Hello people.. I get my account terminated today and I am not so happy because I lost $1600, revenue earned on a month. So I decided to write them at invalid click appeal link. My account was terminated because of the most commonly reason : Invalid clicks. I really do not understand why they said invalid clicks because I have installed an adsense tracker and in a period of on month just ONE IP clicked my advertise 8 times, followed by another 3 IPs with 6 clicks, 5 clicks from another 12 IPs and this in a month not in a day. I worte to them : "Dear Sir, I think my account was suspend because my server was down for about 3 days and I couldn't run adsense code. Please allow me to explain the reason and have the account reactivated. I moved my server from aplus.net to godaddy.com because huge amount of traffic and because I used 400% of aplus.net sql conqueries. I imagine that my account will be suspened. I wanted to write to you this that I am gona move my hosting company but I thought it is not necesary and I am hoping my account will be re-activated after human review.I can also provide our raw logs to back up all of this and would be more than happy to do so. I assure you I would never click my own ad. I don’t feel I have done anything to break the rules of your TOS and would like to offer any help I can in terms of web logs or any other information. You can let me know what I can do through email or supply a phone number and I will be more than happy to speak to a representative. Please let me know If I can provide you a list of the suspected IPs. Thank you" What do you thing guys they will re-activate my account ? Thanks
sorry gavish, i hope you can can get your account back. since you got the stats and all that, i am pretty confident you will get it back. good luck
do u think that reporting invalid clicks will turn the GOOGLE EYE to your account so they pay more attention to you?
Living without adsense would be like online death to me... You will have to wait for a response from them...sorry to hear that dude
That's really sad. What is your site about? (could you send me private message with link please?) good luck! Emir
Hi, How old was your account? was there any hold? how long is it since you entered your pin? did you receive any payment before? Goodluck
You sure the AdSense tracker did not mess with your AdSense code? The tracker code should not mess with AdSense code directly or indirectly. I have this feeling that these trackers are not safe....I may be wrong.
oh shit, sorry to hear that dude. I hope that you get back your account. Let us all know if that happens.
I am a little confused. In the opening of your post you talk about invalid clicks, but in your letter to Google you choose to completely ignore that issue and only cry foul because you weren't online for 3 days ...
NO NO NO they didn't warn me or something. I have my account for about one year and now I am banned with no response from them. I do not know If I will get my account re-activated but I hope because I do not done anything wroge. I just DO NOT UNDERSTAND why are they doing something like this to us... and something else I do not understand : I removed adsense code from my website 3 days. So 3 days the adsense didn't run on my pages and the just banned me for invalid clicks. Thats a crap !!! Thanks for helping me guys
My account was terminated recently too, because of "invalid clicks" that had nothing to do with me. I haven't lost as much as you but I feel your pain.. it really sucks knowing you did nothing wrong, and wanting to do something about it but Google just don't seem prepared to listen. Yet another honest publisher let down by Google and AdSense
