I got two of these messages on one day but I don't know who is doing it. Is that fair because I don't know what I can do to fix it. The message is below: It has come to our attention that invalid clicks or impressions have been generated on the Google ads on your site(s) through users of third-party programs paid or provided with other incentives to visit your site.

The weird thing is that I don't have any clicks for the month on may and I started in april, grand total clicks: 37. Do you thing I'm not being credited for clicks?
If you using php hosting and have cpanel. You check your origin of traffic. From there you can see whether anybody or you yourself had included your website in auto-surf, pay-to-surf, pay-to-read, or pay-to-click sites.
have you tried adlogger or a similar program ? i hope it will help you to protect your adsense account
I got my adsense out of a couple of low traffic sites, for starters, so that is cleared. I going to try adlogger, thanks guys.
I think I figured it out. I've be fixing and adding things to my blog and usually click the preview button to see how the changes are coming...which is generating page impressions. I just need to remove adsense when i'm editing or not preview my changes so frequently.
That's not true. You can have impressions from your IP, that is not a problem! It would be hell to have to take Adsense off every time you want to edit your website. Check your server log for referrals and see where traffic is coming from. If everything looks fine, you should probably install Adlogger to protect against click bombs, fraud clicks, etc.
After checking the numbers and I think you have a point Fka200. There were too many impression compared to the preview views after editing from me. Adlogger is the way to go.
