I had an Adsense account that got suspended due to what Google say as "invalid clicks". In truth, some envious people clicked a single ad for hundreds of times and I think that made Google to suspend my account. I sent an appeal message to Google explaining the issue but they still declined to re-instate my account. Is there a chance that my account will be re-instated? What will I do?
Before sending the initial e-mail you should have gathered stats and evidence proving that you were click bombed etc. You normally get one chance... and it looks like that chance is gone. Move on is my suggestion; or if you were making decent money try e-mailing them again and let them know the situation.
If the site in your profile had the ads it may not have enough previous history for them to give you much of a second chance. I think if you have a long established account, and bring in a decent amount of revenue for them, they will give you a warning first. As many people have been mad at me I am surprised they have never contacted me. Sorry about what happened though
Okay, let me share this with you guys. The last time I emailed them they said "Thanks for informing us about the unusual activity on your website. We will look into this" and they also said "Please note that there's no need to alert us of all instances of invalidactivity, so we ask that you use your best judgment when reporting unusual activity on your site." Watcha gona do now?
You always have the people that watch their AdSense accounts every second and e-mail the team support about every little damn thing. "I received 2 clicks and only made 5cents... I suspect invalid clicks!" So I'm sure they need to put that in. If you see something seriously unusual, e-mail them....
Yeah it's a bitter pill to swallow but they're pretty firm most times on their decision though I have heard on rare occasion a site will be re-instated. As mentioned you need to provide logs and details of fraud activity. I did all of that though and after a year of trying gave up as in their TOS they don't have to reply and didn't. But I found another way...
If you are really banned, you can try a couple of things: Get an EIN from the IRS. Open up a business checking account with the same business name. Re-register with Adsense as a business. Go with MSN or Yahoo. (Do this in the meantime anyway so you stop losing money). Good luck.
gather all your server stats to support your4 claim on click bombing and send another detailed email. you already got banned and they declined you appeal so you got nothing to loose
Even if you have well-prepared for the evidences, I still think the chance is extremely low. I have encountered that for many many times, and none of them succeed.
