That is scary!!! I've been behind a computer and telephone once, answering calls to frustrated customers.. and I've seen how they feel... my hands were always tied "in the name of customer satisfaction" where I can't do the obvious thing because it will "destroy customer satisfaction"... and, yes, canned responses for helping the agent get his daily target... not sure if that's the case with Google though... There are many publishers who use Adsense as a ground for generating income. The fact that we are searching for "adsense alternatives" and not "clicksor alternatives" or "ypn alternatives" states how much adsense has influenced our lives. I'm just hoping they start looking at publishers seriously - it's like an automated death sentence, like I read somewhere in DP... In my case, I have many websites, and I've asked them which one it is that got the invalid clicks so I can check and let them know.. multiple impressions were understood, because I have adsense on some of my sites, and I have to modify and test new features on the site - which I explained, hoping a human would look at it... And, looking for good adsense alternatives as well... hoping for the best...
That is not true, when I was click bombed, I received 2200 clicks and no money because they invalidated the clicks. However, I sent a report through the forms they provide and they did not ban me and reassured me that they would keep an eye on any further problems.
That's the problem. I hardly have any visitors and none clicked on the ads. That's why I don't understand why my account was banned for invalid clicks.
If you had very few visitors do you know who they were? Had you told some friends / family about your new site? And maybe mentioned you hoped to make dollars with adsense? If so they might have tried to help you out. If the few clicks you had were all from the same person, that will be the problem. It's easy to do when you're starting - when I had just started I told a member of my family about it, how I hoped to make cash from adsense...then I lived in a panic for months after that in case they tried to help out.
how many visitors you got ? did you use any visitors tracking site like statcounter.com ? what was your traffic source ? ( search engine, etc ... ) did you use chat room or junk email to publish your site ?
