Well, as many innocent folks out there, I have been banned by Google AdSense for over a month and a half now under the rule of invalid clicking. What sort of company does this? Lifetime ban without providing information such as which website of mine was the source? Which day? Neither did they request any information eventhough i opened my arm wide open, offering full server access.

I have been a publisher since 2004 and wow from running a forum under a free forum provider into a self dedicated hosted. Over the years i have grown into a mass publisher, running numbers of website and publish them through AdSense. Revenues goes as high as $700 per/mon and for no reason, my work are all wiped forcing me to sell all the site due to the overdue server fee that i can no longer support. Im just a college kid? What can i do? Go legal? I dont have the money! Till today, with no site remaining, im still mailing them! Im still not giving up and face some life sentence for something i've not done!

Invalid clicks is a "catch all" term that they use, but it does not always mean that the publisher cheated. It can mean anywhere from clicking on your own ads, labeling the ads other than those allowed, inciting visitors to support the site and click on the ads, etc.

It will not be up to Google to prove to you how they caught what they deemed as fraudulent clicks on your site. They will not show you the IPs of those who clicked. Instead, explain to them in a very professional manner that you never caused invalid clicks and send them your logfiles to help prove your case.
