I just recently signed up with the Adsense program. After 2 months with the program, Google disabled my account because they say that I had invalid clicks. I have not received any payment but noticed that the visits to my website increased and so did the PPC income with the Adsence account.

My website is still advertising the Google ads.

Is there any way to reactivate the account? Will Google pay me for the income generated during the two months? Does anyone know? Has anyone ever had this problem?

You probably wont be able to get your account back unless you have some serious proof you didnt do anything wrong and then it is still up to Google. Even if you havent done anything they still can say no. And you probably wont see the money you earned.

I replied to the Google email. I wonder if they will respond. However, it sounds like there is a lot of worry involved in using Google Adsense. They can disable and withhold payment anytime for any reason, whether true or not.

I don't know if I will be as lucky as Suzy, especially after Google lost at $90M lawsuit relating to invalid clicks.

I think it might be better if I look for another program to join. I don't want this stress of worrying about who visits my site and clicks on what. I want to thank all those who have responded. Thank you.

Are you sure the email was from Google?

I have recently read that some spammers are sending these out. Why? I don't know. Check all the header information to be sure.

Why? I don't know.

I replied to the Google email.

From the sounds of it, it's a great way to find legitimate email addresses to use for spamming. Send out a million and get a few thousand replies.

Yes, I am sure it was from Google. I went to the Adsense account and found it disabled. Now, the took the ads away, so I now have to remove the Adsense codes from my site. Otherwise, where once were the ads are now displaying "You do not have authorization...".

I am disappointed that when my site was finally getting visits and Adsense started showing income, Google shut it down. I wonder if they will ever let me know how they concluded I had invalid clicks.

They won't. It's would be like the people at Coke giving you their secret formula.

I don't know what's in those threads, but a lot of people don't realize that if you have things on your website that are against the terms of the agreement, then Google will consider all clicks to be "invalid clicks". Adult content, asking people to click, having no content on the page, drawing attention to the ads, etc.

Here are a couple threads that may be helpful:

I've been Reinstated - Adsense has let me Back in
A member recounts their experience at being removed from the AdSense program, but subesequently reinstated when she proved that she was not responsible for false clicks.

There's not much we can do here to diagnose why you were banned. If you read the above posts you should get a good idea of how to proceed in getting reinstated if you feel you did not break any rules.

And make sure you know the rules. ;)

Good luck.
