    ah wtf =[

    Hello __,

    It has come to our attention that invalid clicks have been generated on
    the Google ads on your site(s). We have therefore disabled your Google
    AdSense account. Please understand that this step was taken in an
    effort to protect the interest of the AdWords advertisers.

    A publisher's site may not have invalid clicks on any ad(s), including
    but not limited to clicks generated by:

    - a publisher on his own web pages
    - a publisher encouraging others to click on his ads
    - automated clicking programs or any other deceptive software
    - a publisher altering any portion of the ad code or changing the
    layout, behavior, targeting, or delivery of ads for any reason

    Practices such as these are in violation of the Google AdSense Terms
    and Conditions and program polices, which can be viewed at:

    https://www.google.com/adsense/localized-terms?hl=en_US
    https://www.google.com/adsense/policies?hl=en_US

    Publishers disabled for invalid click activity are not allowed further
    participation in AdSense and do not receive any further payment. The
    earnings on your account will be properly returned to the affected
    advertisers.

    Sincerely,

    The Google AdSense Team




    i recieved a warning last week, i took down my ads straight afterwards..i don't get how there could of been MORE "invalid clicks"??:confused:

    Just send an apologetic (not whining) email to them saying you'll look after your account better in future.

    Appeal it and explain it (come on, did you really click on those ads?) or ask them to investigate.

    If you're lucky, you may get another chance.

    Perhaps your cache was never updated and the ads were still visible.

    Could be wrong though.

    In the meantime, you may want to try applying to the Yahoo Publisher Network.

    Did they ever tell you which site got you banned in the first place? I would suggest not putting your ads back on the Myspace site, because chances are that's the culprit.
