How many of you remember the Hollywood actress Veronica Lake from the 1940s? I didn’t think so. I’m always talking about a blogger, or for that matter any word-content worker, trying to bring out his or her uniqueness. A blogger or a wordsmith wants to stand out in some little way from all of the other millions of online wordsmiths. Veronica Lake was known for her peek-a-boo hair style. Her hair always covered one of her eyes. In the 1940s, this was pretty original. It helped to make Veronica Lake a big star. The photo of her included for this article does not do true justice to her peek-a-boo hair style. You hardly ever saw both of her eyes.

Early in my blogging career I wanted to be a big star, too. I knew I was a pretty good wordsmith; but that didn’t make me stand out enough. So, I thought I would publish adult material. But my blog would be different. My blog would not contain the usually poorly thrown together content. To my blog I would bring all of my skills from years of being a wordsmith, from two degrees in the field and an ability to give an infinite amount of attention to detail. My blog would not only excite the libido; it would also excite the mind. In other words, it would be unique.
The hits started flowing in. Readers started to click left and right on my Google ads. My dream of big money began to come true. Google warned me several times about my adult content. But I couldn’t stop. I was on my way to being a big time blogger. Finally, it happened. I lost my Adsense account. In desperation I deleted my sex blog. It was too late. I was banned for life.
I find that sharing my own missteps may serve as a warning to other bloggers and wordsmiths. This is why I have to stay with Yahoo! ads here at Triond.
I was very, very lucky.
Whatever happened to Veronica Lake? She was popular during WWII. Women in the war factories imitated her peek-a-boo hair style and this caused a dramatic increase in female workers getting injured on the job because they couldn’t see properly with all that hair in their faces.
Veronica Lake did the patriotic thing. She cut her hair. It was the end of her career.

Sorry you had to learn it the hard way! It was hard to quit while you were ahead. Thanks for sharing your experience. You came out a better man.
You know sometimes you just have to push a little.
Nice work….well done…
One of the hardest things in any venture is knowing how to quit when you’re on top.
Everything happens for a reason
It is better to invent one’s own hairstyle to stay on.
An honest assessment of your situation is a fair warning to others.
Adsense clearly states the guidelines people just tend to ignore them, good article.
nice article
point taken and thank you for all your tips
To pursue our dreams we tend to over look many times not repeating the mistakes is important it happens.but thxs for the share
Great one! Its interesting.. keep it up. N thanks for the post,also go tru the one which I recently posted.. Thanks!!!
Its is a tricky one for sure, I’ve seen loads of bloggers on Triond talking about the art of oral sex etc, and they get published, but for me its a no-go area (Not oral sex) but writing about sex on line, the hits I’m sure will come in but you have shown it as something not to do. Good share LB
a very clever entry, and its it really true that women that worked in factories were injured due to their style of hair? Again a very clever bio-info write Frank
Good information and thanks for sharing your personal experience. Fame apparently always comes with a price.
Hey, writing is art is creativity right? Creativity is imagination, and imagination is infinite. If you like what you are doing keep on doing it, and if it’s working well, continue, no one’s stopping you.
Thanks for the heads up. Live and learn, right?
Great article, I got banned from Adsense, and I don’t even know why. How did you contact them, so I too can let people know what NOT to do.
Great and thoughful article
I gave up on adsense. Thanks for the warning, I hope it helps some people, I dont think I could create that sort of content even if I wanted to.
Guy, thanks for the advise. I was banned too and I have no idea why. I don’t think I wrote anything too sexy.Sorry about you though.
Informative share.. Google adsense seems to be nonsense to me.
Well Im glad u r still around, I enjoy reading your articles.
I do remember Veronica Lake
Adsense is a stickler for terms and conditions. A lot of accounts are getting banned these days, most of them affiliate marketeers.
Like the part about V Lake cutting her hair due to industrial accidents
nice post, thank you for sharing your experience. It may serve as a guideline.
Thanks for the information! Google does state rules and Regulations, but this is clarity!
Very interesting
So adsense does has rules like that. Thank you for reminding us.
Thanks for sharing your experience. Tough lesson learned.
Interesting, but I kept wondering how Veronica connects to sex blogging. My articles also push the envelope but in an innocent way.
Thanks for that one cheers
lol all that hair in there faces, blindness.
I probably learned something here.
Oh boy, you’ve imitated Veronica Lake (in a way)? Sorry for losing your account because of that.
Thanks for the story of your experience.
Aww sad
Nice article by the way, very interesting 
Good ideas; though I doubt I would write about sexual content as I couldn’t even write about the causes of infertility.
Very good site.. thanks webmasters…
