    Why shouldn't you be punished just because you didn't do it on purpose? (It's not punishment anyway - they don't want to do business with you because you're a liability to them)

    N E way....Move on! There are many good ways of making money online - dont worry about it.

    Not really. I'm in Canada so there's no other option than Google.

    Trust me - I've checked. Fuck Clicksor.

    It may not have been the accidental clicks at all. Could be something else. G uses the "invalid clicks" terminology to refer to a variety of different actions that are violations of TOS. Don't bother asking them what the specific cause of the ban is. They won't tell you.

    I'd forget about Adsense and check out other revenue sources.

    Google will not ban you because you clicked your own ads once, twice or five times a month.

    There must have been another reason for those invalid clicks.

    Peace,

    True

    I must admit I also have clicked my own ads 2-3 times in the last months, just because I've seen interesting ads with no url displayed, but that won't ban me from adsense....

    It is very important where your main traffic comes from

    If the main traffic is yourself, lol, clicking 2-3 times on mesothelion ads, and making $60 lol, then you've got reason to worry

    Maybe your friend clicked your ads to get to in the same boat.

    It was just like you worked for a company, and you got fired because you did something wrong. They wouldn't pay you even though you had worked for a month or so since last paycheck and they told you that's the punishment.

    Are you guys joining the dots here? I don't see any mention of help by a friend (although seems a likely explanation).

    I agree with this, I have clicked my ads a few times and I was ok. One of those times I emailed adsense and explained what happened.

    I definetly recommend emailing adsense whenever your worried about anything. The do closely monitor all clicks.

    usually they don't respond to emails with account disabled for invalid clicks. and if they do, expect a generic, bot-generated email saying they've confirmed that invalid clicks were generated, bla bla bla.

    my advice, just take it as a lesson and go on with another program like Text-Link-Ads, Adbrite, etc etc.
