How? Why? Read it! I am click on my adunit, and then change keywords on the end of URL. Why am I do that? I am just want to se some other paid ads. After I change that URL, I am found some intresting ads for me (for trading - saxobank). Because my parents trade stocks, I am click on it. After couple hours I am kicked from adsense program. I am a part of adsense program till 2004. and I am one of the first publisher (in my country) who use it adsense. I know all policies, and I am also before click from my computer (only when I foun something intresting) on my adsense ads, and I am not give money for that. I am click because I know how adsense work.. But I am forget that I am clicking on changed URL, and google that characterized like invalid click (because thay it is)... Couple hours later I found this http://www.google.com/sponsoredlinks, now I am really anger on myself. I am close own account for nothing and I dont know what to do now. Do You have any suggestion?
I am click on ads couple times in this 2 years (because I am found interesting ads), but that clicks are not paid. This is first time when I am be paid for clicks who I make. I am ask google support before can i click on my ads if found interesting ads, because in banner 468x60 i can't see url and if I using FF also can't see in status bar. They tell me, that I can do that, but not to often and also for every that click (i think 10-15clicks in 2 years) I'm not be paid. In my ad unit I am change url and click on ads, but I am forgot that google algorithm this characterized like invalid click. One invalid click from my computer is enough to be kicked out from google.. That is good news for advertisers but now for me because I know all TOS, and I'm not junior in adsense program.. I'm have 2000$ on adsense for December, and I don't give about damn for that money I just want back my account I'm not want endanger/imperil?! my adsense account for some 0.2$ if I earn much more..
10 to 15 clicks in 2 years is A LOT!!! No wonder you got banned. There were other ways to find the URL from the ad. Or you should have just let it be and search the internet. You should have known better. Google says DON'T CLICK ON YOUR OWN ADS. Whether it be 1 time or 100 times.
But what if I find some interesting ads and I don't see url?! These 10-15 clicks are not invalid, because these ads are also targeted to me. I make that site, I know about that theme, and what if I click sometimes!? Ok, I'm not paid for that, np. maryn: "There were other ways to find the URL from the ad." I now but if I don't have tool for that? I repeat, they throw out me for only one really invalid click. Also I confess that click accidentally... And now don't know what to do!? I'm damage myself, no one other.. Anyone have some suggestion what to do now?
I don't know who told you its ok to click on your own ads. Its against the policies and you got banned for that.....You are lucky you weren't banned before .
i think it was not smart to click your own ads. but you could have set your own ip for internal traffic. so google knows it is non paid clicks. i have done this for the mods and for myself.
How to do it? Can you please tell me about set your own ip for internal traffic? So that if accidentally click our ads wont be paid.
WHy complicate life? SImply don't click on your own ads, or: 1) use firefox 2) downlaod Greasemonkey plugin 3) Downlaod adblocker. So what does this do? You can toggle the adblock by clicking one button. Which means you can view the google adwords when you need to work on your site, and then turn off the google ads so you simply won't see them anymore in your browser. You can't click on an ad if you don't see it! I hope all this makes sense.
Do you mean you rather visit sponsors that interest you than keeping your AdSense account? There are many ways to view the ads on your site. Clicking on your own ads = killing your account, unless you contact the Google AdSense team immediately. For now, you might want to find an alternative as I think Google won't get you back the account as it is clearly your wrong.
You do not have to click on an ad to know the URL. You can right click on a Google ad and click on "properties". You will see something like this: http://pagead2.googlesyndication.co...blablabalablabalablabalablalabal&num=1&adurl=http://www.hostingdude.com/google.htm&client=ca-pub-6052134872580891&nm=7 You will find the URL right after "adurl=" Best of luck in reinstating your account.
Sorry but I'm not MFA, also after that click my parent are open account for trade in saxobank (I have ameritrade), so you are not judge.. So, Yahoo publisher network is not available international, do anyone know when will be? Any other good alternative? I know what am I do wrong, only make one invalid click. Now just want contact someone from google to explain that invalid click.. How long I will be banned before I came back into adsense program?
That is really sucks if I, for only one real invalid click who I made accidentally, banned forever. I try to say, I'm not made just click on my ads (for that google only take money), I'm made one invalid click (google take money and banned account) accidentally. Just only one, I know what is my mistake.. But now I cant explain to some big corporation, because algorithm is smarter than man.. Yea wright, who wrote that algorithm, man/mans or Google, or shod I write google? And why they do not tolerate one or two invalid clicks, everyone can make it accidentally. UPDATE: Hmm.. I going on internet via wireless, and we have the same IP address (about 10 people), I'm before long time ago log into adsense from couple different computer in our network. When you log into account you get cookies, maybe one of them are jealous and they want to sabotage my adsense. Because I also don't believe that google don't have tolerate for one or two invalid clicks.
you can send them an email but i don't think you will be able to go in again. interested or not you are not allowed to click on the ads on your site. you can get the Ad Preview Tool from google which will help you find the target URLs
Yes, I agree with you that I cant click on my ads, but I'm just forget that and click on my own ads. Like I click on others when I found something interesting, like I'm on statcounter.com click on your addurl.nu ads, because I'm not see it on this forum... And we all should be do that, and not using some tool for see url of ads.
