They banned my account (I only put ads on my forum). It's their policy to not tell you why it's banned. They don't say more than "invalid activity." I searched it and found that countless others have had the same problem. For all I know someone purposely tried to get us banned and clicked the ads a lot.

Google took all of my revenue from the last 3 months too. It really messed my forum up financially.

Have any of you have the same experience? What do you use for ads?
 
Yep. I've had an account banned for "Invalid Clicks". Only lost about 100$ in revenue though. But now with a new account, we've got 300$+ but they've suspended Ad Service to our account because we haven't verified the pin. And we haven't verified the pin because it hasn't been sent, even though we've requested it twice. That's Big Business for you, though. Punishing you for their own mistakes.

I wouldn't recommend Adsense to anyone unless that's the only decent Ad company they can get into.

I don't think there's anything wrong with big businesses in general. Some just suck more than others. I'm not really sure what ads to use now though. AdSense is kind of the standard, you know? Maybe that's why they suck so much... they have room to suck because so many people use them.

That's what I mean by Big Business.
 
Not had issue with them yet. I've avoided anything that could risk their rules. So far with almost two years of using them, I've earned a few hundred dollars and not had even the slightest problems.

I've avoided anything that could risk their rules too. I would have said the same thing as you two weeks ago. You could be next!
 
There was a change about Flash banners that might have affected a lot. At the end of the day, if they keep banning publishers, they'll end up with none...
 
they banned my account for the same reason but I got around that lol made a new website transfered all my files over removed the google account from my vbulletin made a new one added it to vbulletin again download files and updated only way i could get it to work again but remember never click the ads they will log your ip and they will know it is you
 
you would be surprised how many owners do and when there account is closed they get pissed off as they don't understand as alot never read the rules
