I never thought it would happen to me, but what do ya know? Even the decent publishers get screwed...
I'm sorry to hear that Most people who do get banned though have clicked their own ads or had others click their ads for them at some point in time... Assuming this wasn't something you did, you can possibly appeal to Google for reinclusion in the Adsense program (Check out some of the other threads here on advice on the best way to go do that). If that doesn't work and they turn down your request, then just move on to the next thing; theres a few dozen other revenue programs out there
They sent me "invalid clicks" email. Well I've appealed, hoping for my account back and with my money untouched within 48 hours.
Don't hold your breath. It is a holiday weekend in the US now, and I would not expect you to hear anything earlier than next Tuesday at this point.
Well, first off, were you doing anything fraudulent? I always find the spammy clicks and ban the IP's. That seems to raise my income AND helps with that problem.
I also got banned this morning for "invalid clicks". I've already sent them an appeal and am hoping for the best. I did feel really gutted for a few hours but having read around the forums I've noticed that AdSense isn't the only thing that pays well.
I know when my friend got banned they got a warning letter? I do not think Google just ban people. They have your cookies they know what computer you sitting on and they know loads of stuff that you do not want them to know. I doubt that google just ban people. I know my friends was clicking away and i was scared beucase i had the same server as them since the rented from me. But google did not say anything to me. I kept a dialog with google alive and i have maybe 100 emails from them. Feel sorry for you guys but you must know why you got banned?
I hope so! Then down with the google giant! But, that's all ASSUMING Yahoo's is better. I would bet on it though!
Read my post i USED YAHOO for advertiser ! I paid to get my stuff out, i spend about 1000 $ a month i get it back from Adsense plus traffic from my sites. Thought i try yahoo but they really suck. So no no no i did not get money from yahoo and i would not spend any money there either
