    Hello, for some reason google e-mailed me saying that my account has been disabled due to invalid clicks. This is a real shock to me, considering I have no idea how this happened. Well anyways, for some reason I can still place google ads on my site and I'm still earning from my clicks. My account is still open which I can log on, check stats, etc. What does this mean? If they say your account has been disabled, does your account usually stay open? Has anyone here had the same thing happen?

    I remember once about a year ago someone got an email that said they were banned, but it was intended for someone else.. Could also be a cruel-hoax.. did you check the headers to see if it's really from the Big G ?

    I think it would show up in your account also. Not sure but i imagine they would stop showing ads on your site.

    If you were banned you wouldn't be able to log in...
    Hopefully it was a mistake or some bad joke email...

    I agree, you wouldn't be able to log in...
    However, if you really got banned, and therefore, have useless site now, I buy them...:D

    Maybe change your login password just in case it was some sort of scam.
