Google Account Disabled Do They Ever Get Reinstated?

    I discovered this morning that my Adsense account has been disabled overnight with the explanation that mentions invalid clicks. Now I have filled in the form from Google and submitted it. And as I have several websites I have downloaded all of the sites log files for each site and asked Google to let me know which site received the invalid clicks and I will send them the log files.

    I know the clicks have nothing to do with me as this as happened during my night time when I was asleep, I’m UK based and sites are hosted on Hostgator.

    What I would like to know is in your opinions is whether there is any likelihood that my account will be reinstated or is that it? :(

    I personally have not done anything underhand and my sites were built with Googles terms in mind, no black-hat stuff, totally legit and with only two Adsense ads on the home page of each site.

    Then its probably something you aren't aware of in the TOS that got you banned.

    That is really an important issue that concerns me right at the beginning, I myself have too many competitors out there so what if some-one that does not like me and come to my site to generate invalid clicks, what can I do? what is my fault ? why my account should be banned ?!!!!!!!

    You probably got click bombed, the chance of you being reinstated is low, once google decided something that's usually it, there's nothing you can do. They aren't very reasonable to deal with in matters like this.

    that sucks dude..
    As some oh you said .. if someone want to ban your earnings from google it will go on your page and one day long will click on your banners just to do that.
    I think this is the only bad thing at google ads..

    There was nothing bad about the sites, simple 6 page site, home page with original article/s amazon widget and 2xAdsense Ads, about us, contact, disclaimer, privacy and sitemap pages.

    Is it better to give Yahoo ads a try?

    I've read blog posts/threads where people have mentioned that they managed to get reinstated. But, this happens very rarely. Don't count much on this, look for alternatives.

    So is it better to stick with just Amazon and Ebay then or what do you suggest?

    Could I just flip my sites and think sod-it?
