Some days ago, I find my adsense account have some invalid click. there are 5 days have invalid click, which the oldest is over 15 days. Then i report to GG what my Stats is, can tell them why this would happen. then the next day, GG drop me a mail. Can you guess what? they terminate my account for risky for their adword costumer. I am not a fraud, and work with the account over 2 years. and have earned me over 10k revenue. they just terminate my account for some invalid click just that 5 days. will you report GG when you find there would be some invalid click in you account? If you do just as i did. God bless you!
That sends the wrong message but we don't know the whole story. It pays to make sure you have other streams available that way something like this will not hurt!
I doubt that they will reverse their decision. Try using AdEngage or AdBrite. They let you set your own prices for your ad space.
That is messed up man, google really needs to stop doing this, they are so big they think they can just terminate people's accounts not even thinking what kind of damage this might do to the publisher, especially one that has been around with them for 2+ years. That is just wrong. Now they are trying to act like the US government.
yeah thats right i just that did that before. i reported invalid clicks at 1 of my website and let them know that im not doing and they emailed me back with a warning that they will terminate my account if i dont remove the ads on that specific site.. But luckily it just a warning for me...
I just sometimes worry about google because its so hard to actually find a real person to talk to, when you actually need it. It seems like all you get is endless automated help pages. They really need an 800 number or something, easily accessible
They may have not thought of you as the fraud, but they were probably trying to protect their advertisers. Yup, indeed it was cruel.
You are trying to be helpful and they ban you for that? I certainly feel it isn't fair, do a appeal and see what they say. I still feel that there is justice left in the world.
I never understand people who report themselves to Google. First, how do you know what is an invalid click unless you did it yourself? Second, why would you draw Google's attention to your site as suspect for invalid clicks? Third, why, after advising Google yourself about concerns with your site, are you surprised that they act on that information and ban that site or your account? I would never report my own account. How would I have any idea what is a valid or invalid click? And why would I think that I can better tell than Google?
