I’m still in shock

Google have just sent me an email saying i’ve been banned from adsense for ‘invalid clicks’!! No warning, no notice, no explanation – account suspended just like that.

It’s a mystery.. i mean, most of my sites have been running for 3/4/5/6 months + with no trouble, so i can only assume the placement/blending etc.. is ok. Also the email specifically says ‘invalid clicks’. That means i’ve most likely been click bombed by someone or else i’ve broken some other rules which i’m not aware off..

I’ve immediately appealed, as i feel this is very harsh. Surely multiple clicks could be seen and acted upon by google.. i’ve no software to track clicks, so i can only base my opinions on traffic and logs and adsense clicks, which last time i checked – yesterday – didn’t appear to be suspicious.

So just like that, i’ve been knocked on the head by google. Just goes to show you can never bank on anything having read through forums and stories, i doubt i’ll be accepted back in – as I can’t prove i’m innocent – all i can do is offer to supply logs which won’t prove anything. If it is someone ‘click bombing’ me, well, congratulations.. job done

It’s a massive blow if i don’t get back in, and highly frustrating as i know i haven’t been involved in click fraud, plus i had about $80 sitting in my account.. but it won’t stop me.. if anything it will spur me on even more to show you can survive without adsense..
