It is on November 22, 2009 that Triond has implemented the option to include or integrate Google Adsense ads into their Triond articles for all Triond writers (min. 5 articles). Although it was started in phase by phase first giving chance for established members who were earning above $1 per month or have written more articles, it was found to be successful and implemented for all members.
But several Triond writers did not take this option including myself. There were warnings like it is a risky gamble with Google Adsense which is renowned for banning accounts of users just when they are about to reach their payment threshold which is $100. It is terribly sad to know such incidents. Some renowned articles on this topic include:

Update: 1 April 2010
Source: Unoffical, uncofirmed google adsense online rumors
These incidents were happening isolatedly for many adsense users since many years. But a network of websites totally getting banned is a new thing.
To know what happens after ads are banned: no ads will be displayed. Even triond’s older Yahoo! Ads will not be displayed as Google adsense is a one-way system here. You can only integrate but not disintegrate.
There is a question by a Triond member on disintegrating Google adsense from their account at getsatisfaction.com. But so far it is not answered till satisfaction. It looks some users do not see any button to click to remove Google adsense ads.
When you cannot do this it will look like this. No ads at all except those banners at the top and sides which do not any noticeable money. This user certainly lost everything now although articles are there still showing and eating up Triond’s network bandwidth.
If you want to play with Google adsense without loosing hard earned money you should try placing ads on your works that are just for fun mostly on your blog. Don’t gamble with Google Adsense. Bukisa is fine as it pays from their own account directly though associated with Google.
Anyway, now this is intended to be a April 1st rumor. Hope you enjoyed the work.
Very good for April 1st. I really didn’t know it was for this purpose…kewl.
perfect for april fools…so far google adsense is doing well for me,as a matter of fact i just received my payment last march 25
@nobert,
That is great to know for inspiration. But it shouldn’t be a surprise. You were already doing well with Triond ads. Did your Adsense earnings earn at the same rate or faster as many people noticed for themselves?
Wow, you made a BIG FOOL here! I almost trapped by your statement. BTW, it was a great read here. Thanks and clicked you liked it.
@CHAN,
Thanks for visiting and commenting.

Blessings.

Happy April First. Of course that was better than killing Google.
How mysterious . I’m sure I will be able to figure it all out eventually . I think I know what you are talking about but I hope that it doesn’t make too many sad . j
@Liane, Thank you for reading and commenting. It worked well.
@deep blue,
Thanks and happy April first to you too.
perfect idea for april fool. Nice to share.
Great article, but I was still wondering why my Google AdSense still showed. But if this were real, I presume Google would only fool itself, since they would lose money due to it. Great share, thanks.
@seema,
Thanks for the comment. Yes, but it can only be shared with fellow triond writers for good result.
@MartineP,
Thanks for visiting and commenting.
Apparently not everyone using Google adsense is earning at the same rate. Overall earning rate is what matters to Google. For individual writers it is a lot of experimental effort to optimize the ads for better earnings.
Happy April Fool’s Day.
All I know is google is a multi billionare company and they will really pay to those people who will obery their rules and regulations.
Another interesting news (:)) today.
ProBlogger Acquired by Google
“ProBlogger, the web’s #1 Blog Tips site, today announced that it has been acquired by Google.”
Google is playing some gamest today
@pearl2010, Thanks and happy April fool’s day to you too.
Google is the most clever internet company. It can play tricks without being caught
Only few people on this planet successfully sued Google (Adsense).
HA HA April fool. Good one.
Google Adsense had banned Bukisa too. Bukisa is no longer using the Google ads. Things are getting bad with google.
Thank you Jamie. I wanted to make more such ones but I had other works to do.
I’m a skeptic and sure enough the last line told the truth. Until there is confirmation, I believe half of what I see and even less of what I hear and read.
great prank, nearly caught me off gaurd
Funny, funny!
@Carolyn Cordon,
Thanks for the comment.
I hope is only April Fool joke …
Now that you have done spoke of it, I hope it doesn’t happen for real. Don’t give Google the thought.
@Malaysia,
Yes it is only April fool joke.
@Gail Nobles,
It won’t happen for real. Unless we have serious problem like the illegal traffic exchange used by some members etc. It happened for Bukisa.
@Guy Hogan,
It worked well. Thanks for the comment.
@lovenluck,
Thank you, it worked well.
If Google bans your site, then stop using Google adwords. If everyone does this Google may think twice.
you took me in – mind you it’s April 7th now
@revivor,
Thank you. Yes, one week is over since then. A lot of triond writers must have been scared at first.
This is where it ends. It got half a thousand views in a week. But the earnings were meagre, but enough to pay for a breakfast. However the original intention to fool fellow triond friends in April month was served well.
I’m glad it was just a prank. You had me going for a minute.
Lol, I just looked at this page in shock and did not understand as 1st april is long gone now and I still earn from adsense showed with my work here
EPIC
how many views do u get average per day, mines is 2-3k
nomiscloud, about 7k-8k bukisa & triond combined.
