OK, this is getting ridiculous

It's not a good idea to tell people (especially friends/family) your domains running Adsense. The people that don't run Adsense & here your getting paid per each click will seriously think they're helping you by click bombing your Ads.

I have no idea If that's the case here (friends/family click bombing), still your better off keeping your domains to yourself.

Thanks

All of my traffic is organic. 90% of my traffic comes from google, and the rest from other search networks. A very small percentage of my traffic comes from backlinks and referrals.

Why the heck would they ban my account? The sites all comply with ToS, and there's zero inappropriate behavior on my part. All content is 100% original. I've been running adsense on these sites since 2008.

I know for a fact my friends and family aren't even visiting my sites, let alone click bombing them.

Edit: Does anyone else who has established websites and good organic traffic with a history of decent monthly earnings experience this type of difference between their clicks earned and clicks paid? Back during the holidays (my prime months) I was getting as large as $200 adjustments to my earnings before being paid.

Thanks

Man, Google always adjust your payouts. It's been like that for me for years. The bigger your payouts are the more they take.

For me it would be an extremely low percentage of earnings, like maybe less than 0.10% earnings. I know it's a very low percentage of earnings to the point it doesn't even matter.

IMO it's probably one of two things, a click bomber or very low quality traffic that quickly bails from the advertisers web page after clicking the Adsense Ad.

Good ole Google. They love making marketers lives a nightmare. I just hope that one day another search engine rises up and is able to take a significant portion of their market share. I hate even having to rely on them for any paychecks. Especially considering they change their rules daily.

Thanks

Just to give you an idea, last month my finalized earnings were shaved off around 20% from the estimated earnings.

There are many things when it comes to invalid clicks etc.

What if you have promoted your site on forums and visitors are clicking your ads again and again, or any site where your site link is there and your ads are getting referral clicks.

For Adsense, only visitors from search engines is safe..

Thanks
