I'm not fond of Google Adsense and I wont be advocating for this service. A very simple reason as to why.
I applied for adsense in december 05 and added in the code to my blog as specified. After a few days, the records show that there are people clicking on my ads and I earned $10 dollars for just putting on codes for about 3 days alone.
I was pleasantly surprised.
I was also amazed at how with the addition of adsense, my traffic spiked up from 100 visitors a day to 400. It was very curious, but I left it to that. After all, if I have more clicks, I'd get more moolah. I'm not complaining.
Guess what happened after a week.
My account was disabled. An email was sent to me that I had 'invalid clicks' - clicks from the same IP address over and over again.
Admittedly, I do click a few advertisments that I thought was interesting and which I was curious to know about. But I didnt think that it was justifiable for my entire account to be disabled.
It wouldnt be possible for me to click on my ads for like 400 times a day.
And think about it, if you are malicious enough, you can disable someone's adsense by clicking on it multiple times. Google adsense wouldnt care. They see "oh, too many invalid clicks, time to disable this account"
I'm not the only one.
There are many other disgruntled people too.
