Right before they were supposed to pay out, they up and closed my account. It makes me mad, but their banners and links were so dang ugly. Plus, it's the same banners all over. Of course, they don't give a decent reason. All I can think of is that a lot of the traffic was from similar IP's. There seems to be some sites where people keep accessing my forum from. I guess if I ever want to participate in another PPC, I will have to block all of that traffic. How do you keep up with blocking IP's on forums? I see a lot of forums with Adsense, so there must be a key on how to do it. Of course, I didn't even think about those sites until too late. Live and learn. It does still annoy me though that they wait until right before they are supposed to payout. Maybe they thought I was paying a site for traffic or something.
You probably received too many fraud clicks. That's the way it works anyway. Forget about it and move on.
The other day I was asking about a script that can help prevent fraud clicks. Does it exists? Or what measure should and could be taken to prevent fraud clicks.?
I guess I will just try to watch the IP's better and block those that are many duplicates. Blocking duplicate IP's are the only thing I can think of to do. I don't want to be banned from any of the other PPC advertisers out there.
getting traffic from same ip will not ban you from adsense but getting clicks on advertisements from same ip will ban you definitely.
Are you talking about the last month's payout? Your finalized earnings will be calculated in the first 3 days of Feb, isn't it? When did they disable your account?
Remove your link from post. It should be in the signature section. Signature can be found from settings. But there are some rules before your signature becomes available.
Well, I was going to make $100 the first month, so I have to think that I was getting a lot of clicks from same IP's as most of the new members had the same IP addresses. Just a stupid mistake. I never thought to ban the IP's that were hitting my forum a lot. Live and learn.
But to be honest, this isn't your fault....what can you do if you get clicks with same IP? You can't keep blocking every IP in the world.......
It may occurs because of invalid click activity. Google tracks not only the user ip, they track cookie, visitor source as well.
One of the most important reason of Adsense banning is fraudulent clicks. You should be bit careful about it and when you suspect any you should immediately contact Google for same.
Sad to say "Google is God", Internet is owned by big Google. You are playing the game which Google set the rule.
man i think you break Adsense rules and you ban form google and may be you make fraud clicks avoid these points than you will not bane in future
I experienced the same thing. I earned 100Euro but unfortunately, I was banned in Google. The payment is suppose to arrive the end of February.. How nice
Most of us have problem with reading and understanding the rules. We pay the price at the time of payment. If we could have been a little bit more careful and hadn't been lazy spending time knowing the rules properly, the results could have been the opposite. You could have been said that you got paid. You can always use forums like Digital point to gather knowledge, to know what is allowed and what is not. Ask members for a review and advice. Google simply do not have the time to explore all the sites, they just do it when it mattes, the payment time. It's cruel but it's a punishment as well.
