What exactly do they mean? Is this against the TOS? Can they (or will they) pull the account?
I'm confused, because they approved the site as it is right now. I haven't made any changes to the site since they approved it.
hmmm
Mack.
My understanding is you can use your code on any site you run.

So is there excessive use? If so, it's a legit warning and i'd take it serious.
>So the Adsense people think they can tell you how to run your site now?
Sure. Not now but since its beginning. Every advertizing network can do this and actually many do it. But i'd look at it a different way: they tell people how they SHOULD run their site if they plan to earn some bucks with AdSense. They don't have to though.
Also: your site pretty much only consists of a homepage and another one (domains) where you have a PR of 5 (without links coming in, how the hell you do that?), whereas your homepage doesn't even have a PR, there is some serious tweaking to be done in order for Google to like your site.
The way they operate and the way you described their e-mail sounds to me like one or three triggers came up from some crawler and kicked a canned message lose that addresses what the crawler believed to have found.
Having a couple of pages with content, getting rid of the competing text ads and get some links from the outside might help just fine.

One keyword/keyword phrase is targeted per page. And the keyword/keyword phrases all have a decent keyword density on the page (something like 1-10 percent). They usually rank well in the non-paid search results. That certainly cannot be excessive, can it be?
If you're unsure as to what they're speaking of in their email, or if you think the email was in error, feel free to respond to AdSense support and ask for clarification.
ASA.
This can get real ugly, because pretty soon I'm going to have to start filtering these and a lot of other Google wannabee eye-catchers that are coming out of the woodwork. I'm afraid one day I'll get the real thing and it might get's ignored! I hope Google is aware of the e-mail spamming going on using their name and tries to make real sure that an e-mail they send out looks like the real thing without question.
Just a few bad sites or advertisers pulling their ads could trigger the beginning of the end.
Not saying your site deservers to get pulled, but frankly the *harder* it is to get and stay into adsense the better AFAIC...
And yeah.. I think google can probably tell you exactly how to run your site as long as you want to advertise for them.
Remember adsense is very new, we can't even get detailed traffic stats yet, lol...
I'm getting spam e-mails made to look like something from Google advising me that my site needs to be updated to meet Google's rules and regulations.
Me too - numerous per day. Very annoying.
For true issues Google issues an incident number. I believe this tells the bots and automated responses that a Google human reviewer is involved and to let the human handle it.
The "fake" Google emails is scary -- as soon as I read it I went through my emails to make sure the emails from Google were really from Google.
