Google just sent me an email stating they have just deactivated my adsense account. According to Google I had invalid clicks. Well, I've been self employed for many years in off line advertising and I know better to click on my own ads. A few months ago, I decided to join GDI, Global Domains International. where you can have a top level domain, website, hosting and a payplan. Ok, makes sense to me. Anyone really wants to make money on the net, needs a website. So, why not go with GDI. Anyway, I have several members in my downline. I've been helping them get there website up. So, I get them to join Google Adsense. After all, Google does have a referral program that will pay you a $100.00 bonus if any referrals makes $100.00 with in the first 180 days, plus eveyone that downloads the Google Pack Google will pay $3.00 for every download. So, here I ok, helping my team get set up on the right track with some good tools to make additional revenue. Now, I was well aware of never to tell anyone to click on the Google Ads, but I wasn't aware or at least at the time I read the TOS where it stated you can advertise all the google features and referral buttons, but you can not direct traffic to the refferal buttons. I've read many post in forums and others about how Google will close an account in a heart beat. I've been very cautious of protecting my Adsense account. So, based on the number of hits and sign ups , approvals for new adsense members, raised a red flag to my account. Then I instantly appealed the notice as I was going over my emails. Within about 20 minutes I receive a reply that my account was re-reviewed and they stand correct of invalid clicks. I keep track of my stats and no way I had invalid clicks. But, they also sent me a link of the TOS. I go re-read the TOS and It now states that you are not allowed to direct anyone to join adsense. So according to the TOS I have beat my own self out of my earnings and my adsense account for helping others get approved for google adsense.
