Google Adsense – The Number of Ads You Can Show Has Been Limited

I received “The Number of Ads You Can Show Has Been Limited” notification on Google Adsense dashboard on 15th September 2022. Actually Google started to flag it on 13th September 2022 and stop showing ads on 15th September.

It means that Google will stop showing ads to your website pending further investigation by Google and due to this I have zero daily revenue for my website.

Why The Numbers of Ads Has Been Limited?

According to Google’s website, this is due fishy traffic from illegal way of getting traffic to the website.

It is automatic detection by Google. When it is flagged, Google team will evaluate and Google doesn’t give any timeline how long it takes them to evaluate. Based on other people experience it took 2 – 4 weeks to lift the ban or continue it until the illegal traffic is resolved.

Why Google Automatically Detected My Website’s Traffic Is Fishy?

I suspected that due to my website’s traffic pattern which has a spike on certain period of time and suddenly drop drastically.

I know this based on Google Analytics statistics. I have one article where I have sudden increase and sudden drop of visitors based on certain period where it is normal due to the nature of its content.

What To Do?

When I check my Google Analytics I didn’t have any spike of bots visits to my website or any kind of fishy traffic.

So I decided not to do anything because I know I didn’t do anything illegal on my traffic.

Of course I don’t have any more my daily income but based on all articles I read, it is best to do nothing if the traffic is legal.

Google Started To Show Ads

After not showing any ads on 15th September, Google started to show ads on 27th September 2022. I started to earn very small income and it grows slowly.

Conclusion

If you don’t have any illegal traffic just wait for Google to evaluate the automatic detection by their system.

Washing Machine Double or 2 Way Pipe Drainage DIY

I have two washing machines one is Electrolux washing machine and dryer and the other one is Samsung washing machine.

When I want to use Electrolux to dry my clothes I have to switch the water pipe (It use water for steam to dry the clothes) from Samsung to Electrolux and to change the drainage water as well.

One day I forgot to change the drainage and made my floor flooded.

I found the double drainage sold on Shopee but I wasn’t sure whether it will fit into my current drainage.

What to Do?

Having 2 washing machines means I have to have 2 inlet water sources for the 2 washing machines and 2 way drainage.

So I need to:

Install a 2 way washing machine drainage
Change my single water faucet to double water faucet (2 outlets)

Double or 2 Way Washing Machine Drainage

So I decided to do it myself the drainage using 32mm PVC and T & elbow joints of 40mm. I use white tape to seal the joint between the PVC and the current washing machine drainage.

Ensure wrap lots of white tapes even outside of the T-joint to avoid any water leaking. Besides, I used PVC glue around the white tapes and the PVC joints.

It costs me around RM20 for the PVC and the white tapes.

Change of Single Washing Machine Faucet Nozzle to Double Nozzle

Change of single faucet nozzle to tway faucet nozzles.

Faucet Water Tap with Washing Machine Nozzle

My washing machines hose both need to screw to the faucet but the two way only provide one nozzle that can screw to it the other one need to hook it.

So I needed to buy new hose that can hook to the faucet & buy a converter / adaptor.

The Completed Two Way Faucet Nozzles and Washing Machine Water Drainage

I am happy with the final outcome. There is no water leaking from the faucet and the washing machine drainage. Now I can easily switch which washing machine that I want to use.

Costs:

PVC pipe, Joints and white tape: RM20
Two Way Faucet Nozzles: RM29
Washing Machine Hook Hose: RM10
Total: RM59

I use my existing PVC glue so I don’t factor it in here.

Downlight LED Cielo Model DL-L/183F/12W/CIE

I use Cielo downlight LED for my kitchen lamps. I installed it in 2013 and had to replace the downlight LED this September 2022. After nearly 12 years, the Cielo downlight started to be deemed.

Fortunately it was easy to find Cielo downlight at my favorite hardware shop Chin Chun.

Cielo downlight has 2 years warranty and priced at RM16++.

I found Cielo is reliable products as I only needs to change it after 10 years and the kitchen lamps are used quite frequent.

Extreme Park Shah Alam – Playing Inline Skating

Shah Alam has its own extreme park where you can play inline skating, skateboard and rock climbing.

I went there with my kids so they could play inline skating. I was a bit surprise the park is quite good condition because I read few bad reviews on the place.

We went to the extreme park on 8 September 2022 from 430PM till 630PM. Then we went dinner at Burger Kings next to the extreme park. My kids really enjoyed their first trip to the extreme park. Even tough they were beginners they could play safely at the extreme park.
