    I have no idea why I have received this email from Adsense as I have not added any of my sites to any of these paid to surf sites!

    What should I do? I can still log into adsense & I still am accumulating money, but when I log in I have this message:

    Send an email to adsense support asking the name of the sites causing problem and what steps you should take to rectify it.

    Just go through that link "Action is required to release payment." and see what they want you to do or else ask them through their contact page.

    Do you really buy traffic? It isn't worth.

    No, I don't buy any traffic from anywhere, neither through adwords or links on people's sites.

    It's unlikely they are wrong about this. Buying links/ads isn't an issue - it's buying/trading bulk traffic directly that they don't like. This includes traffic exchanges like TrafficSwarm, BlogMad and BlogExplosion.

    Looks reasonable but instead of mentioning Adlogger just say 'click detection measures' - they don't approve of Adlogger either!

    Assuming you did not buy traffic through traffic exchange or something, did you get stumbleupon traffic?

    Not sure which site it was in regards to, but I have been setting up proxies as well. Will check out your link.

    Don't think so. Don't think many people have stumbled my sites.

    That's dumb. I got the same message too. Exactly as quoted.

    I've ran adlogger but it wasn't working so I got rid of it. I put it back on but I don't think that it will work.

    Google is so retarded. You'd think if their service is so good the least they can do is come out with a adsense controlled system so that there cannot be anyone click multiple times with the same ip.

    But nope. They would rather watch me beg for my 13 cents a day until I get banned.

    Jeez they get on my nerves!

    This has also happened to me and my proxy site. If Mubin's right, there aren't going to be many proxies left soon, and I imagine 7,000 of them bring in a small percentage of Google's revenue, they should work with us and the advertisers, not just the advertisers. :(

    Walesalex, I suggest taking down all adsense ads for awhile.

    This is bad for proxy owners, I see alot of them being shutdown this month.

    For some more suggestions read the blog, and see what you can do to continue making money.

    Would you recommend taking down the proxy until this gets all sorted out, or could that cause more problems with Google if the revenue drops significantly?

    Me personally I would take down the adsense ads, if you read my blog post there are other ways that you can monetize the proxy...

    I think you should take down your ads for a little while.
