I knew someday something would happen to my account.
Today I got the oh-my-god-so-feared email from Google. My account is suspended because of “invalid clicks”. Okay, my AdSense revenue was low. I mean, very low. But I didn’t use invalid clicks whatsoever. I didn’t pay anyone to click on the ads and I didn’t ask for clicks as you can see. However, only one thing is surely going to happen and that is: death. So today I died on the AdSense platform.
It seems like a big loss, in a first move. I lost $60 and that hurts a bit. But I was already moving in another direction and now it looks like it was the right thing to do. My profits from other types of online activities have been going up and I’ve already recovered half of that loss just tonight. I’m probably moving to AdBrite for random PPC ads and I’m introducing MarketLeverage too now.
Support for this blog has been great and I’ll continue to work on it! Long live IReviewYou.com!

Anything can happen in blogging. The point is how you take yourself forward! Try to test some new programs on your blog and use the one which suits most. Thanks.

Firstly, sorry to hear about the adsense.
2ndly, how you manage to get $30 in one night?
Can you share with me your new direction?

Sorry to hear that, especially if you are indeed not doing the clicking by yourself or trying to cheat the system :{

I wasn’t even recieving clicks. How could I even get invalid clicks?! Oh well…

Wow, it seems everything is possible. I really fear paranoid now, when I read your story. I would never click my own ads because the risk is too great and I am depending on AdSense.
It really sucks that you got banned for doing nothing.
