Hello all my adsense account had earned around 586$ in the month of August 2011, but when i see the payment history page i see Finalized earnings only 22$, so want to know why is there that much of a difference ?
First ask your self if you are not doing any kind of black hat method, this is the most plausible thing I can think regarding on your situation.
i'd asked a question and you're asking me a question, if i've to ask the google and contact 'em why would i've created a topic for this @ DP (Which ofcourse is to gain some knowledge abt this from DP members) hi blaize, i hav'nt used any black hat method, all ads were displaced at my forum, using normal ad placement methods.
must have a lot of discounted clicks, next step is probably a ban. If you want better answer ask them directly, don't be afraid if you have nothing to fear.
This forum is for discussing about adsense, but it's not a place to ask questions which can only be answered by an adsense representative. Not hard to understand, is it?
not a must, someone on this forum may have experienced this with their adsense account so there may be some people who can answer his question. anyways thats how i look at..otherwise you know better as you seem to be a reputable member on DP. thanks for clarifying.
1. simple,because they found that alot of invalid clicks, and illegal activity, 2. u will get ban next, so better email them and mention about illegal
You're really going to need to talk to them about that. The only time I've seen something like this happen is with illegal/blackhat activity. And since you didn't do that, something else is going on here.
It has to be for discounted clicks..... I would imagine the ban is definitely coming in your future..... Did you ever take part in any ppv activity? Could that is a definite possibility
Maybe somebody is sending paid to click traffic to your sites and trying to get you banned. You should check your traffic sources and see where the traffic is coming from. Check it and tell us where the traffic is coming from. If I were you i would remove adsense code for a few days because if this keeps going you will get banned very soon.
Honestly get a life! Stop bashing people with sensible questions. I'm sure you were a noob once a very long, long long time ago.This is the best forum to ask adsense questions as so many of us use it.
