Hello there, about 5 days ago i was checking my adsense stats. i found that my income started to decrease. i went to my inbox and found a message from google saying that my account was disabled because of click frauding. i was sooo shocked. since i was working soo hard to improve the website. i never ever clicked the ads. but maybe because in lebanon we work thousands of persons on the same ip... lemme get u the image more clear. last month i was earning about 30 cents/day suddenly, after i changed my website design and ads placement and opened a forum the second day i earned 25$ i was soooooo shocked when i saw that. i swear i stood about 10 minutes not understanding what happened? i told my friend about this. he told me it might be someone frauding your account to get banned. i got scared and messaged adsense about this and told them that my income decreased in an extra ordinary way and that i was afraid someone frauding me to get banned form adsense. the answer was thanks for contacting us about this issue. we will be monitoring your website... and they didn't reply since then... i was really happy with that revenue which i didn't expected. then it started to decrease and finally my account was closed. i messaged adsense about this issue with the old message i sent them. i don't know i have faith that my adsense will accept me back because they said that they are working on this issue... i had about 360$ in my account.
Try Adbrite or some other ad company and try to email Google until they answer you... If you didn't made any fraud, you may have a chance of getting your account back
But what are the chances that those 1000s of persons will also visit your site? Are we talking about a job here, or a neighborhood block sharing the same IP like a school? Or are we talking more spread out, in which case, what are the chances that those people will locate your site and click on your ads? Please clarify.
no my isp provides me internet using one ip his and he also provides the whole region. the company is called globalproof. my website is soo famous in lebanon, i even saw persons in cyber cafee talking about it or in bus when i m coming back home. about 40% is provided by that company which is simply using 1 ip and i connect to it to have connection. see? i only have network ip not internet ip it's networking system with dial up. i told them about everything the ip issue about the message i sent before. they replied to me twice and they said that they're going to check it... i m still waiting their reply i will feel really down if they refuse me. i tried casademedia by mistake i wrote 8000 unique visitors/month thinking that it was the hits/day. then i submited again. meanwhile i m waiting adsense respond. i hope they will get me back the account with the money i earned.
Click fraud dosent only mean that lot of ppl from same IP clicked your Ads. It has alot of diff meanings as well. Please post your URL, there might be something else which resulted in banning your A/C.
You posted this publically that u r below 18 and using AdSense. http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?p=821052#post821052 http://www.google.com/adsense/localized-terms - By enrolling in the Program, You represent that You are at least 18 years of age... You broke the TOS and they banned you. Plain and Simple! You broke another TOS here http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?p=843455#post843455
NO!!!! they said in reason: invalid clicks... it doesn't mean something else does it? the website www.vcoders.com
Whilst I have to say I do feel a little sorry for you as your mistakes seems to be naivety rather than outright bad you only have yourslef to blame really. On this forum you have broken one TOS by publishing your CPM etc and admitted to breaking two other TOS rules in applying underage and in a false identity. Surely you must have realised that Google will read forums like this and even if you didn't it was a bit silly to start telling people you were breaking TOS - even if Google didnt read your posts maybe someone reported you. I hope you can get your account back as you are over 18 now - you need to keep emailing google and be VERY apologetic and they may consider you. Don't get anbgry with me - accpet what you did and ask them nicely.
looking at your site and base on the information on your post about your revenue suddenly increasing after you installed a forum....that doesn't make sense...Looking at your forum I don't see that much active people or that many browsers. Also you have might have been banned for adult content...who knows.
i gave them everything i have and told them about everything. but yesterday i got an email that invalid click was comfirmed... and that if i contact them again they won't consider the appeal. i lost all the money i got from google. i think it's useless keep on nagging, they will just don't give it back. i was talking to my cousin yesterday and he asked me if he can place his ads on my website. is it against the tos? since i've seen many people doing it and earning so far.
Dude, seriously, take a second to think about what you just said. You just got booted out for invalid clicks, and now your cousin wants to put his ads on the site that just got you booted off for invalid clicks. If you're getting clicks from the same IP, don't you think it'll just happen to your cousin, too, and he'll get banned, too? Seriously, dude, take a breath and think about it...
There is tone of another whose also post that same. Even i am also banned by google. but think +ve and think about your next step. and make a your own computer, where you will only work... not another guys.
I am sure you can make money other ways. Just dont give up. Use other publisher networks, like AdBrite, TextLinkBrokers are also good ( i maked last month 150$ with no effort ). I wish you all the best, and don't give up because this problem can be a big step for you forward.
Thanks for the help guys, i tried clicksor yesterday. they have a wonderful system actually but unfortunately my visitors have to be 50% from canada, u.s , and uk which is impossible to get. i just registered at adbrite. i hope it works. Thanks again. Dany
IMO as long as you didn't fix the IP problem, it wouldn't matter which PPC company you use..the result will be ban at the end.
Mate, I am affraid that your banning has only to do with the fraudent clicks. "Invalid Clicks" is the generic term used by adsense team. Summary of what they answered me for something I asked them - You have clearly broken the TOS more than one time. 1) Any minor is not allowed to have adsense account 2) You can not open an adsense account on someone else's name 3) you are not allowed to show your CTR or any other statistics, other than your gross earnings. No matter how popular your site is, if you are a defaulter, then you're a defaulter.
