Unbelievable Google mail - :( -

    Hey guys.... this is what I got yesterday:

    "It has come to our attention that invalid clicks or impressions have
    been generated on the Google ads on your site(s) through users of
    third-party programs paid or provided with other incentives to visit
    your site. Such programs may include, but are not limited to auto-surf,
    pay-to-surf, pay-to-read, or pay-to-click sites.

    As a reminder, any method of generating invalid clicks or impressions
    is strictly prohibited by our Terms & Conditions and program policies:

    https://www.google.com/adsense/localized-terms?hl=en_US
    https://www.google.com/adsense/policies?hl=en_US

    If we continue to detect invalid clicks or impressions from these
    services on your ads, we may disable your account to protect our
    advertisers.

    Sincerely,

    The Google AdSense Team


    "

    The funny thing is that I have 200 impressions a day and 3-4 clicks (less than 0.10$ income....)... Anyone knows what to do now?...

    Well, if you aren't doing any of the activities that they say you may be doing, I'd try to contact them to find out the problem and to get it resolved.

    i hope you aren't counting on that $.10.

    Realize that any time their algorithms hiccup they end up unjustly canning dozens (or hundreds) of publishers. Just be glad the hiccup only produced a warning.

    I think you are lucky to get just the warning, many publishers do not get such mercy from google.

    Let me guess...

    1. 180 out of the 200 impressions are you.
    2. Advertisers pay Google CPM.
    3. They waste their money on you.
    4. Hence you create invalid impressions.
    5. Hence you should be booted.

    Solution?

    Stop showing ads to yourself.

    It's not just about clicking, it's about impressions too.

    Are you using a autosurf/traffic exchange program to promote your site? If yes, stop using it.

    Yes, you only got 30 -50 visit, but you visit your site twice a day, so google can think that you are cheating impress. Don't visit your site more often or maybe you should remove ads before visit site

    What happens if you have no choice but to visit your site? Like if you run a blog or something?

    I've never heard anyone complain about impressions. During development I'll visit sites dozens of times. This is nonsensical. So now Google wants you to not visit your own site. That's not AdSense that's NonSense. I'm quite certain the impression thing is a red herring.

    Like posted above, just don't show ads to yourself or thousands of times to the same person. That's all they're asking. It's useless anyway. Remember, there are real advertisers at the end of those ads who want value for money, not the same dude in his underwear designing his site all month long.

    I dont think it is about impressions. This means that we should shop visiting our sites. How silly is that . I visit them thousands times a day. What if shawn gets banned for visiting forums.digitalpoint.com

    yep i don t think it s about impressions .. are yu sure you re not involved in those "let s click for each other" forums or groups ?? cause it s easy for google to detect that (a simple loop of click can proove it "just like reciprocal links") ...
    anyway just be aware ..better a 0.1 dollar now but a chance to improve after or a 1dollar now and you get banned all your life :)
    gooogle is going crazy these days ... i m receiving a lot of warning mails recently "all of them don t make sense and so WRONG" .. they have to change that insane BOT sending themm ..

    I think from time to time you will get people visiting their sites to see if the right ads are displaying. Iknow they can disable their impressions from being counted, but not everyone does this.

    Visit your own sites with javascript disabled... You won't see ads.

    I ever tried autosurf to get more traffic and got the exact same email from google. (thank google not to ban me, I didn't read through the TOS at that time) After apology to them, I decide to obey their rule from then on.
