    adsense is telling me that my login is invalid. Then it's telling me that my email address has no account. Tell me that this isn't the beginning sign of me getting banned!

    I've never had crazy CTRs or anything like that, and believe me I've never made that much money. The only thing I can think is that my auto-adsense firefox plugin was logging in too frequently, but even that only logged in every couple of hours.

    I certainly haven't encouraged anyone to click.

    Ads are still showing on my sites without a problem.

    Well your AdSense ads are still being served with the revenue sharing here in this forum, so that's a good sign. People that are banned get a blank ad shown.

    Wow, that sure is a scare. Sometimes I mistype my password.. which leads to me waking up the next day on the floor realizing I fainted.

    Well, then what was the problem? Did you send a mail to the support team? At least I'm glad man that you are not out!

    What was your plan B by the way?

    Plan B I guess would be YPN until I build a traffic base large enough to do a roll your own kind of thing like quigo. I'm personally against advertising systems that set foreign cookies or banner advertising since those two things annoy me so much.

    My revenue levels are low at this point, but they pay for the basics so I'd be pretty bummed if I was out.

    Looked like it was just a temporary adsense quirk. I didn't get around to contacting google since the responses in this thread came back so quickly. I figured they wouldn't get back to me until at least tomorrow so I checked DP first - the real authority resource for adsense information :).

    You did the right thing, I feel. Dp is helpful and can I say here that sometimes it is faster than the official support? Hope it is not against TOS (**shivers**) :)

    This happens to me all the time (can't log in, error messages) but I just go do something else and log in later. I dunno, maybe I don't make FexEx money, but I rarely (re:never) worry about getting banned from Adsense. I guess you must make a ton, huh?
