It doesn't matter if I am banned or not, all I'm saying is google is accusing me and I'm sure many others of total bullshit, we earn them loads. They basically stole $200+ from me.
They didn't "steal" anything from you. You were credited for non-human (bot) clicks, which were then reversed. These clicks are not what the advertisers are paying for. Should the advertisers be penelized and have to pay for these bot clicks?
i don`t agree with google.....why they don`t send this mail from the first 100 invalid clicks? Now let`s think that they don`t refund money from the invalid clicks back to advertiser.......google can make a lots money in this manner.....
what you are saying is basically right and should always work this way, but... one of the guys at proxy org forums reported that adsense deducted 3 times the money he has ever earned with andsense on his proxies. and its not the only case reported. and more than that how can adsense reverse 100% of clicks on someones proxies because of non-human clicks (which has also been reported), when those sites have been advertised through adwords??? was adwords also sending non-human bots to those sites?
Should i mention the word "lucky" that you are not getting a ban letter, but i do wish that G will recalculate and look into your case. I was bad luck enough to get banned because of my neighbour, so excited to see the ads and treated it was my topics.... My case of re.. how to mention to get back the account, in a word... i forgot, my english. Lastly, i do hope that G will consider and give a good proof and explaination into this matter. Put it this way, who will want to spoilt his/her own bowl, before filling the rice. Regards, David Cheong.
Well, not working for google, I can only give an answer that makes sense, at least to me. If your account was flagged because of the bot hits from proxy.org and audited, they must have gone back a number of months and reviewed past clicks to determine what was invalid and what wasn't. This would be the only thing that would make sense of what was described by those people affected.
ok now, I read lots of topics about money being deducted from accounts. what did you guys do? sent them and e'mail to check your account for invalid clicks and they replied with this or it just came in your inbox? I'm thinking to send them one too (or wait for one) even if I don't run a proxy site, but "better safe than sorry" even if they get some $$ out of my March income. and I also noticed that webmasters that send mails to google to check their account are not as easy banned as the rest ( this must be because G makes the difference between a webmaster who cares about his account and one who doesn't).
i started moving from adsense to other ppc networks.some are better than adsense( of course only for some niches).
i saw someone else being deducted more then 1k so i guess you are in a pretty good situation comparing to that guy...it still sucks tho..you are right
mabe its from them buying that site for like 2 billion or w/e mabe there trying to recoupe losses by taking bits out of everyone...
I think the google try to change their policy and this is better than having your account banned without any money received.
I don't own any proxy site, but this is quite interesting situation if they ban people because of this reason while they show this kind of ads... "Ads by Google Myspace Proxy Proxy Unblock URL Proxy Best Proxy" ehhh...
When I first heard about this deduction thing, I thought they were kidding/was untrue. These stories proves it real and this really really sucks.
Hello, Can you visually see the deduction that Google made in the adsense account? if so can someone point me where to go in the adsense account? I have received a similar email but I dont see any deductions on the account. Thanks
