yesterday i got following message from adsense. "We recently detected a significant level of invalid activity on your AdSense ads. Specifically, we found that users of third-party programs may have been paid or provided with other incentives to visit your site or click on your ads. Such programs may include, but are not limited to: auto-surf, pay-to-surf, pay-to-read, and pay-to-click sites. Please note that any method that artificially generates clicks or impressions on Google ads is strictly prohibited by our program policies, as such activity may inflate an advertiser's costs or a publisher's earnings." i didn't do any invalid activities on my account. My CTR around 8.00. but i registered in www.simplerefs.com web site. is it the reason for above message?
That's a very high Click-Through-Rate. Google are going to watch the activites of your site closely if you've got CTRs in that range. If the site that you joined artificially inflates the number of clicks or impressions, then you could find yourself banned... quickly. I would advise you to remove your site from them as quickly as possible if you value your AdSense account. It looks like Google are monitoring you site closely. You've got to sort out the source of activity that is alerting them to your site. If you don't sort things out soon you will loose your account. Good luck with everything.
contact google and tell them you didn't do those clicks. they can track which ip is clicking the ads so, they can easily find out it wasn't you
Believe me, i know from experience that they WILL close your account permanently, very soon, unless you take strong action to stop any potential problems immediately. 8% CTR is very high, so you should probably stay away from any site that is generating that kind of click through rate.
well I have visited your website as they said in their mail that you provide incentive to your user to visit yoru site and it clearly shows to your website how that you say something like this. =============== Affiliate program We also offer a three level affiliate program in which you earn credits from those you have referred to SimpleRefs.com. Your downline earnings are 15% - 10% - 5% for each subsequent level. ============== which clearly means incentive visitors just contact them and explain about your program clearly, you still have chance ... best of luck
it's clear that there is a person who clicks again and again on the ads on your site. Many publishers got banned in adsense because of this.
i see few comments above about 8% CTR being very high CTR. 8% CTR is nothing actually! i had 35% - 40% CTR on couple of my sites for 2+ years without having any issue. as long as the clicks are valid, CTR doesn't matter.
Make your ctr below 5 % now a change your website content update it and mail to google about this problem if you got any invalid clicks then only your account will be safe ...
If you are aiming at long time relationship with Google then you need to avoid such auto traffic websites.
Best traffic for adsense is through search engines. If Google finds you are getting more traffic from suspicious sites or direct hits, then they start observing your ad clicks.
