Got this email from Adsense!

i got the same email a few days ago (12 april around 5am)

my site is tiny. i got 5 cliks on the 11th and 10 on the 10th and so i wont be losing too much.

anyway i put adlogger on a few days after and here's the strange thing (tell me if this is normal).

adlogger has logged 15 clicks. google has logged 4.

something wrong....?

anyway im looking for alternatives to google too, so if you find any good ones, tell me

 

This very thing happened to one of my customers. He was making a lot of money with a website in a small niche industry and his competition did not like it.

He even tried to get something done about it but no joy. He is still banned now from using Adsense after 1 year.

 

They say it's because of "Traffic Sharing activities", Is it because of topsite, that we have on our proxies ?

I've taken down my 4 newly made proxies for a week or two.

 

Just wondering if anyone who emailed Google in reply to their email about "invalid clicks" have received an email back yet. It has been over 2 days & no response from them. Should I send them another email or wait?

 

Did you get the payments on hold on your account?

 

Yes, they have been on hold since that time & still on hold. I also contacted them through the adsense account after emailing them too, as it said to when you log in.

 

Lost $6,321.69 but account is saved maybe its Adsense policy or maybe because i am old publisher.

But i have no idea why they deducted so much and what is its details and i have not seen any unusual activity in last months.

 

Ouch! At least your account was saved. How long did it take them for them to reply to your initial email in regards to their "invalid clicks" email?

 

They took less than 24 hours to reply.
Initially email was about "less value delivered to advertisers" then it turned to "invalid click activity".

Its not solution of the problem because they deducted money but left me without any information about
what happened?
when it happened?
who did it?
where it happened?

IMHO its wrong way to solve the issue.

 

Just got a reply from adsense as well, they fined me over $200 for supposidly invalid clicks and:

"In addition, because the amount of this deduction has exceeded your
available account balance, we've placed your account on payment hold
temporarily. Any outstanding earnings will roll over to the following
month, so you'll be paid out in accordance with our normal payment cycle."

I was looking forward to receiving my 1st ever cheque from adsense
