I was interested about google ads on my website, but it seems like a trap for people, because I already had it and when I was isnstalling them (ads) on the website I did not know exactly what happen, is the hast server I was using has automatic clicks on ads or what? then when I logged to my account they said your account as closed, I kept writing to them they did not get my account back. I tried hard to explain the situation, but they told me that we cant reactivate you account. Then I opened another accout, and when I started using it, they wrote me back and said Oh you cant use this accout because we detected that you had another acount and was closed for bad clicks.

Yea im worried my account will be closed... I've had it for a while and i've used it on and off. I think I'm going to stick with adbrite.

With adsense ive gone through quite a few sites when I was a beginner, and I haven't used it with any of my more popular sites i've worked on. So, I think I will through the ads up for a week or so just to get the payut amount and see if I ever get a cheque from them. Already at $80.

Being conspiracy theorist/hobbyist, I have a hunch...

I suspect that Google will, as much as possible, rip off their customers. If there is a blatant/glaring "proof" that someone was cheating AdSense, they'd descend like furious furies and rip the 3@||s off the "cheater", like what they did to unys. Not that I'm saying he's a cheater 'coz, as he explained, his server generated automated clicks on his ads.

On the other hand, if you are like 9block, who have been cautious around AdSense, they'd probably let it go on. As a matter of fact, if I were Google, I'd let them earn up to $90 or so. Finally, when the unsuspecting user jiggles with anticipation of his/her first hundred dollars, AsSense will close their account for due to some "evidence" they have already gathered early on. In other words, they'd close down the account only shortly before a hundred dollars when they could have already done so in the first few twenties or thirties. In effect, they'd be advertising on the poor guy's (or gal's) site for free!

Then again, that's just my suspicious nature manifesting itself. I'm not willing to bet on something like that (unless it was against Tsunade-sama ) but I do believe Google is taking advantage of its AdSense publishers just. like. that.

What do you guys think?

I think so too, google shoud send a warning message to the publishers or take away from them the money that was made during that month when they make sure that was illegally clicks, before they close it.

The problem with Google Adsense is that if you have your ctr rate above 5% they probably shut down your account, because they say you have invalid trafic (autosurfers, ptc) or invalid clicks. All you have to do is keep on looking into you ctr and try to keep it between 3 and 4% that way you are safe.
