Yes, I got that oh-so-dreaded email from Google, saying that invalid clicks were generated from my site. So someone was crewing around on my website, and because of that, they rip $130 of earnings right out from under me? The email stated they would be returning my earnings to advertisers, but I seriously doubt they have the technology to track every click to every advertiser over the last 3 months....over 50,000 page impressions. After doing some searching on the internet, I have come to find out that the Adsense/Adwords "teams" are VERY secretive about the way they run their business and have many times been accused of "having too much power and not enough responsibility." NO KIDDING!! The earnings were fast and easy, but obviously it's because they pick & choose who they're going to pay and whose earnings they're going to keep. A word of advice: DON'T JOIN GOOGLE!! They SUCK!
So sorry about you finding out what many of us have known for years.However,the very fact that I am reading this here as a member of Ideal traffic,proves Google was within their rights.Belonging to this or any other similar exchange is a violation of the TOS of all ad agencies,Bidvertiser included. Also Bidvertiser as excellent IP tracking and if I click ad,and then another bidvertiser ad any where today,every click is automatically"tagged"for manual investigation.That is why I advise everyone to use at the minimum 2-but prefer 3,sources of ads on every page. You can't go wrong with Adbrite but for much higher pay pick Alternate URLs
