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.
Sincerely,
The Google AdSense Team
what do i do? i just made it past 100 something dollars, and have never got paid yet. Now they tell me that im banned. and i didnt even do anything wrong.
be honest to yourself, be honest to us:
have you attentively read and fully comprehended the tos? you really can't think of anything you have done which is against the rules?
it must not necessarily have something to do with the explicitly mentioned issues. insufficient site quality, improper navigation, questionable traffic sources, marginal traffic, unqualified content,...?
[edit]
sorry i didnt know that i couldnt post my site here

short review:
- i think adsense doesn't like pop-unders (your users neither)
- you have questionable content (games and stuff, bittorrent download etc.)
- you incite users to click (quote:"First I would like to say "ThankYou" to everyone who helped support *sitename*. Because of you guys, I am able to switchto a new server.")
that should suffice.. finished. next one, please..
and 30 visitors? as i like to say: no loss for you, no loss for google.
No sympathy here.
Your site:
Added some ads to the site, added a firefox browser download.
That's kind of pushing the line as to not drawing attention to the ads. Yes, others do much worse, but I think it's a bit difficult to use the "I didn't do anything wrong" statement.
Reread Google's TOS several times then go through your site with a fine tuned comb, removing anything that might be gray. Then write back to Google, hat in hand, profusely apologizing and ask to be allowed another chance since you went back and cleaned up your act.
Don't hold your breath, but you never know.
As for the rest of the sly comments - just remember - there are no favorite ants in an ant colony.
good luck
