Ah....yes.
Run and get that off of your site ASAP. Do not lose, potentially, thousands and thousands of future dollars in order to make some extra cents.
In fact, I would suggest that you completely rip AdSense off your site. Every single ounce of code.
Then, come back here, make a pot of coffee and spend a day going through every post on this forum. Read, take notes, and apply.
Good luck.
Why did you say take all my adsense code off my site? I have it on my forums and on my main page and my forums it actually shows ads. I don't encourage anyone to do it the only place my ad shows is in my INDEX page. I have already made $0.55 from it heh first day having it up :)
You CAN'T promote clicking. And you CAN'T encourage other people to click on Gooooooooooogle Ads.

He probably said it because you obviously haven't read the TOS.
It's a good idea to know the rules before you play the game--especially if you're playing for pay and can't afford a lifetime ban.

I suggested that you remove your code because your question shows how much you don't know. I'm not knocking you either. We were all there at one point.
It is just that there is so much to learn about AdSense that until you are completely familiar with TOS and the do's and don't's, you should probably not screw arund.
Read through the posts here and see how many have been banned from AdSEnse for many reasons. Once you have that scare in you, then you should begin putting the ads back up.
Good luck.
I once posted a thread that there is a small forum for webmasters where they post their own url and exchange clicks with other webmasters. Something like you click on my site once, i click on yours twice.
And also, i received few emails from webmasters telling me to exchange links first. And then the funnier thing is :-
HELP SUPPORT THE SITE BY CLICKING ON THE GOOGLE ADS!
Well, there is no evidence for google to trace these. or maybe there is. I just don't know how. :>
that's WAAAAY too complicated and time consuming.
Much easier to just put a "Click here once a day" note ;)
You only get once chance being an adsense publisher, once your out, your out (or very lucky). So be very careful you don't cross the line and lose what could be a very sizable check each month.
I might need to ask people to click twice a day now ;)
Skepticism, in turn, will mean that fewer advertisers opt to spend their money on contextual advertising.
Fewer advertisers spending money on contextual ads means less revenue for publishers.
Less revenue for publishers means less money for you.
Get it?
You bleed the advertisers you bleed yourself.
What you need to do is everything possible to stop fraud, report fraud, convince others not to commit fraud.
You need to take the business of putting a halt to fraud personally because fraud will eventually hurt you, and your family, if they are depending upon your AdSense income. My reading here suggest that in some countries AdSense income is literally paying for the family's major expenses.
Think of AdSense fraud as someone hurting your family, because AdSense fraud really is going to end up hurting your family if you feed your family or pay your bills with AdSense income.
Now, what would you do to protect your family?
Protect the advertiser's interests - by stopping fraud - and you will end up protecting your own interests. Protecting your family's interests, if you're the breadwinner.
It's that simple.
