banned from adsense

my life is gone

[pacman2]

it's two days since i got banned from google adsense. after 3 years of non problematic cooperation, after 3 years of no fraudelent clicks. i have never received a warning or anything about invalid clicks. i have never clicked my own ads. i have been paying thousands of $$$ for adwords. and now this - as the main source of my income, this means serious life issue. my account covered about 10 websites with hundreds of clicks every day. it's really serious...

i tried to contact google, but they are too strict to allow me back, or to say which site / ip / ad caused the problems, or whether it was even because of invalid clicks. i would have no problem of returning these money earned by some fraud (which i have no connection with), i would have no problem having banned the domain which caused the problems. but whole account? this is too hard punishment...

harsh man... are you sure you weren't doing something a bit naughty?

i'm not aware of anything - i have changed nothing at my websites in last few months. i really don't get this.

If Google won't tell you, find someone else to take a look for you.

Do you have any sort of balance with other affiliate accounts or income streams? Surely you didn't bet everything on Adsense after all the warnings the last couple years.

Are the sites PR0 and/or removed or is just your Adsense acct affected?

General question, if the sites are still indexed, could he use the wife's Adsense account?

Here are a couple threads that may be helpful:

Before anything, it's a good idea to read Google's AdSense Policies [google.com] and their Terms and Conditions [google.com].

I've been Reinstated - Adsense has let me Back in

There's not much we can do here to diagnose why you were banned. If you read the above posts you should get a good idea of how to proceed in getting reinstated if you feel you did not break any rules. And make sure you know the rules.

Good luck!
