This happened to a friend of mine, too. He didn't click any of his advertisements, either. Google jumps to conclusions really quick and never gives you a chance to appeal, IMO.
Good job catching him on this! And he wonders why Google banned him?. Ha ha thats too funny So in this instance Google was right. Can we say the same about all those proxy sites that have been getting banned for quite sometime now? I sure hope so !
Haha, I was so glad to see the post you made telling everyone to click your ads. It's good to know the reason you were banned, thanks for the poster who did that. It seems like there always is a reason why people get banned when you get to the bottom of the story.
Thats a good analogy, people don't understand when they click those links, that there are hard working people that have to pay the money. Maybe they do and just don't care, but your right it is outright stealing. I know if I am sitting with my wife and were updating the blog or something, and I see her mouse near an ad, I'm like "no get away, don't even go near that thing...if you click that were screwed, we wont have any money for diapers, we will lose the house, the yacht, the 79 pinto, just stay away from those ads" and she will be like 'I KNOW!!! you tell me every time, I wasn't going near it, my mouse was just drifting..." My 16 year old doesnt even look at them I taught them both, just to type it in another browser tab if you see something you like (advice from another dp'er)
I have the same problem. I go to my site and see something that Interest me and then I have to search for the company to be able to go to there site.

man I hate PDF files - I work with them all day at my 9-5 job, and I can not think of a worse format to use on the web.
I read that someone in DP loss $6,000 to adsense.. $80? Take it as a lesson..better learn early that adsense is not the place to put all your eggs in.
Learn to write appeal letter, you guys, when you're banned. I got banned and got reinstated a few days later because I communicated the no-nonsense message in the appeal letter. Never ever threaten Google team in the appeal letter. Never ever blame Google team in the appeal email. Man i hate rewriting all these stuff, search my thread "How I got my adsense account reinstated."
Tough breaks. Sometimes I wonder what Google is doing. Do real people view the sites, or just robots?
LOL this thread is hilarious First the guy shouts at G then at the person who is trying to catch him. After seeing the clicks thread on your forum it is obvious that G would have banned you. So just forget it and move on to other alternatives. I think writing a reinstatement letter will also not solve this one out. Maybe G also has data for the reasons why the particular person was banned in past. So chances are very thin.
