Not a day goes by without somebody complaining that they’ve been shutdown by Adsense because of “click fraud”. Scary isn’t it? Imagine waking up and getting the following email from Google:
It has come to our attention that invalid clicks have been generated on the Google ads on your site(s). 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 - a publisher encouraging others to click on his ads - automated clicking programs or any other deceptive software - a publisher altering any portion of the ad code or changing the layout, behavior, targeting, or delivery of ads for any reason Practices such as these are in violation of the Google AdSense Terms and Conditions and program polices, which can be viewed at:
Publishers disabled for invalid click activity are not allowed further participation in AdSense and do not receive any further payment. The earnings on your account will be properly returned to the affected advertisers.
All the hard work, all the long nights, all the sweat & tears you’ve put into your websites… vanished in an instant!
And while some people are banned because they violated Adsense’s terms (a big NO NO), another BIG group of unfortunate webmasters are banned because of no fault on their part!
