Why do you think they should ban you?

No reason to ban you unless you break the rules.

You cannot judge a site by number of pages or anything quantifying like that.

Nothing wrong with an x-factor type site. Nothing.

I'd be willing to bet that the income generated by these type
of sites makes up a decent chunk of google revenue.

Sites get banned for breaking rules, not being mini.
Granted, being "micro" can sometimes be seen in and of itself
as breaking the rules. But it's not.

Now any "sandbox" is a different animal than adsense TOS.

I got the message too on my site which has disappear from Google ranking. So that means they are asking me to place adsense on my low traffic site. It used to have good traffic.

I think I got the same message some time ago

I also received the same message for one of my website. But I this is just a system generated message no human review involved. I think they may have found out that a large number of publishers are not placing the allowed number of ad units on their pages and may be they want to alert everyone so that we both (Google and publishers) benefit from more number of ad units on our pages.

I think the people who complain about this banning issue either they dont know what they are doing or they are outlaws.

Or its just robotically done and that's an automated email that everyone gets when they don't place up to 3 ad units on their websites or pages.

Because I got the exact same email as the OP a few years ago...

But, definitely no reason for you to get banned. Just place more ad units on the site and make more money like they want you to. lol

I received an email from Google too. Not that one. It was a coupon for Adwords and YAHOO put it in my SPAM folder! Hilarious!

Its an automated email.. I received it many times already...

How come they mention a heatmap in the email? how did they heatmap your site?
