Banned by AdBrite?

    Has anyone been banned by AdBrite?

    Apparently I've been banned for "invalid clicks / impressions" which makes absolutely no sense to me whatsoever..

    Anyone have similar experiences with AdBrite? They are asking to provide server IP logs with timestamp of my traffic (which btw I have no idea how to access), and then valid photo ID, etc....if they want me to be considered for reinstatement. This sounds very fishy to me..

    Any help / insight is welcome, Thanks!

    ...ALSO, can I expect to be paid the balance on my account (considering they hold payments back for 3 months)? They said they will "not pay earnings generated form the invalid clicks/impressions".. which again I don't know how to relate to.. Thanks again.

    AdBrite sux! They are no good! I have used them in the past and tried them again recently. Do not worry, go and look for something else.

    Good luck.

    Yeah, i wouldn't be too pissed. I haven't had any luck with them at all. The ads they place on your site aren't really relative at all. So generally, they don't convert well at all either.

    adbrite is good for high traffic sites, just look at their site directory. I have been banned too.

    They are having problem with cash flow, so they will try to ban many people which earn alot(500 to 5000$/month) and their traffic was not from US/CANADA/English speaking country.

    This happened to me too.

    This is a surprise to me, I thought that AdBrite doesnt usually ban people. Seems that I was mistaken.

    No. I suppose adbrite using adsense policy, once you are banned your money are forfeited or something like that.
