Wow, I would definitely recommend anyone that wants to run google ads to look somewhere else--you are totally at their mercy and they dont need to give any explanation whatsoever. In this guys case, it wasnt even him who clicked on the ad. What if you have some idiot from another country click on ads on your site a bunch of times...how can you help that? If your click thru rate is too high, then they must be false clicks and google will bad. you. I'm going to look into other types of ways to make money like adbrite or affiliate marketing. Google is a joke they way they provide absolutely no customer service. There are other ways to make $ advertising online.....
Sorry to hear that your adsense account was banned. I do occasionally talk to friends about my sites and the adsense platform as well. I guess I better stop before I end up in the same boat as you.
Sounds like your friend is a jerk because he didn't respect what you asked. And like a few other opinions, I don't think its just because of him, but I'm sure that only contributed to it
i tried to send mail to their support when i got banned but no reply i've received. i 'm now using my wife's adsense
Yes, I told him I had clicked my ads and got the google stick already. So I know the temptation for easy clicks. But he should have resisted. Definately do not tell friends and family. It can only lead to trouble. Google could have banned me when I clicked so i was like phew. Now for a friend to do me in. Everyone here is a better friend to me. I thank you all for your support in this hard situation. I get a one in a lifetime deal and blow it. If I get another shot I will buy software for click fraud and put in on the server. There won't be any messing around.
No wife here. I pray they can analyze and with my information I provided see it was my fatheaded friend who did me in trying to help me. I don't even have other friends. So its a sad situation
