I have never used these kind of sites?

What if im gettign traffic from youtube? would this be detected as "fake" traffic as they are trying to make out?

 

Just a gentle reminder.

 

gentle but scary for the first timers ... (like me )

 

yeah well it wouldnt be nice if I was banned....
I make mid to high $XXX a month on adsense even though it sucks for payouts

so if I was banned I wouldn't be too happy....

 

Heres google's link that discusses Invalid Links
https://adwords.google.com/support/bin/topic.py?topic=35

The topic "What can I do to help monitor or prevent invalid clicks on my ad?" might help.

best of luck!

Don't worry, no big deal. What you need to do is check your site backlinks and see if some traffic generation scheme is sending you hits. Once identified eliminate the source. Evil laugh.

 

Well, I have seen people being shut off without any big reason, so be careful.

 

would you consider 5-7 clicks over a two week span too much?

 

You know whats weird...I got two of those letters in one day and I have less that 40 clicks in a one month span, total.

 

Be serious about their warning. Many people are not so lucky to get even this warning.

 

your right, I pulled adsense from two places my code was posted and I only have 3 adsense banner/tower ads on one site only and soon adsense on this forum. do you know if adsense completely shuts off your access to adsense if there is a problem or does adsense take a bite from your earnings?

 

i think it's a remender but i did no understand why they have wanted to remind these thinks to you.i'm a bit confused

 

count me one, I still don't know the reason.

 

i was in the same situation when i recieved the warning for no reason.
i sent them all my logs, webstats.

 

yes,i know.
