howiejs, of course I can't see any of this now that the account is gone, but what I last saw was a drop around the 11th of March. Most of the $350 came in by the 11th. You could see a huge drop in the earnings after that. The clicks and traffic were consistent to what I had been experiencing for 15 months (even during the 3K months in 2004).

Since my first post after the boot I think I may have the answer to why I lost my account. My main site is a forum and the Adsense ads appeared site-wide in the header. Which means they appeared on the pages that came up after a user posted a message. If this is the problem (and i'm sure it is the problem) then I'd have to say that my oversight on the TOS was an expensive lesson.

I would have thought that after 15 months no other problems they would have treated this as a warning offense. I would have fixed the problem in a heart beat if given the chance. Oh well... live and learn :)
