My account was banned somewhere near Nov or Dec 2008 and I have launched two appeals both advising that I haven't done or promoted and invalid clicking explained why they may have occurred due to my advertising and on both occasions I got the email above noted, they will not budge even after this long period of time and me promising to keep a closer eye in case of any suspicious activity incurs me notifying them.<br>Which means if anyone wants someone banned from ad-sense (ad-words) all they have to do is possibly clicking a lot on their adds to create the suspicious clicking activity or as they call invalid clinking and they too will get banned forever,,,how fair is this???<br>I done nothing wrong and still I am punished for someone else possibly over-clicking my ads. Fairer would have been a warning and remove all funds from inactive clicking and return it to advertisers and if it happened again to then maybe just maybe ban the account. But this banning without giving any explanation nor a second chance I feel is unfair and manipulative of Google, they have me as a blogger on their blogspot, I have a google mail account and much more they surely can see me as being a honest person from all my other activity yet they won't give me a chance to redeem my status with them.<br>This is definitely wrong WRONG<br><br>The punishment definitely doesn't fit the crime if there was a crime.

Which means if anyone wants someone banned from ad-sense (ad-words) all they have to do is possibly clicking a lot on their adds to create the suspicious clicking activity or as they call invalid clinking and they too will get banned forever,,,how fair is this???

This is definitely wrong WRONG

The punishment definitely doesn't fit the crime if there was a crime. In my case I have never got a penny from google-adds ever, as I never reached the required amount and the little I had mounted up twenty odd or thirty odd dollars where clawed back and given back to advertisers (or just kept by Google I dunno) and they just say I pose a great risk to advertisers, how can that be….especially based on the figures I just gave, which were accumulated over months even with their so called invalid clicking.
Very WRONG Please protest …big companies like this always do what they want no questions asked.

Reason for the ban was worse than click fraud, I got no replies to my emails ... till I sent the right one. You have to do EVERYTHING you can before writing them. If you do your thing right, they will reply ... and most likely get you back (presuming it was not you who arranged false clicks). So, you have just seen G's customer policy at its best - do zilch, even mislead the wrongdoer, till he fixes his mistakes to the maximum. There is some justice in it ... it even has a funny side.

So, you have just seen G’s customer policy at its best – do zilch, even mislead the wrongdoer, till he fixes his mistakes to the maximum.

The quote is also from the TOS page so its not actually the content of their email to me. Hey Laza,

A month back is G's usual term for reviews (what they do till the 10th of every month). In addition to this, posting their email is againts their TOS, so it surely won't help your case. You would have done far better by sending them raw access logs, dude ;) Maybe, just maybe your site did had fake clicks BEFORE the adsense code was removed, which would still be in the prervious month.
