    Email them and supply your server stats and any other info they ask for. Did they give any more information about the invalid clicks?

    If you clicked on your own ads while testing your site, you should have told them immediately. I had this problem and took immediate action by contacting Adsense support to say I was making changes to my website and accidently clicked on one of them.

    I'm not saying you DID click on them, but it could happen accidently.

    Another possibility is that somebody else clicked on your ads multiple times.
    Google sees this as click fraud. This may be not YOUR fault, but in Google's opinion it is possible that you ask somebody to click on the ads.

    Again, I'm NOT saying you did that, but these things happen.

    To avoid all that you better track all the traffic and clicks by using a tracker program. I know, since the Google changes in June most Adsense trackers are not able anymore to track URL's.

    Using Adsense is not a right, Google gives you the opportunity to earn revenue from the ads on your website. So, whatever happens they have the right to close your account at any time.

    To avoid that, you'd better be friendly in every communication you have with Google support. I know people who got their account back, but they could prove that somebody else comitted click fraud on their sites, by showing the stats.

    So, just try and tell them the truth.

    those "hardly any visitors" were probably clickbombing u unless those were u !!!

    just appeal it - give them stats of the recent IPs recorded and whatnot, and pray that they'll reinstate u, which is a thin chance

    If they keep your account disabled then try a different one similar to adsense.

    or maye show us the email contents. anyway, just appeal only if you have a proof, without it , you will not get your account back. and if you really can not get it back, there are still some other alternatives to choose instead of adsense. (even it's not as good as adsense but you still can earn something.)

    If you get this mail, it simply means you are banned from adsense and your account won't be re-enabled. Google gives a shit on logs, explanations or anything, I don't know a single case with an account locked for invalid clicks ever activated again...even if the ban was totally unjustified and the logs clearly showed what happened.

    This ban is automated, there wasn't even a human looking at your site, their software says you cheated and they won't care even if you have thousands of dollars sitting in your account.

    Happened to me once, went trough this whole thing, every line you write them is wasted time since they will send you a canned reply anyway.

    Use a friends, parents, whatever address and open a new account, don't use the domains you used so far and move on.

    i belive you might clicked your own ads and that could be one of the reasons why they disabled it , if you say you almost didn't have any Visits then i dont see any other explanation ! Or have you tryed some autohit Sites or anything like that ?

    Couse they disabled my acc when i did it and i have tryed to sent appeal to them 4 times so far in 5 month no result :/
    However good luck !

    I don't think that you clicked your own ads. People who have never been banned due to no fault of their own always say, "Then you must have clicked your own ads." Google's detection system is not perfect. In fact it's the opposite of perfect. It is seriously flawed. I lost an account for "invalid clicks" and I certainly did nothing to warrant termination. I got mine reinstated...

    Here's how:

    MAIL GOOGLE

    Do not email them. Send them a regular old-fashioned LETTER. Have the letter delivered by Certified Mail, Federal Express or UPS. That way the addressee must sign for it and you have a record that they received your appeal.

    BE PROFESSIONAL

    Do not let your emotions guide your writing. Provide all of the information that you have available. If you have server logs, include printouts or the files on disc.

    BE PERSISTENT

    This is your business and you should make sure that you treat your appeal just as you would a proposal for any client/vendor.

    WHERE TO SEND YOUR LETTER:

    Jeff Huber, VP
    c/o Google Inc.
    1600 Amphitheatre Parkway
    Mountain View CA 94043 US

    SET A DATE/CALL TO ACTION

    In your letter make sure that you include your mailing address and telephone number. Request that they review your material and ask for contact by postal mail or telephone by a certain date. I would say at least 14 days after delivery.

    REPEAT

    If you have not received communication by your set date, send them another letter explaining that you require an update on your appeal.

    The key here is to get your appeal out of the automated system. Like any large organization or government office, Google does not have a streamlined system for dealing with non-e-communication. Your goal is to get an appeal written by a human in the hands of another human. This is in my opinion the best way to approach the appeal process.

    If all of this fails and you still really want to get your account back I suggest that you request arbitration. In the TOS both you and Google agree to binding arbitration. Use it. You will be responsible for at least 50% of the cost for an arbitrator, but if your were making any money with Adsense it is worth the cost.

    I hope this helps.

    Use the report forms in Google Adsense help, they have always replied to them when I used them. They very seldom reply to any emails. Just make sure that you or someone else that you asked to did not click on your site. I was click bombed and I sent a report form and they replied in a few days and did not ban my account.

    Did you receive a large amount of clicks from the few visitors you had?

    I have not rip them or don't think there should be any problem with my account. I've set up with them for a little over 2 months and have not even made over 3 dollars in revenue.

    I'd forget about that acc if I were you. It's really not worth the effort to reinstate.
