    Hi,
    i am adsense publisher from last one year and generates about 100 thousand impressions everyday. i never tried to cheat the system.But Today i got email from google saying that invalid clicks were generated from my acount and n the email they did not say that they have disabled my account. But i noticed that there is no ad on my website.

    Can anyone please advise that what should i do now(i have already emailed them). Or no-ads for account is normal when you receive a warning.

    Hello ,
    
    It has come to our attention that invalid clicks have been generated on
    the Google ads found on your site(s). In the future, we may adjust your
    payment for any days during which invalid clicks occurred in order to
    properly credit advertisers for any invalid activity.
    
    As a reminder, any method of generating invalid clicks is strictly
    prohibited. Invalid clicks include, but are not limited to, any clicks
    that are generated through the use of robots, automated clicking tools,
    manual clicks by a publisher on the publisher's own web pages or a
    publisher encouraging others to click on his ads.
    
    Publishers may not provide incentives of any kind to encourage or
    require users to click on the ads, due to the potential for inflation
    of advertiser costs. If we find your account to be in violation again,
    action may be taken against your account and payment may be withheld.
    Please be sure to review and remain in compliance with our Terms and
    Conditions and programme policies:

    Now you should install adsense trackers to track the clicks and in future if your got another email from 'G' submit the track results to prevent yourself...

    I am glad everything is fine now, you are one of the few lucky people who got a warning, most people just get banned.

    Hello,

    Did you eventually track the source of the 'invalid clicks'? What measures are you taking to prevent repeat circumstances?

    Cheers,

    I wonder if it is better to reply to them or just keep quite, take the required precautions and hope that something like this never happens again ? I get the feeling that if you get in communication, you may get under their radar more...

    I think some do get banned right away without getting a warning first, but these people have probably been up to something serious. In minor cases, google tends to email sending a warning.

    NameWolf, I think is not wise to keep it quiet. It can be interpreted as something else, unless that's what I learned from my last experience with Google.

    on a similar vien ...

    if there is a violation of TOS, does Google drop the Adsense on the particular URL, or drop your entire account?

    Thanks,

    (wondering what people do for multiple websites)

    They ban ALL your sites (your entire account). It happened to me, I thought I would pass out. :( but they gave me back my account after almost 2 weeks. :)

    I agree with you on that. If you got the warning just do what you have to do and see how things turn out. I don't know if responding is a very good idea???

    Good Morning All,

    Really had a good sleep

    BIG THANX TO GOOGLE;)

    Google Responded me in 6-7 hours with "blah blah". But it seems like my account is still in good condition.
    At this stage i get 3 million impressions a month and now i will target to reach 20 million ASAP.:p

    and can anyone share their adlogger settings. How many click from a single ip are acceptable in definite period of time.

    I mainly have returning visitors(forums)

    Regards

    If you're hitting three million impressions per month, why not look into other forms of generating revenue? I mean, I hit at most 100,000 page views per month and the money I make is not something I'd like to part with, and you have nearly 30x as many visitors as I do.
