Since so many people complaint that they are getting banned from AdSense. At the same time, Google claim to be return those affected fund to advertisers. Just curious, can anyone here is also an AdWords advertiser share about this? Did you notice any refund from Google?

    To get refund, you have to cancel your account and you must be a "prepay advertisers". If only you are a prepay advertiser you can request a refund from google.

    Yes, they do refund on a regular basis for clicks that have been deemed to be invalid.

        Yes! Basically every month the bill is recalculated. So if you paid say $500 for clicks, after the recalculation there is usually a refund because of invalid clicks. It has not been much for me personally! The most was like a couple dollars but I am sure it would be more for advertisers whose ads appeared on a site where the Adsense account was later banned.

        I can assure you Google are not pocketing the money they say they are refunding their advertisers.

    Sorry, what I mean is refund or credit back to your account due to banned adsense accounts.

    Yes, I had some clicks refunded, and quite a large amount at that.

    Also advertisers can see which sites their ads appear on. 40% of the sites my ads were on were junk. You have been warned!
