Google Adsense Account Banned/Disabled

[agent14]

Hello user account,

It has come to our attention that invalid clicks have been generated on
the Google ads on your site(s). We have therefore disabled your Google
AdSense account. Please understand that this step was taken in an
effort to protect the interest of the AdWords advertisers.

A publisher's site may not have invalid clicks on any ad(s), including
but not limited to clicks generated by:

- a publisher on his own web pages
- a publisher encouraging others to click on his ads
- automated clicking programs or any other deceptive software
- a publisher altering any portion of the ad code or changing the
layout, behavior, targeting, or delivery of ads for any reason

Practices such as these are in violation of the Google AdSense Terms
and Conditions and program polices, which can be viewed at:

https://www.google.com/adsense/localized-terms?hl=en_US
https://www.google.com/adsense/policies?hl=en_US

Publishers disabled for invalid click activity are not allowed further
participation in AdSense and do not receive any further payment. The
earnings on your account will be properly returned to the affected
advertisers.

Sincerely,

The Google AdSense Team

This is blasphemy as I haven't done anything wrong. I'll give them a reply. You should be able to try your case, even a murderer who was seen to shoot a man is able to. Does Google think that they are God?

The thing is I got to US$130 in my account since March! March, April, May, June, July - 5 months and they ban me for invalid clicks. WTF?! Do they have common sense?

Check your logs and present them.

Yeah make sure because sometimes your competitor may be behind it. Sadistic people out there these days.

Thank You

[agent14]

I'll definitely have to give them my logs. I sent them an email already but if I get a reply I'll continue negotiating with them.

[Tyler Banfield]

Have you noticed any unusual activity in your logs?

[agent14]

No I don't see any fraudulent clicks. I see two I.P addresses clicking on 2 ads each. Nothing other than that.

Are you sure that there is no supicious activity.
do these things
1) Try hard to remember if you, even accidentally, clicked your ads
2) Examin your logs and keep doing it untill you find anything suspicious
3) If you notice even any smallest suspicious activity, do inform google about it, it would help them in manual investigation.

Keep in mind that google never bans anyone without a reason, there must be some reason, try to find it...

[agent14]

I checked. I emailed them but they haven't replied...and it is more than 24 hours. I will apply for a new account.

agent14:

Bear in mind that Google sends out that same boilerplate no matter what the infraction is. Even if you exhorted folks to click your links ("Please click my links! I'm broke!") or put pages with your AdSense in traffic exchanges (that violates the TOS), you'll get the same "click fraud" message.

So at this point, you don't even know what you did (and Google ain't gonna be telling you, unfortunately).

They take time, most likely 2-3 days minimum

Thats the pure stupidity.. It tells me that you didnt read TOS properly.
This is a pure cheat, once banned you are not allowed to participate in adsense program anymore.. better you get yout account reinstated (If they do that), Which, I doubt, is gonna happen

[agent14]

Well they replied with the details for the appeal. Now I've got one shot, I have sent off my appeal.

[Emperor]

This is been happening a lot lately. I think there’s always a chance you’ll get reinstated you certainly won’t be the first. Good Luck.

[agent14]

Thanks Emperor. I know that I won't be the first. I hope that I presented good enough facts.

[jeet]

Best of luck with appeal!!! Do not apply for another account because soon they will tell you that your new account is found to be related to an old one which was closed for ... and will close the new one also. This happens when you have already pasted all new adsense all over and got a few clicks also...

[WagerX]

This means that if someone wanted to they could easily burn the competition with ease?? There's got to be some better justification.. or means of tracking fraud.

Its easier for them to lock or ban account to safe guard them against fraud and there is only so much Google can see without any site logs so instead of taking a risk its safer for them to disable the account.

As far as I have seen anyone that hasnt done wrong and had their account disabled presented them with the site logs has been let back in again.

Competition can try and burn you but its possible to get the account back if the correct info is corrected, its a pain in the arse more than anything.


agent14 let us know how you get on and good luck.

Stupid question, how can you view the IP's that clicked your ads?

I was wondering the same thing.

[BingoBalls]

You would need a good click tracker to see those IP's. Personally I dont use a click tracker in fear of it going wrong.
