Was the CTR too high,even they were valid clicks?
My check for Feb is above 2k,will it be cleared?
My earning of March is about 1k,will I receive the check?
Last and most important,will it have some good to email google?Is there any chance for me to reinstate my account?
Thanks,and sorry for my poor English ^_^
i dont think that google decide on stats of one day only.
just wondering
if ur site is in english?. if yes
then how do you write your site content? 2k is big amount and you must have hundreds of pages .
It depends on themes, structure of users and other factors.
With absolut same layout, my sites CTR is 1:10 between best and worst CTR.
Quess why TOS does not allow to talk about CTR.
So people thinking about click fround will shure choose a complete wrong CTR for their attempt.
So, click fraud detection definately not based on simple CTR.
Click Through Rate has nothing to do with it.
There are many other methods to see different computers.

Google choose to ban your website, and the valid clicks which made google get their money all were passed from webmaster's pockets to the google's pocket, except call google a THIEF, which word can we choose to entitle google?
The so called Fraud Click is not clearly defindŁ¬and they never told you which rule are you act against.
i still remember when i was in CD store, there is a yellow line, when you take the CD mistakenly with you ,you were not considered a CD stealer before you across the yellow line.
but where is the yellow line of google? who judge you whether or not across the yellow line?
it's just google who told you that: there is a yellow line, unfortunatly it's invisible ,you can not across it. and it's also google who decide whether or not you have across it, even you have never reached the yellow line.
to be called a fraud clicker, at least we should know why? DOSE google told us why? NO, they NEVER!
Now, it's the Chinese webmaster were banned, tomorrow will be the Europeans, the day after tomorrow will be Indians, then in the near futures, the title of fraud clicker will fallen on the right head of yours.
Taken "Never be evil" as google's slogan, google does do evil things, that's my conclusion.
However, assuming someone is not lying when they say they did not click their own ads, this is scary.
at least we should know why?
It would make sense to me that Google probably doesn't go into detail about what triggered the 'click problem'. If they did, it would eventually make it easy to bypass whatever algos they're using to detect such things... we'd all know what they're looking for, and how they detect it.
In three days time, google would activate your new account then you could again paste its code in your real website where you earn 1-2k. In a month time, you'll receive your check and be back in track.
cheers!
It is indeed my worst nightmare.
I'm always expectig to receive such e-mail
from G. And for me it would be no food for my family.
It is sh!ty that anyone here can get such e-mail
because I suppose we all violating TOS in some manner.
I'm not talking about click fraud,
but for instance:
"it is against TOS to build sites for Adsense"
How many of us violate this one for instance?
70-90 % if not whole 100%
Of course new Adsense account on name of your wife's brother could help a little.
But in present case this guy will lose
2K for shure +
march
+april
Yeap,
it is a lot and
for third world countries (like mine for instance)
this is a boundary between good life and
poverty.

I can assure you that it isn't 100%.
I really suppose you are clean guy in all aspects
and we are just small fish around.
Just imagine -
I'll go to your site
next 10 days exactly the same time and click all your ads an all pages.
You'll be kicked off Adsense immediately.
The point is -
It should not be like that.
But how to prevent click fraud?
This is the question.
Maybe your puppy chewed on your ad.

Doubtful.
Not too long ago, one of my channels reported something like 305 clicks from 10 impressions - however, only $.82 in earnings.
I reported the discrepancy to Google, made a copy of my raw logs, and am still in the program.
Their system reported the clicks, but obviously didn't credit me for them - and it was all done automagically.
The thing is, all respect to the initial poster - most people are kicked out for violating Google's Adsense T&C - and as has been said ad nauseam in this forum - "invalid clicks" describes any activity which leads to the generation of invalid clicks - whether they are self-clicks, incentivized clicks, false targeting of high value keywords through the use of hidden keywords, etc.

I've had similar experiences twice. On one occasion, a clickbot or random clicker ran up about $1,300 in excessive clicks (based on my daily average) in a matter of hours. In each instance, I reported the anomaly to Google, they said "thanks," and that was it.
I suspect that most people who get tossed from AdSense for "invalid clicks" fall into one or more of several categories:
1) People who have tried to defraud Google or advertisers;
2) People whose sites are clearly "made for AdSense" or look shady in some other respect and therefore don't receive the benefit of the doubt;
3) People whose audiences, topics, or type of content are prone to repeated incidents (say, a forum on a controversial topic, a site that caters to kids who click out of curiosity, or a site that has an ongoing war with a competitor).
Another factor may be the amount of revenue that the site generates. If a site is bringing in only $10 a day and has more than one episode of "invalid clicks" (whether or not those clicks are known to be fraudulent), Google may feel that the account isn't profitable enough to keep.
By the way, my earlier post wasn't about click fraud; it was in response to the suggestion that 70-90% or even 100% of AdSense publishers have "made for AdSense" sites. That suggestion was clearly off-base, if only because so many sites with AdSense ads existed long before Google launched AdSense.
Out there on the web are thousands of sites and publishers that have made great content sites
Um, wasn't that exactly EFV's point?
It makes zero sense to call EFV down for something that you immediately turn around and agree with!
I wonder what percentage of sites in the AdSense program do predate it? There must be thousands, but there also must be many that were created since AdSense launched.
