Thank you Google. Really, thanks a lot. Amount due next payment was a smidge over $1000, and I'm banned. As soon as I start getting decent earnings? Banned. Invalid clicks. Screw you. I had proxies, adsense on the front page only. Been performing well for about 2 weeks. I just paid $200 for another month hosting I've sent an appeal, but I have no evidence, so I guess I'm out. Fucking adsense Before you ask, no, I didn't click my ads. How the fuck can I control what my users click?
Adlogger or something similar should help cut down the chances. You say performing well for about 2 weeks. How was the performance prior to that?
I no it sucks but maybe your better off. Try make sites for affiliate programs for each term you might make more in the long run.
yup google adsense is the system of providing no "additional information on invalid clicks" why does adsense kill an account when the end user has no control over how the visitors to his site behave ? Its the major issue facing any google adsense user. And google really needs to fix that. Cause anyone can get anyones google account banned.
Sorry to hear about your misfortune jackslounge. Unfortunately, the way AdSense works they tend to assume everyone is guilty. They also assume that their click fraud detection methods are fool proof, which they obviously aren't.
Yup, I got banned a while back for some bogus reason. There was a nice long thread about it here somewhere. Oh well, either way, I quickly moved on, cut my losses and found there are much much more effective ways to make money Lots more. Google adsense is chump change unless you are a major site.
Was this going to be your first check from them or.. when was your last check? How does this 1000.00 earnings compare to the last 12 months earnings. Did you suddenly have a massive amount of clicks? and if so, is there a reason to your knowledge of why you would have had so many in such a short time? Did you piss somebody off? Did you do a major facelift or improvement or promotion of your site. Sorry for what has happened to you . Sorry for so many questions, it's just heartbreaking! I need to know all I can for future knowledge.
I think this was caused by your competition. Did you pay to be on proxy.org? There's a lot of money to be made in this game but the big fish does not like the newcomers. Did you make sure that there is no google ads on your proxified pages? Competition can easily create a copy of your AdSense PUB-ID and visit that other page million times. Fake a click on it from each proxy, etc. Good luck!
