    May be you clicked on your own ads or used copyright content or anything like that.
    Or didn't follow TOS of Adsense.

    Well, I've usually witnessed many people click their own ads. That's the most popular reason why people are banned from using Adsense.

    :)

    That's what everyone claims, but I would never click on my ads. I'm just wondering if anyone has made different mistakes.

    I've personally clicked on my ads twice in my editor by mistake (public service ads). I don't think this violates Googles TOS though.

    Also reported click fraud once. I want to know everything I can, so if I do get banned I'll be very surprised.

    I've heard people got banned for running other PPC ads that look similar to Adsense ads

    There can be many reasons for getting banned by AdSense. Major reason is clicking on your own ad which is tracked by lot of clicks from one IP.
    Putting other PPC ads on same page with AdSense.

    I've read like every adsense article on there website. I researched it heavily for 3 months before thinking about signing up. Then I started asking questions on the adsense forum for roughly a month before applying.

    I want it to be a 99% chance that I won't be banned.

    My friend admitted to me that he clicked his own ads.

    I think it made it worse that he didnt even have much traffic/clicks.

    I never click my own ads, but I imagine if I did by accident one day, it might not be so bad because I have 1000s of clicks... Whereas for him, it would not be worth Adsense employees time to look over his case, as he generates no income for them...

    Have you seen the info on privacy policies? They are very much required now.

    I went onto the adsense forums after implementing it onto my website. They said my website agreed with the TOS, but only one problem. No privacy policy. I added that right away after I found out.

    I've just post a sample privacy policy on the forum last night just search my other posts to find it. It's then a simple cut n paste job.
    With regards to click fraud their are forums out there who's sole purpose is to get it's users clicking on each others ads...The idiots were even running adsense on that forum - not for long I think!

    Many reasons for getting banned:
    1. Clicking own ads whether via someone or outsourced team
    2. Buying artificial traffic that encourages fake clicks
    3. Cloaking,hiding ads so that visitors will click them unknowingly
    4. Your competitor or someone you angered for some reason who will click bomb your site.
