There are many ideas and conclusions why so much banning is taking place. And I am thinking of a reason which I need everyone who got banned to, kindly, help verify or deny. So, to everyone who got banned, did you write a thread here about how you managed to achieve good earnings? And if so, when? Thanks.
Luckily I didn't get banned but I got a warning about creating invalid page impressions. I had signed up with a paid to surf site and I thought that if I put my web banner on the site it would be classed simply as advertising and it would generate more traffic to my site. Of course I shouldn't have done this as people were being paid to click the banner. I left the site immediately and apologised to the Google team.
Trishia, lucky you if you would get banned it would be probably for lifetime, and Google takes no appologizes.
Not everytime but they do give warnings to some people, I got one for having images beside the ads but it was more of a cryptic email than a warning.
I was warned once but they never told me where/how did the invalid clicks come from. All my stats were pretty same and I had made only one change which was adding of a clicks logger system...I quickly removed that & still have the account with me
