Chances of my being reinstated after being disabled for invalid click activity?

    I have many sites, i buy/sell and keep ones too. I use Adsense to monetize my account.

    I sold a site i had and the new owner said he would redo the site so he didnt modified it.

    As he didnt modified the site, one of the banners was left there. One day the ad got 115 clicks in one day, having only 43 page impressions.

    Of course this was unusual so i contacted Adsense explaining everything and telling them It wasnt an invalid click or click fraud and that i couldnt explain what happened.

    A week later my account was disabled because of unusual click activity.

    I completed the form to get my account reinstated and telling them that the first thing i did when i saw the 115 clicks in my account was to email them as i had nothing to do with fraud or cheating.

    What are the chances of having my account reinstated?

    1- 100%, it will happen
    2- Could happen
    3- It will be hard
    4- NO CHANCES AT ALL

    Also, how long does it take to get a reply, if you get one?

    Thanks a lot for the help,

    It's possible that your account will be reinstated, if they believe your explanation. I assume you gave them the new WhoIs information showing new ownership, and updated your "allowed sites" list so that that site was not included.

    It is possible to reinstate your account......give atleast three tries till you finally give up...
    fight your case with google like a pro....give all the stats which you can provide.... hope for the best...prepared for the worst.

    Thanks both for the help. I told them the truth, as i sell most of my site when they are starting up, i dont get that many impressions as i sell them when they are new. So, when i saw more than 110 clicks in less than one day, the first thing i did was to contact Google Adsense Team telling them something was wrong.

    Anyway, how long does it take to get a reply from Google telling you if they reinstated your account or not?

    Thanks, fuser
