    Hmmm... I don't know how to put this without breaking TOS. Ummm... OK! If one was to have a CTR (Click Through Rate) of about 16%-33% is this suspicious? This person IS LEGIT. He/she would greatly appreciate it.

    What do you have to worry about if they are real clicks?

    Good point.

    Hmmm... does AdSense ban even if you clicked on your ad once in your whole life that might be why they banned my other account. Not admitting to it but just saying... They approved a check for $3,000 (I just started and it was like 3 days check) and now the checks ones getting is only like $60-120. Meso is down the drain. Any other good words?

    Sorry for my grammer above I don't want to edit it, leave it be. What I am asking is:

    1. Does clicking on ads really get your account banned?

    2. My check was approved then 3 days later I am banned, should I expect a check?

    3. Is meso's pay less just for me?

    4. Any new better key words?

    Please answer my questions, and thanks for taking the time to read this.

    Nice.... this guy just seems like QLL reincarnated. I guess every forum has them. Entertaining, but such a waste of time.

    Your CTR starts becoming suspicious as soon as you ask what CTR you can have before Google will become suspicious.

    haha, no kidding. Law, you should come back on and ask "how many times can I click my own ad before I get banned".... sheesh.

    Not too bright. A forum such as this is visited regularily by G employees I am sure, so why these guys keep on exposing themselves is beyond me. In the long run though, all of us non-abusers will benefit from their demise.

    Dude, *I* could beat you in a court on behalf of Google. Your logic seems to be from another universe.

    Your first account was disabled because you clicked your own ads.

    As far as I can tell, your second account was disabled for what could be a couple different reasons... From their TOS: "No Google ad may be placed on pages published specifically for the purpose of showing ads, whether or not the page content is relevant." Which you clearly violated. Also from their terms: "Publishers are not permitted to maintain multiple AdSense accounts."

    So just based on what you have already publicly disclosed, you have violated Google's AdSense terms at least 3 different ways.

    Yea, if you guys want to help him just respond as kindly as possible, he is trying to pull your chains.

    Just give him an honest answer like Shawn is and leave it at that.

    Yes he can be an arse, but he is a young kid.

    Until Shawn Bans him we will have to put up with the kid, but we do not all have to attack him.

    If you do not want to answer his questions or reason with him do not post.

    Like I said I don't mind being banned from here, and I am 100% sure he wouldn't ban me after all he gets money from these ads he ataches in these posts incase you haven't noticed, he can hate me all he wants, but he's getting money off of me, and he wouldn't change a thing in these posts if he knew what was right for him, now I got a spanish test to study for.

    Peace.

    Don't worry little buddy, your day is coming if you keep making silly posts :)

    Why would he change your posts John, he would just ban you and delete the dammed threads.

    It would not be the first time that it happened.

    If you think the forum needs your threads to "make money" you better think again.

    Digital Point makes money selling software, not running forums.

    If you keep insulting Shawn, I am sure that he will get pissed off and you will be history in short order.

    I don't hate you, I just think you are foolish about many things (including me making any money off you). I don't ban someone just for being naive. But as I said in the other thread, if you *want* to be banned, it can be done at your request.

    Also, I like how you dodge the real issue. :) (My previous post in this thread)
