your AdSense account poses a risk of generating invalid activity
- by Karington
i received a mail from the adsense team saying:
I am not an adsense expert, im actually quite new to it.
I spent a lot of time on my site http://www.media1.rs, its a news aggregator with tons of options. In the meantime i discovered the double click service that had a good option to turn on google ads when you don't have any other running so i joined up for google adsense with my company account. Everything went smooth until one day (21.Jul.2011) i got an email...
Hello,
After reviewing our records, we've determined that your AdSense
account poses a risk of generating invalid activity. Because we have a
responsibility to protect our AdWords advertisers from inflated costs
due to invalid activity, we've found it necessary to disable your
AdSense account. Your outstanding balance and Google's share of the
revenue will both be fully refunded back to the affected advertisers.
Please understand that we need to take such steps to maintain the
effectiveness of Google's advertising system, particularly the
advertiser-publisher relationship. We understand the inconvenience
that this may cause you, and we thank you in advance for your
understanding and cooperation.
If you have any questions or concerns about the actions we've taken,
how you can appeal this decision, or invalid activity in general, you
can find more information by visiting

Sincerely,
The Google AdSense Team
At first i didn't have any idea why... but then it came to me that it was maybe the auto refresh script we had because we publish news very very often and it would be useful for visitors... but i removed it immediately after i got the mail... Then i thought it might be my friends clicking thinking that that will help me (i didn't tell them to do it and don't know if they did) or something like that but than it couldn't be that because everyone can organize 10 people and get anyone who is a start-up banned? right?
Anyway i filled out the form that was on the answers page with the previously removed script and got this from them:
Hello,
Thank you for your appeal. We appreciate the additional information
you've provided, as well as your continued interest in the AdSense
program. However, after thoroughly re-reviewing your account data and
taking your feedback into consideration, our specialists have
confirmed that we're unable to reinstate your AdSense account.
As a reminder, if you have any questions or concerns about your
account, the actions we've taken, or invalid activity in general, you
can find more information by visiting

I do understand them that they have to keep things secret in a way but i don't know what I'm supposed to do now? Is there a check list that i can go through and re-apply? Where do i re-apply on the same form?
Please help as we are a small company and cant really have a budget for hiring a specialist + don't know any also...
p.s. the current ads on the site are my own through doubleclick...
Thanks in advance!
Best,
Karington
