customize Ringtones? Namely the AAC songs, or MP3s from my iTunes?
Or do I have to download additional software/app from the 'Installer' that will be installed on the phone after the procedure.
Thanks and cheers
Same happened here! 40.00 Gone! I never made a DIME off Ad Sence! Maybe we should take this Further, get the word out!
Sorry to hear what happened with you.
Hope the logo i uploaded on flickr makes you feel better :)
I may have found another site selling ziphone :/
http://www.sbelectronics.org/
product_p/iphoneunlock.htm
I think we will save money for the next major release to donate it. you deserve it! I do not like your music so much but your way of thinking about software :)
allow me a question:
what do you think about the rumors about a 3G iPhone in June? Is in your opinion a "jump" expected like going to a much better CPU or somethng like that?
I am not to desperate to use UMTS with an iPhone but if there are other hardware I can't upgrade to my existing iPhone...
Keep up the good work!
I've got a problem, after upgrading to 1.1.4, everything worked fine except 2 things... one is BSD subsystem I couldn't reinstall it, it keeps saying package download failed... But i could install other stuffs in installer... why is that?
2nd thing is all my application installed previously were all not appeared in the springboard but they remain installed in installer. I know reinstalling it could fix the problem some apps need BSD subsystem like iPhysics. Well if anyone could please help thanks!
HEY PEOPLE I LOVE ZIPHONE!!!
WHAT IF THEY WHERE JUST SENDING THE CHECK NO OFFENSE TOWARDS ZIBRI I RESPECT HIM VERY MUCH
NAMASTE
hi I'm new to blogging and i am really sorry about your loss
but i was wounding weather people have been having issues with the mail application, it keeps telling me that there is either no/incorrect password.
i have tried restoring, and unlocking and I've run it on multiply windows xp machines, help would be awsome
IcyHammer, i already try what u said. i already installed bsd subsystem 2.1 before (when my iphone still 1.1.3), so i reinstall it. N still come with Error package download failed.
i already install some app that's work like ebooks, im n genesis 4 iphone. but i can't install other app i need.
any suggest?
@shaun:
I never said CLICK. I just said "support" which means buying advertised products too.
And that's exactly what advertisers want.
Zibri: Go READ the TOS for AdSense. You can't use words like "support" or anything else.
Try the multiple mail fixes in the installer...
hi zibri
i did a restore&update to 1.1.4
now itry to "do it all"
but it is on "working" like 25 minutes but should i do ?
Sorry to hear about the loss dude.
It hasn't quiet been a month for Touch Podium with the Google Ads, but I'll let ya know if they remove our ads as well - just before pay time.
I had a website "Gamers Riot (.com)" in which I held ownership of way back in the day (DON'T CHECK IT OUT NOW - it's been taken over by porn lovers), and it took me 6 months to save up $100.... When I finally got $100 in Google Adsense cash, Google had closed my account. That's ridiculous man.
Hell, it's only $100, and I was pissed.... $4000?.... I'd honestly be a little frustrated. (okay, a lot).
So, its good enough for their blogger pages, its good enough for their google code pages ... just not legit enough to get YOUR/ours money from them ? Awesome.
And this is illegal/immoral how? all this does is let ME use MY phone the way I want to, where I want to.
Go Go Google Go ... i hope none of their employees execs have used the app to jailbreak their phones ... oh the hypocrisy
If they're going to accept you into the program (AdSense) in the beginning, I see it as only fair if they actually PAY you - at LEAST once.
It isn't cool how they accept you into the program, then review your site AGAIN before payment, then decide not to give you your share of the AdSense money.
Google's a multi-billion dollar company. How can they not afford to pay us before having our accounts shut down?... They're jipping us from our share of the revenue, and they know it.
Google's getting FREE hits to their ads for a months (sometimes longer), and ARE getting paid for this... This is basically stealing - in a sense.
Speeking of money...did anyone saw this before: http://www.iphoneunlockuk.com/index.php
Actually they charge and who guesses which app they sell?
ZipPhone!
Looks like someone is still taking on you....
I just wanted to say that this is outrageous. Zibri is helping free the iPhone from the imprisonment it was given by Apple and AT&T, and this is what he gets?
I bet there was talkes between Google and Apple that lead to this.
hey zibri,
it sounds 2 me like the whole world is makin' $$$$$ off of ur program except u. on payday i will donate $5.00 2 ur cause. i know it's not much.
i paid a $1.54 on ebay 2 learn of ur site. i googled what i thought were all the ways 2 jailbreak my 8gb (it's all i could afford) ipod touch 4 free & never found ur website. i ran ur program & easily jailbroke my ipod. i now have 2 new icon's "zibri's blog" & the "installer" application. i m unable 2 use either 'em. an error message appears statin' either "safari can't open the page because it can't find the server" or "package download failed: can't find host!"
do i need access 2 a "wifi" network? i live n the middle of nowhere & have no access 2 a "wifi" network. i will have 2 go 2 a starbucks n lafyette 4 that. i have my ipod connected 2 my computer's usb 2.0 port thinkin' that may (just may?) help. it don't. can u (or some 1) plz help?
thx 4 ur time & help,
peace ...
p.s. sorry 4 the length of this. this is my very 1st blog (if it is a blog?).
Thankyou very much for giving your free product to world community.keep in mind you earn lots of good karma from around the world.i am very proud of you.About money, you will have your turn.
Namsta
Zibri, you will get more that they have stolen to you, we will donate more and more, but please stop those people who are selling your software.
Thanks for your generosity, you are wonderful and we love you.
Why don't you try "Adbrite", and "Bidvertiser" I use both on my site... they pay, and their not so strict or asinine.
Adwords, and google never worked for me... I got my account deleted there as well. Didnt quite lose as much as you, and they did it on the day they were supposta pay you? Wow. Thats lame. Best of luck to you, and keep doing what you do best.
Omg you got to help me i tried to reinstall Ziphone after I installed it in order to reset the installer and now my Iphone is bricked and it is stuck on the scrren writing white on black and spamming :
BSD root: md9, major2, minor 0
I tied to reset it but it still does that
Please help me, my e-mail is: flobundy@yahoo.de
dude that sucks that you got ripped off. It pisses me off that google, as rich as they are, would do that to someone. The ZiPhone worked flawlessly on my touch w/1.1.4. Thanks!
Read the google policy, as this is one kind of illegal work to give the crack of something.
But your work is appreciative
