    Hi guys today i opened my email and i saw an email from adsense it says:

    Hello Maher Aljabri,

    It has come to our attention that invalid clicks or impressions have
    been generated on the Google ads on your site(s) through users of
    third-party programs paid or provided with other incentives to visit
    your site. Such programs include, but are not limited to auto-surf,
    pay-to-surf, pay-to-read, or pay-to-click sites.

    Please bear in mind that if we continue to detect invalid clicks or
    impressions from these services on your ads, we may disable your
    account to protect our advertisers. In addition, we may adjust your
    future payments for any days during which invalid clicks occurred in
    order to properly credit advertisers for any invalid activity.

    We understand that you may wish to receive specific information
    regarding the invalid activity we observed on your account. However,
    due to the proprietary nature of our algorithm, we cannot disclose any
    details about how our monitoring technology works or what specifics we
    found on your account.

    Hello,

    Please relax and do not panic, just email adsense support with your website logs and remember to write a detailed email to them.

    While writing the email, be polite and talk to them on point.

    I am sure they will help you out

    Well if you are sure that you are not doing anything wrong there is either someone clicking your ads thinking they are helping or someone is doing it to get you the "Adsense Death Penalty" meaning getting banned.

    I think this can also happen if you have very few unique visitors but they visit most days and click ads.

    I had the same email a long time ago and it ended up being a friend of mine thinking that by clicking a few ads every day he was helping but he really was doing the oppisite.

    Hope this helps you little.

    Hi,
    If you have not done anything wrong just explain that to google in an email ASAP.
    The check the stats of your site and see where the clicks on your website are coming and check that site whether that site has your site link and if that site is appropriate.
    Thanks

    Reply to their email. Tell them that you are not in any paid to surf/click program. Tell them that you are going to take your ads off for a week and then put them back up.

    Generally if you can take the ads off for a week then if there is a person who is purposely trying to get you banned he will think you did get banned when the ads don't appear and forget about your site.

    Then again if you make lot's of money from google ads you might not want to take them off for a week.

    The worse thing you can do is nothing. Contact them and offer to comply with any statistics they need and ask if there is any way they can help you identify where the invalid clicks are coming from.

    You can get banned by someone else using those types of programs on your site. If you're using Statcounter or similar and can find where these clicks are coming from you can stop that kind of traffic from coming to your site by adding the offending site to an .HTAccess file in your sites root.

    here's an article on the subject:

    Well not exactly relax. My client got his account suspended because he used adsense in a "Domain name sales" website which had the word "casino" in the domain, but had to do nothing with gambling. He thought he could relax even tho i told him to immediately remove the ads and contact Google and tell them what the site is all about. The next morning he found his account closed with $50 in it. So relax, would not be the exact word, instead, block your ads from your site/s contact google, and clarify whats going on.
