Why should be one banned if its not his/her fault
If you have just started the adsense biz then such statements demoralize you a lot \...what should one do? there should be some tutorials for newbies on how to handle such situtations..
what should one do
Play by the rules, sleep well. It's pretty much as simple as that.
I know this as I reported a bunch of sites for saying "Click on the ads". All but 1 of them complied are still serving ads. The one that didn't clearly ignored the Google email requesting changes, but it did find it's way onto his website to protest that Google had banned him!
Not all the tales here are exactly as they seem. Work within the TOS and Google will work with you.
Do you lose sleep over the possibility of being struck by lightning? No? Would you be concerned if I told you it's actually much more likely than being attacked by a shark? Still no?
Then why lose sleep from a fear of getting banned? It's no more likely and the consequences are not as severe....
The fact is that the items you listed are uncontrollable. The main purpose of the human emotion of fear is to prod you into action but since there's no (reasonable) action you can take to prevent such things happening your worry is pointless.
Take a deep breath, log out and go catch a movie. Preferably a light-hearted comedy. Maybe call Tracey from the office and see if she'd like to go?
1. Keep your website clean
2. Don't tell anybody about your website
3. Stop worrying - busy yourself building content
4. Watch your stats - but not obsessively
5. Don't click your own ads
6. Get rid of the fear
Job said, "What I have greatly feared, has come upon me."
i will lose sleep if people in my community are attacked by a SHARK as WebmasterWorld/Adsense is such a community in which i live with others
i hope it makes sense
"Take a deep breath, log out and go catch a movie. Preferably a light-hearted comedy. Maybe call Tracey from the office and see if she'd like to go? "
I guess this is wht i really need at the moment....Thanks
But as others are saying: that worry or that fear does you no good. The only way to be sure you will never get a click attack on AdSense ads is not to have AdSense ads.
So leave AdSense, or stop worrying about it. If you're playing it clean, you have little to worry about.
2. Don't tell anybody about your website
Not sure if that's such a great idea... ;-)
(Yeah, I know what he meant.)
1. Website banned because of DDos Attacks
2. Website banned because of sudden high traffic
3. Website banned because one of the competitor make invalid clicks
4. Website banned because a collegue in office make invalid cliks
5. Website banned because someone use my adsense code on other website and make invalid clicks
6. Website banned because.............................
No real evidence that most of those events ever happened.
Just because someone said it on the internet doesn't make it true. And cheaters are not always the most honest people.
It only takes a little find and replace to implement it. And there is little or no fear with such a position.
I love Google adsense but it makes no sense to take unnecessary chances.

Did you read his original post?
Fear makes no sense.

Don't worry it will be fine.
Noone can actually do that although you almost certainly will be fine if you play clean.
As a publisher, all you can do is remain aware that is some possibility of getting dropped from AdSense, just as you might get dropped from Google's index, or your niche might be invaded by hungry new competitors, or you might get blackholed and lose your web hosting if someone sends spam in your name, or you might be sued by someone with deep pockets over a dubious trademark or copyright violation.
I'm not saying don't quit your day job, but this is inherently a business of huge ups and downs. If you really need that AdSense check to arrive so that the rent/mortgage check clears, this is not the business for you.
Do you lose sleep over the possibility of being struck by lightning?
I actually have been hit by lightning. So I do worry about that. I think I'm entitled.
(I also worry about getting my account cancelled for some reason outside of my control.)
