First...I never ever clicked my own ads, I am tottally understand, If I clicked my own ads, I will be banned. But today I've got email from google that I have invalid clicked?? and I never clicked my own ads: Heres the Email : "It has come to our attention that invalid clicks or impressions have been generated on your Google ads, posing a financial risk to our AdWords advertisers.

How do I know I have invalid clicked? I want to track it down the problem.. Advise please
don;t worry, its just a warning. google will not give you any more info but you need to monitor your server log to see if you can track anything. you do not need to reply but you can if you wish. you can say like you will take a closer look at your analytics/stats to see if you can detect where the invalid clicks are coming from and take preventive measure.
Email them and ask them. If they warned you, you should know about what is on your websites and where you publicize them.
May Be SOme Of yr WEbsite vistor have clicked on yr ads too many Times with same Ip.... Too many Click with so less Page Impression = Invalid Clicks.
I have no idea is al about...This is sound crazy but i just ask u if got any friends which anger with u and he know your sites very well..Hehehe
Here's when your logs will really save your bacon. Refer to your logs and see if there's any repeat IP addresses. For example, xx.xx.xx.xx visited your website 100 times in the last 30 minutes,...or something like that. Once you single out the IP address, check the country which the IP is coming from. BAN the IP, and possibly also the Country from your site if you can...depending on which country it is. E.g. you can ban the country if the suspicious traffic is from non-english speaking country. Then email Google what you have done, and keep monitoring your Adsense stats. Always stay vigilant, especially if you've received an email like that. Hope that helps
This is just a warning, try to find if some body close to you might try to play, increase traffic to get hits from around the world.
where's your traffic coming from? serp's? or do you buy traffic? once i had an alert just like that, and at the time i was buying traffic from adwords.
This is my personal opinion See google will play with us ....no one can argue with google... Even i recd the message as it is...For first time i sent return mail Saying that I am sorry for that and i asked can u provide me source of invalid clicks they said no... After some months my site has huge traffic and i am getting good returns through referrals i never place content ads .... Few days back i recd msg from google saying that disable of a/c in msg it says ur a/c Banned due to invalid clicks ... I think invalid clicks will arise thru content ads am i right??? I know this people will like that ...
