    Ack!

    I got a letter from google stating that they have detected invalid clicks?!?! I swear I have not employed any shady techniques to increase my adsense revenue. When I asked for information on what site and date they detected these clicks, they replied by simply quoting themselves on the original letter.

    I use an auto-surf program to exchange traffic to one of my sites; but this site has no adsense code on it at all.

    I also have topsite buttons on one of my sites that do have adsense codes on it. Could this be it?

    Could be someone clicking your ads over and over. A lot of reasons for it and I really hate their automated reply system.

    Do you mean to check if my placement is against the TOS? In my opinion they arent....

    ...do you guys think there is an issue with placement? These are the only 2 sites that have adsense code on them.

    Check stats of all pages where you have got adsense enabled, if traffics are coming from auto surf, remove your url from those auto surfing sites immediately, lastly google will not warn you again, this is your last chance, next time they will ban you.

    i think it may be the problem.

    you are not allowed to use auto-surf programs as your traffic source
