    Hello,

    This morning all of sudden google put an hold to my payments. They say some invalid clicks have been detected and after investigation they will take further action. I have never clicked on any google. I guess some disgruntle person mught have done. OR is it because some 2 days back for one refferal conversion I got $ 321. Is it possible to get such large sum for just one conversion or something is wrong. I guess that advertiser mught have complained to google and they decided to investigate on it.

    Does anyone has any idea what maybe wrong? I hope they don't banned my account.

    hi vegalinks,

    Did you write to google? And why you think they might have put hold to your payment? Also what did they ask in their mail to you when you contacted them? Can you give little more details so thar it can help me and others like me.

    Try to email google and if they don't reply, you have to do what Google Adsense Publishers do best, waiting in pain while Google handles our cash.

    i would say that never rely totally on Adsense because this is unreliable.
    i hope they don't ban you but who knows......they can ban you anytime.

    Just wait and see...if your payment is on hold... 99% chances is forget about your earning. I'm sorry to say this...but its fact. Daily thousands of accounts are blocked by google from that 20% accounts with no reason. we cant do anything in this case...we have to suffer...:-(

    If they don't pay me for last month so what are the chances of paying for the current month. I am still using adsense and get revenue from it. Will they renew my payment for the current month?

    If payment is on hold then you can still access your account? Go back and see if any days or channels are anomolies with high CTR. How much traffic do you mormally get?

    I checked and my average CTR is 8% for last month. Is this the reason? They are still investigating my account.

    It's almost more then 15 days now and I have not yet got any reply then the standard reply that Google is investigating. How long does it takes for them to investigate? Any Idea?

    I am thinking now to have get some good alternative to Google adsense. Does anyone knows of any good alternative to Adsense?

    Normally over a month, chances you won't get your account back.

    Why don't you switch to Yahoo Ad or MSN Ad
    I heard that they pay higher than Google Ad

    Stay in there, be optimistic.

    Switch to YPN or another ad network for now, so you don't lose 2 months earnings if Google doesn't come through.

    Too bad that after you have requested some money then that was the time you got banned. I wonder if google referral is indeed go to show in our blog or site.Most of the common invalid clicks comes from referrals.
