[edit reason] TOS [webmasterworld.com] violation. [/edit]
I know that there was invalid clicks because I was looking on my logs on server. I have send adsense team IP addresses of people who clicked on my ads, time when they clicked, also ads on which they were clicked...That were repeated clicks so I thought that that is reason why I would call them "invalid clicks" and report them to adsense.
If you go to alexa.com and write my sites url you will see that my site is registered 20.05. and that in last few days my site was in almost top 16K sites on the world.
There was 3 repeated clicks, I have contacted google adsense support and they thanked me for help. 8 hours leater they closed my account.

whaaaaaaaaaaaat?
3 clicks are not invalid clicks!
Just today I was searching for a product, I found a nice site with lot of info about the product I wanted to buy, but they don’t have the product, they have Adsense, I clicked on all those ads related to the product (8 Ads in less then 10 minutes) and I ended up buying from the best site out of the 8 sites.
People who click several times on Ads are people who are interested in what the Ad is about, many times i click on an Ad and then hit the back button and click on another Ad if the first one wasn’t exactly what I was looking for.
Apparently you are confused as to what invalid clicks means. It's not necessarily someone clicking excessively on ads. For example, if someone brings traffic to their site by advertising on a spyware network (like games that spawn web pages, or toolbars that spawn web pages, etc.), then that's an illegal click.
A site or third party cannot display our ads... as a result of the actions of any software application such as a toolbar.... Web pages displaying our ads... may not be loaded by any software that can trigger pop-ups, redirect users to unwanted websites, modify browser settings, or otherwise interfere with site navigation. It is your responsibility to ensure that no ad network or affiliate uses such methods to direct traffic to pages that contain your AdSense code. Accounts involved in this type of activity may be permanently disabled.
Here's an easy to read version of the Google Program Policies:

Good luck.
I'm trying to remember it, because the way I remember it going is, some of us thought you were generating a great deal of traffic by dubious photos, and you were warned that this is against google's TOS.
Does this mean that a malicious third party can get your adsense account suspended by advertising your site in a spyware network? Wow. Another tool for darkside spammers?
I really don't remember and you can tell me if I'm wrong, but I do remember seeing the URL somewhere before. I think Adsense has some kind of rule against spam.
Although emilex claims that his site isn't porno related.
I don't know if its fair to assume that the poster's id translates to these other sites
It isn't fair to assume... I've found my username being used by others on several sites.
Time and time again somebody posts a message not understanding why their account was closed. It is either in broken english, or difficult to read, or both. I have to wonder if they were able to understand the TOS in the first place?

Most of links to my sites were posted on forums and blogs. If its against the rules to post links to another site on forums and BLOGS - google MUST sell www.blogger.com because posting links on blogger is "AGAINST TOS"!
I cant believe that I`m writing this, I`m attacking Google and that is not my goal, but all this is not fair!
I have spent dozens of horus working on internet in past 2 years, I wanted to work with google and now I`m screwd up. (sorry abot all this but I`m drunk - what would you do if you were in my place?!)
If you go to alexa.com and write my sites url you will see that my site is registered 20.05. and that in last few days my site was in almost top 16K sites on the world.
So - let me get this straight. You go from a domain that doesn't even exist (May 20), to ~16,000th in the world according to Alexa ... in less than 30 days?
I can imagine Google would be a bit suspicious about this. I know I find it odd.
(sorry abot all this but I`m drunk - what would you do if you were in my place?!)
Option #1 Build a real website and play by the rules
Option #2 Get a new job
Option #3 Jump off the bridge
Fortunately, we have some great posts on things to do if one should find their AdSense account banned. If you were innocent and had not violated Google's AdSense TOS, there are some things you can do to try to get reinstated.
Please read the following threads for some good advice.
