I've seen too many developers buy domains that are banned from AdSense without knowing. Google doesn't provide a public status API, so you need a reliable way to check. The SERPSpur AdSense Banned Site Checker performs a triple-signal audit to determine if a site is banned or not. It's saved me from bad investments multiple times.
python
import requests
def check_adsense_ban(domain):
# Triple-signal approach (simplified)
signals = {
'adsense_code': f'http://{domain}/ads.txt',
'google_analytics': f'http://{domain}/analytics.js',
'domain_reputation': f'https://www.google.com/search?q=site:{domain}'
}
for signal, url in signals.items():
response = requests.get(url)
if response.status_code != 200:
return f'{signal} failed—possible ban'
return 'Site appears clean'
print(check_adsense_ban('example.com'))
This snippet gives you an idea, but the tool does it properly. Use it here: https://serpspur.com/tool/adsens-banned-site-checker/

Interesting approach! I've been burned by banned domains before. Do you find the triple-signal method catches all cases, or are there edge cases where a site might pass the checks but still be banned? I'd love to hear about any false negatives you've encountered.
Nice tool, thanks for sharing. I usually just look up the domain in Wayback Machine to see if it ever ran ads, but your triple-signal method seems more systematic. Have you tested it against known banned domains to see accuracy?
Interesting approach. I've been burned by expired domains before—never thought to check ads.txt as a signal. Do you find false positives common with this method?
