Screwed by Google AdSense

    My AdSense account has been suspended because of "invalid clicks" being generated. I didn't do this, which means some idiot came onto my website and decided to repeatedly click the ads so my account would be disabled. This louser has succeeded in having my account suspended and losing me a source of revenue from my site.

    It doesn't say much for AdSense if it can't just ignore these "invalied clicks" without having to suspened someone's account.

    Couldn't you route all clicks through a script on your site that uses a cookie or some other method to stop future clicks from that IP for a day or so.

    Yes, and they effectively told me to bugger off...

    That sucks, but I guess from the eyes of Google it's really not worth their time investigating it properly - plenty of other sites out there. If it happens once, they probably think it's likely to happen again. Still it creates bad blood. How many impressions was your website getting?

    Not too many - about 50 a day - if I could get enough revenue to pay for the domain name registration I'd be happy.
