Google Adsense and Yahoo?
It's naive to think that there will be no special arrangement and deals with big partners like Yahoo (or AOL or Washington Post). Of course the rules are different with the big fish and the small fish!
I would not even be surprised if the revenue sharing between Yahoo/Google is higher compared to the rest of us. Afterall, Google needs to make the deal sweeter to get the Yahoo account.
As for banning publishers, there have been reports of publishers who were accepted back again after review of their site. However, if Google thinks that there is indeed fraud, or the risk of having the site is more than keeping it, then unfortunately their loyalty is not to the publishers but to the advertisers. Afterall, it is the advertisers who pay the bill
Re communicating with Google -- if you actually reach a certain income, Google gives you an Adsense account rep that you can email and even call directly.
Do I think Google is a good company? As long as I earn the kind of money I earn from them, I'd think of them as always a good company :o)
