I had reached the payment threshold and Google gave me this VIP treat...the account was closed and the reason was 'invalid click activity' My key site http://goldmannews.com is very popular for news etc and i had placed my ads properly I dont click on ads I dont have click programs neither ever heard of it... what is this? what caused it? Any ideas? Share please
what was your clicks and impression ? anyways you are one of victim of such treat You can't do anything now but look for another PPC.
There's your problem right there. It is nothing of the sort. Your Alexa rank is 1,835,969 - this is not "leading". Your Google Page Rank is 0 - this is not "leading". You are a "wishful thinker", by making such a bogus claim. You can't BS a BS'er. Remember that this forum consists of WEBMASTERS. . .
I'm sitting on the fence on this one, I think this thread may have a long way to go as yet, ladies and gentlemen throw your hats into the ring.....
just email them with some valid explanation/fact about your blog visitors. I agreed with 'filipina4friends' to take the prevention act as soon as you realize a sudden increment of your earning. but for now, just email them because I read somewhere that there are cases that blogger get back their account.
Invalid click activity Hello... Better tell the neighbors and family to stop clicking your ads... ooops to late PS... and local internet cafe as well as the IPs are exact on all PCs Try Adbrite... they wont ban you but will take those clicks away after they figure it out laterz malcolm
Lol!! There are lots of honest dudes who are hanged for strange cases...i sent the form and explained my innocence....they havent said a word yet.. And about my Alexa ranking? My analytics says i get about absolute unique 500 visitors daily, some stories get 18k visitors if they index well at Bing..and normally, i get 1000 visitors as a regular threshold, Alexa???doubtful analysis..actually, its not the traffic that worries, but the phony clicks made out there...is there a way to track phonny clicks? Two, does ones PR and Alexa ranking really matter when Google wants to kick you outta their way? Some ideologies dont add up....Ideas please..we will blog about this and save as many adsense acounts as possible from this backlash!!
Whao!! I sent my innocence claim to Google and well, nothing came of it..so 'bye bye adsense!!' I have launched another News site and even for a sec..will never think adsense again....i wonder how many more of us will be subjcted to such bogus claims by Google!! Thanks for the great advice and support!! am earning much better with other ads and new earning strategies on the new one.....
it happened to me once. I had one impression and 7 clicks on a site that hardly ever get traffic. So I posted here about it and some of the members said to report it. So I did. What so strange about that day was that the same site would show 34 impression and then back to one. I'm still wondering if it is because of the google search function I put in. if someone searches and then the google window comes up with alot of sponsered links...bah, humbug. maybe someone would post an answer.
do you promote your website to your friend or family? don't ever promote your website to your friend. but if you're not doing that then try to appeal to google
