    Hello
    I recently recieved en email from adsense regarding invalid activity on my account
    although I never did any kind of fouls or invalid click or purchase any clicking program
    What to do?

    The email is as under:


    Hello,

    We recently detected a significant level of invalid activity on your
    AdSense ads. Specifically, we found that users of third-party programs may
    have been paid or provided with other incentives to visit your site or
    click on your ads. Such programs may include, but are not limited to:
    auto-surf, pay-to-surf, pay-to-read, and pay-to-click sites. Please note
    that any method that artificially generates clicks or impressions on
    Google ads is strictly prohibited by our program policies, as such
    activity may inflate an advertiser's costs or a publisher's earnings.

    We understand that you may want more information about the activity we
    detected. However, because we have a need to protect our proprietary
    detection systems, we're unable to provide our publishers with any details
    about their account activity, including any webpages, users, or
    third-party services that may have been involved.

    If you need help logging the traffic on your site to determine the source
    of your visitors, we recommend trying Google Analytics:
    http://www.google.com/support/googleanalytics. You can learn how to
    integrate your AdSense account with Analytics at
    http://www.google.com/adsense/support/bin/topic.py?topic=15007.

    Your account is still active, but please keep in mind that if we continue
    to detect significant invalid activity on your AdSense ads, we may take
    further action on your account to protect our advertisers from inflated
    costs. This may include disabling your account.

    Please also note that because we credit advertisers for any unfiltered
    invalid activity we detect, we may also deduct such invalid revenue from
    your earnings.

    Lastly, we recommend that you read through the resources below to learn
    more about invalid activity, program policy violations, and other
    activities that may adversely affect your account standing. We encourage
    you to be proactive in ensuring that your site and ad traffic are
    compliant with our policies and Terms and Conditions.

    Please Advise

    Try to add your site at "Allowed Sites" at "Adsense Setup" tap to prevent anyone from using your code

    You may have been hacked. Those people just don't have a life and are jealous that you are doing something with yours. All the best.

    You probably clicked your own ads in your page most of the time. This would trigger the adsense system that someone (probably the same IP) clicking on it.

    Best thing to do is install Google Analytics on your site. That lets Google see exactly where the traffic is coming from. Also use the whitelist option in Adsense.
