    I would imagine they look for multiple clicks from the same IP range, or a pattern of clicks on multiple sites from the same IP addresses (a possible click exchange). Also, an usual number of clicks in a given period of time might trigger a red flag. If you had 90 clicks yesterday and 85 of them came between 4:04pm and 4:09pm, Google is probably going to notice.

    If you have incredibly low conversion rates for your click throughs.

    This can indicate lots of people are clicking with no intent to buy.

    Hope this helps :)

    They have alot of information including the IPs you use to log into your Adsense account and maybe even your other Google accounts.

    But I don't really know the answer, there seems to be good Adsense alternatives springing up nowadays though like the improving ADbrite and the new Widgetbucks so all is not lost.

    Google will find out from which ip clicks had came from. If google found more than 5 - 6 clicks from same ip at the same time then google will ban you.

    Absolutely NOT. Please check your facts before posting. I've gotten multiple clicks from the same IP MANY times and no problems.

    Did you participate in any surfing programs? Stuff like HYIP? You get banned for that.

    High Yield Internet Program (or what I call Hype) Usually (not always) some ponzi/pyramid type program.

    I got my adsense account closed about 4 years ago for the same reason and was 100% certain I'd done nothing wrong. I met somebody online a few months ago and he asked me if I was banned just before my first payout. I was.

    This person explained to me that Google has a reputation for clearing out low-yielding account around the time of the first payment and that it's an automated process. He suggested contacting Google demanding an explanation and suggested that every reply would be automated until eventually the account would be reinstated.

    This may be completely wrong but his explanation makes sense to me.

    Good luck,

    Martin

    If you are ever planning to sign up again with different credentials, I ggest you use OpenAds ads manager. It would pinpoint about IPs and who is clicking what. Lots of automated systems seem to be in place too.
