..i have a couple of doubts about it: I violated some TOS in hte past and all i had is a warning message from google (after that, i kept myself clean, you know, everyone can make mistakes) Also, i'm not currently doing anything, and i'm not making any money, even though i get like 300 impressions from old blogs that i don't update anymore. And, for the record, i never got to the $100. Now, is there any chance that i get my account removed if this situation keeps going? What when (if ever) i get to the $100, they will remove my account for those violations i made in the past? (even though they noted them and sent me the warning) What about not updating my blogs or making new material? can they remove me from that too? i know that google can be unpredictable of when/why they remove your account, but i want to start some project when i have the time to do so, and i don't want to lose a valuave way to get an income, since it's the only advertising network i can join in my country, and i don't want to invest time and money for not recieving nothing in exchange. any answers, suggestions or comments? thanks!!

Sincerely, The Google AdSense Team i got that mail on july 11th. A couple of days later, i claimed my PIN and they sent it. (if it's useful info)
I think you are still safe as they did send you this message..Someone got banned without a warning. Now work harder on your sites,hope you'll reach the $100 mark soon . Best of luck !
I'm amazed that you got a warning at all, considering all the horror stories I've heard. Google can do pretty much whatever they want to do regarding your AdSense account, but you aren't actually violating any of their policies. I don't think they are going to terminate your account, but I'd still get on the ball with that new project if I were you. The sooner you can start generating some legit clicks for them the better off you are.
well if it was related to click fraud, then they can do anything later! But genrally as far as i have seen, if you don't do anything wrong after the warning email, then they don't terminate your account! But who knows google is very strict in case of Adsense!
I hope you're right! I'm having a nice project of a topic that is my passion and y would be very happy if i can have fun and meake some money doing it! Thanks a lot!
Yep sometimes they don't send any warnings...but i have seen few of my frnds getting warnigs...when they clicked on their accounts!!!
Yea,no one knows what they are going to do. I think you've already reached the $50 mark..(as you've got the PIN) So just give it a try,$50 isn't that hard to get.
yep, i actually made $51 in 15 days writing a blog about the soccer world cup (making comments about the final round). Unfortunately, when the tournament ended i ran out of ideas, and a couple of weeks later a ran out of time. Now i got i nece idea, i just need the time Thanks for the feedback!
yep, i accidentally clicked my own ad and joined a autosurf program. They sen't me the message, i erased my autosurf account and some money from the impressions was taken off my account, after that, everything kept being normal. (of course, after that mail i carefully read again the TOS)
Write some quality articles and submit it to digg.com or some other ones,then probably you'll get $50 in a few days
wow, do you think so? in that case since i hace plenty of time this week i'll spare some time to try that, thanks a lot!
Like he said, you won't know until you get there, but Adsense isn't the only way of making money from a website. PS: Loving the icon, I just watched V is for Vendetta
Interesting, I didn't know that Google will send a warning email like that... You are a lucky guy, Someone got banned without a warning. Just trying to keep it clean and obey the rules, I believe you won't get any problem for that.
