A mail from the Adsense Team

banner

A few weeks back I had mentioned about the useless traffic I was getting from the traffic exchange service -www.website-traffic.cc that someone had registered for. After returning from my break, I found a mail from the Adsense team who had detected the invalid clicks that had been generated on my Google Ads through users of the traffic exchange site.

This is what Adsense send me-

It has come to our attention that invalid clicks or impressions have been generated on the Google ads on your site(s) through users of third-party programs paid or provided with other incentives to visit your site. Such programs may include, but are not limited to auto-surf,
pay-to-surf, pay-to-read, or pay-to-click sites.

If we continue to detect invalid clicks or impressions from these services on your ads, we may disable your account to protect our advertisers.

Sincerely,

The Google AdSense Team

I replied back saying that I had nothing to do with this, but they have not responded so far. I wonder who directed this traffic to my site. I feel someone did it purposely because my friend Keith also got the same traffic and the same mail from Adsense :-(

    That’s really not cool. It’s unfortunate because if they detect it again, you’re gone and there seems to be no appealing the process (at least from what I’ve heard).

    Hey be careful with those. Use Bannage to block traffic from that site, else you might end up loosing your adsense account

    They can’t expect us to control what traffic comes to our site. better they should improve their system.
