    I just noticed when I refreshed my account, I saw a $2 click taken away, just in 2 minutes... How can this happen? I was elated as I rarely saw a $2 click, and then duh, GONE... Can I ask Google?

    Don't waste your time. Google removes clicks they deem invalid and don't charge the advertiser. They will not comment on the exact reason why.

    How can that happen? Is that automatic? Or judged by person? I just assumed it happened to everyone? Sad....

    It means they deemed it invalid. It happens when owners click their own ads, or it comes from other bad traffic. If you are not clicking your ads, or participating in some click trading, then it doesn't happen very often. They can deduct clicks weeks after they were made, but it is usually done sooner.

    yeah seems they have certain restriction sets,
    First the amount of time you spend on page be4 you click on an add...+the amount of time you spend on the ad page.....if the person that clicked the ad closes the page or goes back to your site immediately.. chances are good that you'll get zit. So yup it all depends on your average site surfer...and on the average subject of you site which relates directly to the mood/set of mind which relates directly to the chance of someone clicking an add........

    Just like in stores on Christmas you gotta play the "kitchy" music to get good clicks....
