Google AdSense banning users from participation
Google AdSense banned me from participation in their program last summer. The resons to me are not clear but there seems to be a number of other people in the same boat. Appearntly I was banned for “fraudulent clicks” which translates into the same IP or computer system clicking on ads published by an AdSense account.
If you create an AdSense account at a public WiFi spot or a public network and someone else accesses your ads from the same network then you may appear to be generating “fradulent clicks” to Google and it wont be long until they ban you even if you did not intentionally click your ad’s. So what can someone do once they are banned from use of Google AdSense. Well according to Google they will not reinstate any previously banned accounts. Well I am banned and I plan to try and get unbanned from the program. I will be posting about it here to keep anyone interested up to date on my progress.

My advice is to keep your correspondence professional and just be persistent. I had Blogger delete a dozen blogs I was developing last year and it took many many e-mails with a lot of detailed information and also a lot of repeated plain english before a real person even looked at my legitimate content and reinstated me. I lampooned the whole thing on my own domain, and had to retract a bit of it after they made things right.
