Account Disabled?

    Ok my account was disabled because I emailed them and told them I missed and clicked on an ad and sent all information on the ad within 2 minutes trying to be honest 4 days later my account was disabled.

    I just don't get google at all. I think I'll be better of not worrying about them but my account balance was at $980 already. Bull if you ask me but what can I do. Nothing, they don't contact you back or anything.

    In my opinion that is totally wrong. and I even tried to stop the page from loading. lol what's funny though is that google reminds me of some of these HYIP's I see and have joined. They pay alot of members and disable alot of members for no reason and then they KEEP the money.

    Sounds very fishy to me. You had $980 already.. You sent them an e-mail about one click they banned you.

    I am guessing you did more than 1 click, or knew how more than 1 click was generated. Then you sent them an e-mail in attempt to cover your-arse and see if you were okay.

    Clearly you were not. I have had many conversations with google about click issues, and I just have to call shennigans on your story. I don't disbelieve they banned you after you sent them an e-mail about a bad click. The reality is they appreciate being informed of such things and ALWAYS appreciate assistance when dealing with fraud issues. What they, apparently, don't like that much are people who are gaming the system trying to act innocent by pre-emptively mailing them.

    I just don't want people out there freaking out thinking they will get banned if they contact Google. That is certainly not the case. Especially if you have done nothing untoward.

    To change hats a bit, if you really are innocent, then I suggest you lay out your case accordingly. However, there could be any number of issues that caused you to get banned. None of which are your single accidental click. Something else got you banned. So in order to appeal it, you need to determine the reason why they banned you.


    Edit: By the way, I find some TOS issues on ever site in your sig except the Lost Directory. (I like the Lost Directory btw). But all your other sites focus on giving money away, one of them has references and links to gambling sites. I see google logos connected with ad placements and such. Which sites had google ads on them? Like I said, if you contacted them about a bad click and they found some other violation on your site they could have suspended/banned you for that. It does not necessarily mean it was because of clicks.

    Now this is BS. I have no reason to lie and non the less to post an untrue statement on these forums. I received an email about the click. 1 click I made and only 1 click. Don't accuse me of something that you have no insight on at all.

    I understand you love google but until YOU know the facts please keep your ideas to yourself.

    It clearly states in the email because of a click. So please don't try to make me out to be something I'm not.

    ;)

    Added: Giving money away is not again there TOS and Also I had permission to use the Google LOGO thanks again

    I told you before you risk getting banned because of your site and you didn't listen, guess they investigated your report and caught you:

    Maybe they didnt like the content of your sites - things like "adult poker" and " paid to read programs " violate TOS.

    The only real answer I've got all day.

    So why they said Invalid Clicks in the email and that's it

    All banned account emails are the canned invalid clicks email. I've warned you that you can't give incentives (paid to post) but you didn't listen, I think your ban was well deserved!

    They send a common mail to all accounts banned. I think what actually happened is when you sent the mail, they visited your sites and found them inappropriate for Adsense.

    Giving away money or even linking to such sites is against TOS

    Read this thread on Paid Surveys and Adsense - especially my post at #14

    Yea I have to agree with you AEIOUY, for one click out of 980.00 worth of revenue for the month, they are not going to ban you for that. They would simply respond to your email and tell you to try and be more careful in the future and thank you for your letting them know of this click.

    The fact is there was way more than 1 click that was done, as I dont see any company turning down 200-300 dollars a month in revenue from your account for a .02-$2.00 accidental click.

    Disabled = banned.

    My guess is either they misunderstood your question or you misunderstood their answer. Giving incentives to post is against the TOS. You had it coming.

    Not that you'd get back in but I'd lose that attitude before pleading your case with Google. LOL!

    Repost $98 not $980 as stated that was my mistake. and what's so hard about believing only 1 click if I'm going to lie I just wouldn't say nothing. I'm actually trying to understand this not have everyone say I'm lying.

    You guys are a trip. I only got 1 answer and the rest are basically saying told you so, liar, got what you deserved.

    Some of you really do need to grow up.

    well my fault I was thinking 980.00 so , scratch me from this conversation..lol... I was just stating their has to be something more than 1 click to get banned,,something google is not fully disclosing to you,,, but if other members have mentioned certain issues about your site, that could possibly be the real reason, and google just sent you the wrong automated email..lol

    If you can show me where is says that in TOS I'll pay you $50 right now no joke. I contact google and read TOS after you told me what you thought was against TOS and seen nothing and they said it was fine.

    As for the attitude it's not towards google. It's how some people take things that are said and misunderstand thing that aren't said. Read a few of your post in here. "You had it coming" lets be foreal. I didn't post this to hear that, I posted to understand how could my account get disabled for 1 invalid click not 2 or 1000 1 invalid click on DZ.
