Hello all, I have been domaining for a while and I only recently started developing some names with very little success. I have been using Adsense for about 3 months and have only generated about $20. I have seen many clicks that get no earnings so I assume that Google considers them to be invalid. Keep in mind that none of these clicks were generated by me and I have not asked anyone to click on my sites - so it must be something else. I have been getting into the world of developing more and more as days pass and I am improving my techniques all the time. I have some sites that generate lots of traffic - but I haven't put Adsense on them yet due to the following reason. For the past few weeks, I have been pondering with the idea of contacting Google and asking them to check through my account. I want them to see why any of these clicks were considered invalid and if any clicks or sites could be potentially posing any risk to my account. On the one hand, I am thinking that if there is any problem, Google will let me know and I can correct it so that when I hit that $100 point and they have to go through an intense review of my account there won't be anything to find that's against the rules (quite frankly, I wouldn't mind if they took that $20, since I believe that an Adsense account is worth more than that in the long run). On the other hand, I am concerned that maybe such action could get me banned if something is found. Like I said, I am new to developing and Adsense, and I am guilty of not having read all the policies as all of us should. I was just testing out the program. I would love to hear your views on the matter and would appreciate any advice you might have for me. Thanks in advance!
I personally can't see anything that would be against the adsense policies. Maybe only the fact that some of my sites don't have much content (only have about 5 articles in each site) but they wouldn't ban anyone for that. However, I have had about 25 invalid clicks since the time I started using adsense - many of which are from the same site - so I would like to do something to make sure that I am safe.. Any ideas?
