tell your friend not to annoy them by spamming their inbox.. lol. I sent a reinstatement to them once, it took about a week or more for them to reply. Well, even though they said. .very nicely that.. they will not reinstate my account because they take invalid clicks very seriously. Wasn't really my false, since my friends thought it would make me money by clicking on it =(. Oh well. =P

I don't think Google goes around banning people simply for the sake of it, nor do I think that they kick out genuinely good publishers. If you are earning decent money via AdSense, then it is in Google's best interests to keep you on as a publisher - they obviously earn x amount for every click made, of which a percentage is paid to you, so if you are sticking to the rules and bringing in generous traffic, they aren't going to terminate your account just so they can keep the few dollars you've earned. I think the majority of people that get banned and then complain about it either did infact do something wrong, whether or not it was intentional. Of course, there are exceptions, and some would probably have been banned unfairly - but Google is out to make money, and they don't do that by removing publishers from their program who perform well.

I think the best way to do it is to admit error, offer to conpensate for losses, and show your commitment to the program.

I've just recently emailed Google because I've been recieving oddly, more clicks than normal. I don't want them to think that I cheat. So far, I've NEVER clicked my own ads, and I don't even dare mouse over them, incase I click by accident.

@OpaQue though true its odd hearing it from you. best thing you can do is correspond with them if they are not reasonable and 100% of the time they are not just find some other. i seen a few websites with the google adsense horror stories they even have this site mind by the looks of it just started so the stories should build up soon http://www.googleadsensesucks.com/ of course i searched in google and found a few sites about google adsense horror stories, meh when i make a site worth putting ads on then maybe i will sign up for it.

Well this is very good topic , and actually i really agree that google is nto doing good.its not good that they gets money from avertisers & publishers do alot of efforts to make it popular and when its time to pay back to the publisher, they simply say that they have right to do everything.....i never used this ad sense or anything else but one of my friend , he was saying that he has victom of this thing.anyway i believe that there are many other good companies for ads also, dont you think so?

I think it's very safe. Google's staff is very friendly towards any problems you might have (at least for me). Just sign up, don't break the TOS, and try it. It doesn't hurt to try it, they won't charge you money or anything.

Depends. Is your site getting decent unique visitors (more than 500 a day). If your site is new, and you're only getting 10-100 uniques (mostly from friends), then I don't think it's worth your while to invest in adsense. Wait until your site is getting a good amount of traffic (preferably from search engines), then sign up. Why? If you're getting the same visitors everyday, then those people will develop something called "ad blindness" where they will eventually shut out your ads from their view. When you go to a site over and over again, don't you agree that you stop noticing their ads after a while? And if people don't click your ads, your click through rate will decrease, and your total earnings will decrease overall since that depends on your CTR.
