Heres google's link that discusses Invalid Links https://adwords.google.com/support/bin/topic.py?topic=35 The topic "What can I do to help monitor or prevent invalid clicks on my ad?" might help. best of luck! Trisha
Don't worry, no big deal. What you need to do is check your site backlinks and see if some traffic generation scheme is sending you hits. Once identified eliminate the source. Evil laugh.
You know whats weird...I got two of those letters in one day and I have less that 40 clicks in a one month span, total.
your right, I pulled adsense from two places my code was posted and I only have 3 adsense banner/tower ads on one site only and soon adsense on this forum. do you know if adsense completely shuts off your access to adsense if there is a problem or does adsense take a bite from your earnings?
i think it's a remender but i did no understand why they have wanted to remind these thinks to you.i'm a bit confused
i was in the same situation when i recieved the warning for no reason. i sent them all my logs, webstats.
