Default Banned from AdSense...

I was recently banned from AdSense because one of my members thought it would be helpful (although I explained to them to not do it) to use an auto-clicker on the ads. Of course, Google caught it and my account was deleted.

Now I've heard of people that were re-enstated into the program after being kicked out. How might I go about doing this?

Thanks in advance.

Funny, but I was actually looking for someone who has gone through a similar situation as myself and can give me pointers on how to email them, what to say, etc.

Just tell them the truth, you had some bonehead user shaft you and you banned them and ask for reinstatement. Also, tell them to keep all your earnings for the next 6 months.

I wasn't kicked out, but my monthly earnings were "adjusted" (to the term of about 50% less) because "I was clicking my own ads".

I got the nastygram from them, and since I was a bit irked that not only do they blindly accuse me of trying to bolster my stats, they provided no actual proof. As it turns out, my site is popular where I work (a company of over 30,000 people), and I come from a standard .mil domain, so every other .mil address that clicked an ad on my site was assumed to be me.

So I did the noble thing. I chewed them a new one, and got an apology and my full due payment. Don't back down if you feel you're in the right. You are doing their advertisers a favor in giving them ad space on your hosting. Keep that in mind.

I don't understand why they don't just limit to one click recorded per IP per day. I imagine the percentage of users who genuinely click more than once is probably > 0.1%. Think about it, how many times do you click an ad? I know I never click ads. But I realise everyone is different.

Not really on-topic I know OP, my apologies. Just needed to vent a thought lol.
