    If you haven't advertised your site and you got 8000 impressions and 6 clicks, one must ask if you have been clicking on your own ads.

    No, ive told like 12 people, just to see what they think. So I guess they have clicked on some ads.

    The site is something new, and targets a certain group, so the 12 I told were excited about it, I guess they told thier friends and all or something. But I dont understand what impressions are.

    It means you have a very low CTR

    The first rule of adsense club:

    You do not talk about adsense club.

    The second rule of adsense club:

    You do not talk about adsense club.

    You may or may not have already ended your adsense career. I suggest you contact the "12" overly-excited friends and tell them that they CAN NOT ever click on ANY ads on your site.

    Then I would stop telling friends and people you know about your site.

    If you got 8000 impressions and only 6 clicks, you dont have to worry about google taking away your adsense, unless YOU did the clicks. 8000 impressions is a whole lot, what is the website address?

    wait, what did I do wrong? I didnt click my own site, you see the group im targeting, word spreads fast and I knew that. So I guess word has spread just form those 12 I have told, the only other advertising I did was in the yahoo chat rooms one day, guess that could have helped a little. What do you mean I will get a email from google? I didnt even do anything wrong I dont think, I just told some people about it and never told them to click.

    Friends like to help friends by clicking ads, but that is bad and you can get suspended by your friends clicking. 6 clicks from 8,000 impressions is nothing to worry about.

    An impression is everytime the ad loads, so your adsense ad was loaded 8,000 times.

    No, it means 8,000 pages were loaded, if each person viewed 10 pages(impressions) then that would be 800 visitors.

    None of this is probably good for you.

    If you have a handful of IPs with 8000 impressions and all the clicks, I am guessing that might trip some of the fraud detection checks.

    Like I said, don't tell your friends about your site. Finish your site, and then get word out about it.

    What is done is done.. Just finish your site and publicize it among the general public not your friends.

    I got to be honest, I am scared to even ask the topic of your site.. because I have my suspicions.
