Someone clicked on on my ads for six times in half an hour. I sent an e-mail to google reporting this. Was that a bad move?
I just began AdSens and it works very well for me, I dont want to lose my account.

Probably not necessary, but you won't be terminated for an unnecessary email. The consensus here is that people do NOT get terminated for the occasional click-happy visitor--Google simply deletes the clicks from your account.

You did nothing wrong their is no reason why they should ban you.

1. He found alot of ur ads appealling and wanted to check them all out.
2. He knows that ads help out a site so wanted to help you out.
3. You happened to have 6 people click around the same time.

Things I can think of.

I one day got double the clicks i usually get. I don't get alot of clicks I didn't email them or anything I just kinda looked on these forums and saw what other people were talking about when others get the same type of thing when people get click happy. So I didn't really worry about it beacuse like I said above I did nothing wrong I shouldn't be punished for something I didn't do. The same way other people think its been 3-4months and everythign has been fine.

When i started tracking clicks, I was pretty aghast at the "patterns" in the clicking, repeated clicking on the same ads, or bursts of clicking on multiple ads from a single IP. But whilst I have reported one set of oddities to adsense I have been trying to come to terms with the fact, that this simply must be the way it goes.
If people like your site, I suspect that whether you suggest it or not, you will get some people clicking to support you :( and you may even see what I can only think of as "obsessive compulsive" clicking on single ads.
If you know you are "clean" then I think there is little alternative, but to trust the fact the google must have seen it all, and know how to spot real rogues.
I rationalised myself that in the case of my sites.

1) The weird single advert clickers I get, are not benefiting me anyway, as the single click one IP, one advert, rule comes into play.
2) The other more suspect clicks I do benefit a little from, are such a small percentage of the overall clicks, that google must realise that it would be crazy for anyone to risk their account for such a small amount in relation to the whole.
