Google Disabling Adsense Account

[Ralle]

Hello everyone!
This morning I received an email from the Google Adsense team.They said that my google adsense account has been deactivated. This is because they have registered invalid clicks. You can read about it here:
https://www.google.com/adsense/localized-terms
https://www.google.com/adsense/policies
Please do not do anything wrong.

o.0
so this means someone has been using a prog to click on the ads? can the bots possibly do this ..maybe?

 

[Sansui]

I hear google does this a lot. Sorry to hear that ralle, what is your plans to make the revenue back?

Yes. It's a pretty simple script.

But by 'invalid clicks,' it means that the same IP has been clicking it numerous times, or that it has been clicked many times frequently.
Google has to give a certain amount of money each time an ad is clicked, so they tediously monitor the ad-click rates and IP's.

I just don't know how to afford the server bills without google ads if they do not want to activate me again..

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

Get ads from yahoo instead. I can't remember if you have to be American to have that though (I think there was something about that).

This really sucks.... so we have no primary source of revenue for the server now huh? I hope we can find another....

 

[HappyTauren]

A most distressing development. The AdSense Program Policies states:

Invalid Clicks and Impressions
Clicks on Google ads must result from genuine user interest. Any method that artificially generates clicks or impressions on your Google ads is strictly prohibited. These prohibited methods include but are not limited to repeated manual clicks or impressions, using robots, automated click and impression generating tools, third-party services that generate clicks or impressions such as paid-to-click, paid-to-surf, autosurf, and click-exchange programs, or any deceptive software.

Will Google team provide a detailed description of if/how/when this was violated?
Can the account be reactivated?

I have seen other website having that problem (and eventually able reactivate their AdSense). Visiters need to remove extension or software that does "preview link" automatic. Google is really stupid about ads, disable account which website adminstration has no control over visiters' browser.

Heh, so, in a sense, you could completely screw over a site by developing a bot to repeatedly click all their ads. At least, you can remove their revenue.

Google could stop this problem by feeding the clicks back to your server and if you detect bot like clicking, you can ban the IP from the site and the ads for a period of time.

But probably they do not. . .

Give it a week and then panic since in a week a lot can happen.
Maybe look for other posible adds to use in the mean time.

Well, not really, because most sites have additional sources of revenue (be it paypal or popups/banners everywhere) so you would just take down one source of income, which would only make things worse because they would get more banners or popups etc in place to make up for it...

I contacted google tellking that I didn't do anything wrong. And hoping that they'd just ban the people screwing the ads.
So I hope they won't mess it all up

Though they all say "Your Ad Here for Free" will advertising advertisement slots get money for the servers? /:-.
