Adsense Account Disabled - What the hell?

[stickycarrots]

I received this e-mail today from Google:

Hello Luke Kling,

Your AdSense account was found to be related to an account previously
disabled for invalid click activity and we have therefore disabled your
account. 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.

As outlined in our program Terms and Conditions, Google reserves the
right to terminate any publisher's participation at any time.

Sincerely,

The Google AdSense Team

A) I've never had an AdSense account (just turned 18).
B) What the hell.
C) That's all you can tell me?

I read recently that they ban everyone with the last name Kling. Tough luck man.

That or they just choose random accounts to ban. Maybe it was my grandma Kling's blog. Old people...I tell ya...

time to start that company or llc you have always been meaning to start

I'll just some Clicksor (not on my blog) instead. They actually have decent rates and I like that you can transfer your publisher earnings to advertise. I'm going to try to get my AdSense back though.

Of course, there's always YPN as well.

it's been rumored that adsense bannings like this are only happening to small time publishers...

the bigger earners just get warning letters (or nothing at all).

i have yet to see an example where this is NOT the case.



edit: oh wait - you never even signed up with adsense? ... wtf? (fraud maybe?)
