General Business: I'm A Rebel...I Got Banned From Adsense

I took down Adsense from Blogtrepreneur.com after the new redesign, and so knew that I havn't been really earning that much (if anything) from Google. Anyway, I went to check and I couldnt log into my account - weird!

I then check my Outlook to find this charming piece of prose:

It has come to our attention that invalid clicks and/or impressions
have been generated on the Google ads displayed on your site(s).
Therefore, we have disabled your Google AdSense account. Please
understand that this was a necessary step in order to protect the
interest of the AdWords advertisers.

A publisher's site may not have invalid clicks or impressions on any
ad(s), including but not limited to clicks and/or impressions generated
by:

- a publisher on his own webpages
- a publisher encouraging others to click on his ads
- automated clicking programmes or any other deceptive software
- a publisher altering any portion of the ad code or changing the
layout, behaviour, targeting or delivery of ads for any reason

These or any other such activities that violate Google AdSense Terms
and Conditions and programme polices may have led us to disable your
account. The Terms and Conditions and programme polices can be viewed
at:

https://www.google.com/adsense/localized-terms?hl=en_GB
https://www.google.com/adsense/policies?hl=en_GB

Publishers disabled for invalid click activity are not allowed further
participation in AdSense and do not receive any further payment. The
earnings on your account will be properly returned to the affected
advertisers.

If you feel that this decision was wrong and can maintain in good faith
that the invalid activity was not due to your actions or negligence or
those of the people that you are responsible for, such as employees and
family members, you may appeal against the closing of your account. To
do so, please contact us only through this form:

http://www.google.com/support/adsense/bin/request.py?contact=invalid_clicks_appeal&hl;=en_GB

If Google decides to evaluate your appeal, we will do our best to
inform you quickly and will proceed with the appropriate action as
necessary. If we have reached a decision on your appeal, subsequent or
duplicate appeals may not be considered.

Yours sincerely,

The Google AdSense Team

Dunno how on earth this could have happened, no words.

And so the appeal procedure starts, the buggers owe me $40!

I think you're screwed buddy. It happens to all of us (sooner or later)

Different email
Different address (get a po box maybe)
Different website

Thats all i changed and i got accepted again.

Thats if you ever need to use it again, there is far better ways to make money.
