I had a few websites using AdSense, one of which was important, the others weren't so much.<p>I made the mistake of explaining how AdSense and internet ads worked to a friend and they decided to go onto my website and click everything, thinking they were doing me a favour. Of course, this wasn't doing me any good!<p>When I noticed what had happened I emailed Google to explain but my AdSense account was removed and I'm banned.<p>Trying to resolve the situation is like talking to a brick wall that only replies in template emails.<p>I understand their policy for people who think they can make quick money fraudulently, this is not my intention. I'm trying to build a business and it's important I'm using AdSense.<p>Does anyone have any ideas on how to get back in Google's good books? I've read around and it seems there isn't an easy way but surely there is something I can do?
#1 - Never call the cops on yourself.<p>#2 - File an appeal <a href="https://www.google.com/adsense/support/bin/request.py?contact=invalid_clicks_appeal" rel="nofollow">https://www.google.com/adsense/support/bin/request.py?contac...</a><p>Good luck.
I did file an appeal but got exactly the same template email, after that, they never replied.<p>It does state in the T&C's somewhere that you have to tell them about it and advice on net suggested you should do the same, maybe I shouldn't have paid attention to that!
