But he also promoted the site in the same area. So most of the clicks was from the same area. Not many clickers from outside. Thats look very bad i Adsense book.
You can get unbanned if you act fast. Open a complaint with them and explain in your initial email that you promoted it to associates in an enterprise environment. Google can look at the unique session cookies generated by their Adsense code to verify unique visitors if you can persuade them to do so.
I was banned via clickbombing (i have a web site on Nigerian scams - www.thebestscams.com and they didn't like this, they even told me they were going to do it). I proved this all to google yet my account review was still rejected.
Sorry to be banned and the lesson is not to promote at the close vicinity of existing and do the same over the net through link building etc.
i did appeal, but to be honest how would they distinguish between real and fake clicks. i do understand their thinking, if in doubt, take it as fraud. it's the sad truth but i think that''s how large cooperates act nowadays. ait was several months between me clicking my own ads the genuine ads on networked pcs, but that have have blacklisted me before, so my account was flagged as suspicious. it would be good if their system could automatically void suspicious ads then we could all be happy!
you better using adsense tracker, like asrep, etc for protecting your adsense, it will hide adsense after 5 clicks, etc
