My AdSense Account Has Been Disabled:(

[princecharming]

It's ridiculous! I alway warned other publishers not cheating on forum while my account is disabled now. I have held my payment for a couple of months, so there has 1#*$! $ on my accout, and Google said I will not receive it:(

Google said my account has been disabled because of "invalid clicks". I used adsense for about a year. I swear I NEVER click or ask somebody to click on my ad since I placed adsense on my websites.

Google used to be my most respected company, but it is not any more. I have removed Google from my IE homepage.

So your plan is to wait for some princess to kiss you?

If you've read other threads in here you CAN get re-instated like SuzyVirtual

a) - Write them a nice letter assuming you haven't already burned your bridges with flame mail, beg, plead, throw yourself on their mercy that "you did nothing wrong and they should credit back anything suspicious that anyone else did, but it was without your knowledge".

b) - NEVER NEVER let them hold more than $100! It's YOUR money for starters and when you leave it in their checkbook they earn interest and those cats are fat enough already

[HitProf]

And how are you going to accomplish b)?

[incrediBILL]

You can't do b) once it's disabled :)

Just a warning to the rest that let money pile up in their account.

Steve Miller said it best:
"Go on, take the money and run..."

I am waiting for my princess Fiona, but she married an ogre.

I guess I don't get it. How do you remove money from your Adsense earnings so that Google never owes you more than $100? I was under the impression that publishers only get paid within 30 days (or whatever) after the end of the month.

Some people have Google hold their monthly payments so they can collect it at a later date.

They simply mean, if you make more than $100 a month, it would be wise to get paid each month instead of asking Google to hold your money for another month, just in case something like this happens. If you have Google holding a lot of payments for you, you could get royally screwed if you get kicked out before you finally ask for a check.

[Penguin328]

What if you had over $100 from the past 2 months and about a week before you get your check your account is disabled. Do you still get the money from the previous months if you asked for it to be sent?

There once was a prince from a land far away,
received a message from Google and what did it say?
"We supplied you with gold and everything nice,
but you or your peasants clicked on them twice;
A click here and a click there and soon we did see,
the land over there was no place to be!"
So down came the flag, restitched with advice;
"Mess with the Google and you'll pay a big price!"

I swear I NEVER click or ask somebody to click on my ad since I placed adsense on my websites.

It's been said before but it obviously bears repeating that Google does not limit their definition of invalid clicks to "clicks I've made or instigated."

If there's something about your site that violates the TOS, perhaps unintentionally, then clicks there are invalid. Or if there are weird patterns of clicks, or if a competitor came in and started clicking like mad....

Others can give other examples. My point is that you may need to do more than just prove that you didn't do it.
