I just like others do, found?-like AdSense mixed up with other ads, then report to G and ask them to improve the geotargeting stuff by not encoding non-ascii characters in iso-8859-1.

As always they thanks me and think it because they're still "young", ask me to filter such ads.

Later, they send me a warning letter about "use of excessive keywords" found in my site.

I begin to worry about it, since no one tell me how many keywords will be deemed as "excessive keywords". In my niche, I can only use "widget A", "widget B", "widget C"... to name them, no other words could replace them, otherwise become no-sense. Thus may lead algo think I used way too many same word "widget"....
Before that, I tried some SEO software to check my site, also told me I've used too many "widget" on single page. But I just cannot replace them. G also told me I can choose to remove AdSense...

I have found that when you write a letter to the AdSense department, this will draw attention to your site and they will start going through it. And as they seem to delight in exercising editorial control over your own website, this is attention you may not want.

I have completely stopped writing to them unless it's absolutely necessary.

Wow -- Agree! Almost every time G wrote back my feedback/report is the same:
1.Thanks;
2.We are still young; (mean the GAS program)
3.And suggest me to do something I've already done or known.

In fact, in this case, (junk-characters,?-like characters in AdSense) could be sovled by either (1) encoding the GAS iframe in UTF-8, or (2) not to mix up non-ascii characters with other western characters adverts. But they just told me to block them by filtering those ads...

So, don't report to them unless it is a life threaten crisis, methinks. :)
