Exactly my point... Allow people to prove being innocent and give out a real proof, not just "we believe that..."
Let's be clear. AdSense is flawed. And even though I believe they are trying to protect their advertisers, if they were a decent company my appeal would have been accepted. I did nothing wrong. Now that's not right.
In terms of individual it can be unfair...sometimes. In terms of volume, it makes sense. G doesn't care about individuals, they care about volume. I am afraid smart pricing may get even more important in the future. And the only answer to effectively counter back cheaters is to get paid when the objective is done: sale, subscription, survey, lead, whatever. Though serious and committed webmasters would not have to worry that much. I think (?)
Actually I have no problem at all with smart pricing. Getting $1 or more because some random person clicked a link doesn't seem a viable business model. If you're going too far in fooling people into clicking an ad, and they get annoyed and don't stay on the advertiser's site long, why SHOULD the advertiser pay a lot for it? It's the obvious conclusion of the keyword-bidding concept. People won't pay more money than they are getting, in the long run. Smart pricing hopefully is a long-term, reliable way to cut down on useless websites. Of which there are maaaaaaany.
