Every now and then we see in this forum peopke getting banned by google without warnings . I too have received warning for invalid clicks . But i did nothing Lets see how many along with me have survived after warnings ? Post your experiences
I survived after ban. They disabled my account for invalid clicks (I clicked on my ads maaanny times). I just wanted to see how adsense reacts. They disabled my account the second day. After a bunch of emails and promises that it will never happen again, they allowed me to login. Curiously, the amount earned from invalid clicks was still there. PS: that was 2 years ago, when I started using adsense. Since then it never happened again.
I am with adsense for seven years now. Here and there I clicked accidently on my own ads, or a customer did it while I was explaining somesthing on his or my site. Those clicks had not been paid of course, but I never got even a warning about it - they "know" that these things happen ... On the other hand about a year ago, I got a mail about suspicious traffic source, after reviewing their guidlines I stopped using the service. I am still a satisfied adsense publisher.
Got a warning almost two weeks from opening my account because I used surf traffic , didn't know it wasn't permitted , anyway I stopped it and things went fine ..
I ve got away with two warnings First was about this "While reviewing your account, we noticed that you are currently displaying Google ads in a manner that is not compliant with our policies. For instance, we found violations of AdSense policies on pages such as XXXXX.XXX. Publishers may not implement Google ads in a manner that disguises the ads in any way, for instance, by formatting neighboring content to look similar to the ads...." Second was for traffic comming from unaprooved sources or kinda like that. The reason was that i subscribed to a site where you can view someone's webpage for 30 seconds etc etc... I wrote back saying "i won't do that again" and so we were friends again
I just received my first warning today!! It said something about invalid clicks/impressions. I wrote back asking if there was anything I could do to stop this and that I have no idea what its from. Haven't heard a response yet....im scared
