Unban odds

    Hey everyone,

    I was building one of my webpages the other day with a google ad on it and I accidentally clicked it while scrolling through the page. There was about 50 series of events next but in the end, my account was deactivated due to illegal clicks. I believe google made a mistake by banning my account and I have emailed them a good page long explanation of my situation and how stupid it would be for me to jeopardize such an extensive income for an extra $5 a month from my own clicks... I was just wondering what do you think my odds are of getting my account back? Slim? I had about $500 from the past 2 months in my account so its pretty frustrating. Thanks :)

    Again, like said before. Your a big income bringer therefore the chances are small but what you did is not a mistake and you deserve the ban.

    I think that "Ads by google" has a link for "Funny Jokes" says it all.

    You clicked your ads, Google made no mistake. As City2 said, you deserve the ban.

    I don't see why you guys are being so crude, it was an accident? I was scrolling through the website with the mousewheel and i accidentally clicked it, I tried to stop but it had already registered. The series of events were me fluttering and freaking out and contacting google and what not. How was it not an accident, can you please elaborate?

    Who cares?? Why are you explaining this to us? Do you see any Google employees around here??

    Rule is: clicking your ads is forbidden, if it is an "accident" or not doesn't matter.

    I see no flames.

    The chances are very slim.

    Google doesn't ban for a single click, either. There is more to this story.

    Hello emz,

    I won't flame you, just tell you what you asked. Hopefully slim to no chance. The fact that you clicked and had more events and even know how much your clicks were worth(you mentioned an extra $5) suggests you are a habitual offender.

    Wish you good luck with finding other affiliates, but if you keep up your self-admitted habits there won't be many willing to accept you after awhile.

    Best of Wishes,

    tom

    Hmm. If that was really a mistake, I'm sorry for you.. You know as well that there's not much chance.

    Google has never banned anyone for accidently clicking on their own ads once.

    Never.
