False Accusations

Quote:

Dear Paul Rogers

It has come to our attention that invalid clicks have been generated on
the ads on your web pages. We have therefore disabled your Google
AdSense account. Please understand that this step was taken in an
effort to protect the interest of the AdWords advertisers.

A publisher's site may not have invalid clicks on any ad(s), including
but not limited to clicks generated by a publisher on his own web
pages, clicks generated through the use of robots, automated clicking
tools, or any other deceptive software.

Practices such as these are in violation of the Google AdSense Terms
and Conditions and program polices, which can be viewed at:

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

Sincerely,

The Google Team

Hello Paul,

Thank you for your email regarding the action taken on your account.

Well, you would only get paid upon your first 100$ earning, so... I'm at 50 cents, get the picture???

I know that you get paid at $100 but my account got banned for invalid clicks. I dont think I had any at all and i followed the TOS.

Google is perfectly justified in taking these actions. Read the Terms of Service, which you supposedly agreed to upon signup.

Do not click your own ads. Do not tell others to click the ads. Do not incentivize in any way. Do not label the ads with anything other than "Sponsored Links" or "Advertisements". It's very clear, and yet I've seen many publishers breaking one of these rules. They eventually get suspended, and rightfully so.
