Adsense Ban Account After 1 Click?

[zeroacid]

Recently my friend registered his adsense account and he has some sites already on live; therefore, he put his adsense code in the site. After few days, he got some adsense click and adsense send him an email claiming that is invalid clicks and ban his account. So, adsense is not expecting a new account to earn money that fast??

Any idea?

I really don't think this might be the case. Google tracks your adsense clicks and your IP location.
So one example that can lead to an adsense account to banned easily is when somebody share his website url. May it be through email, chats or whatever so as to get clicks and an earn an easy buck.
That is why sometime people will send you a site with their adsense in a form that is not trackable or in hypertext. e.g check out mywebsite (dot) com

I don't know what happened to yours but G is always keen on new approved accounts.

Interesting idea. Google treat most of publishers fairly(Indian and Chinese are two exceptions, I don't know why), so why not ask your friends check his website first? Many guys didn't pay attention to Adsense TOS after they get approved. You must understand that if you want to play the game, you should know the rules first. Good luck!

I think this is easy to understand that you should avoid click-yourself-adsense. Google can track and realize the IP. So careful or you will be banned intentionally.

Well, Google is VERY sensitive about all Adsense receiving clicks, especially if it happens in the first few days.

There are some ways they can detect this:

1. Your site is not ranking well in any search engine (most new sites aren't) and you start receiving clicks.

2. You do not have enough visitors and you receive clicks.

3. You receive click from the same IP as where you add or modify your website.

Any of the above scenario will trigger Google Adsense ban.

If you got banned from adsense just after a few clicks then its really bad luck, but google has been very harsh lately, paying less and also banning a lot of sites for no apparent reason..any ways there are other great networks switch to them..

Thanks all for such valuable comments....

My friend site is basically ranking 1st page in Google and maybe it is about "brand names" and that's why he got very high CTR. Yeah I asked him to stop using the adsense as I heard from many people claiming that their adsense account go ban all in sudden (especially the new accounts).

True, it is very bad luck for him as he just started with adsense.. haha..

Thanks guys....

I believe google has very powerful analytic tools to be able to determine where your clicks are coming from, your traffic volume and all that sort.
You friend must just have break some of those rules and got penalized, like clicking on his own link, or links being clicked from the same location he is based in, or clicks for products not directed for that location.
The reasons are just unlimited.

Only invalid clicks can cause your adsense account got banned.
