Google doesn't ban an account for 80 clicks from the same ip, their algorithm just stop counting them, imagine how easy it would be to get a competitors account banned if that were true On the other hand how come you can click 80 times with only 4 page views?
few years ago when i had first adsense website, i got few visitors, i was making 1$/day from adsense. 3 times i experienced "click bombs", one day i had 40% CTR, 120 clicks or something like that, next day i reported it to google. They thanked me for informed them, and told me that if they find out that invalid clicks was generated, they will deduct the money from my account. They never done this, but my website was clean. Probably you had other problem, they can't ban you just for a click bomb, assuming that the other website is generating a lot of valid clicks. Now i get many clicks too, i can't figure out when someone click bombs me. If i was click bombed when i had 100 visitors/day, why they don't click bomb now when my site is ranking high and getting huge traffic ? Probably they do, but google can't track this when my website generating lots of good clicks. When i had few clicks, and observed that click bomb, they paid very very low. Probably they pay only for the first 2-3 clicks from the same ip, it is not hard to do something automated to prevent click bomb.
I don't agree. 4 page impression and 80 clicks would automatically set off red flags. I could be wrong but a site with 10 visitors a month and zero clicks for a year. Then 80 clicks and 4 impressions wouldnt sit right with me either.
you should switch to yahoo when this kindof altercation happens. I know the feeling man, but atleast if you switch for the time being your making money.
It happens all the time that someone sabotages your adsense account with clicking and clicking on your Google Ads. I hope that never happens to any adsense publishers.
I believe theres more to it than the 80clicks because they would usually warn you about that? Man you should have deleted the non viewed site off your allowed sites, i hope all turns out well for you.
I read lot's of issue with regards to this matter. But, until now i haven't heard that they retain their account after termination. Just try to find alternatives.
Forget about Adsense. Since they're monopoly, they will do whatever pleases them. I suggest you try adsense alternatives.
Nowadays there are a lot of adsense alternatives, bidvertiser, adbrite, kontera, adtoll, adbrite, widgetbucks, and many others, i can't remember them because i use only adsense. You will say that those ad networks are paying low, and it is not worth to use them. First of all, they are paying low because they are accepting websites with semi-nudity, ads near images, with hidden code, with automated scripts, websites encouraging clicks, and all many other things that google don't accept to protect their advertisers. Advertisers knows the value of a click brought from google because they know that google protects very well their interests. Secondly, you have better paying options than adsense, join some affiliate networks and you will get more money than you getting from adsense. If you get $1000 from adsense every week, this means 5-10 000 clicks every day on ads, think what will happen if you have 5 000 clicks on affiliate links. You will get more more money. But i know why you can't do this, because with affiliate links you can't encourage users to click, you can't hide ads, you can't use automated scripts, you can't make users to buy accidentally, or you have very low traffic coming from pop-ups, pop-unders, paid to read, etc. Why do you think it is worth for google to keep you when you know that your clicks generated are very very low quality, and they are doing nothing for advertisers. If you are not in this situation, put affiliate links on your website and trust me you will get more money than you are getting from adsense.
My freind acc is also banned becoze of one mad clicker but he told me that he given a ip from which mad clicker given a click & google reinstated its acc but i don't know he is bluffing or not but if there is slim chance to reinstated ur acc then must try it becoz 2500 is not a less amount.
sellerscentral, to answer your question I have read about at least a person that has been reinstalled here on the DP forums. Good luck!
