Have had adsense on my website for a while but got this message in an email recently- "It has come to our attention that invalid clicks or impressions have
been generated on your Google ads". I have clicked on an add i think twice by mistake, but read their policy and it says it puts up with some accidentel clicks. The problem i think is where i get my traffic. Recently i have joined a few traffic helper sites, traffic swarm, ilovehits, royalsurf, traffic punks. I've been pleased with the results although i do realise most people won't click anything. Is this what the problem is? There is no incentive for them to click on google ads, unless they r interested, i have contacted google adsense but haven't heard from them.

The adsense terms state that you aren't allowed to use anything that artificially inflates your traffic.

The traffic networks could be the issue. Seems like the likely think anyway. They're not particularly useful in general since most people are only visiting in order to get credits for visits back to themselves.

The networks are more a way to inflate your stats. Things look good based on the numbers, but all that's really happening is the numbers are masking any problems your site might have and keeping you from discovering those problems and fixing them.

Did you get banned from AdSense or did they just give you a warning?

just a warning and i sent them an email, they may ban me before the response, lol. Shame i can't have both adsense and increased traffic, although i realize what you say is true haven't had much success with getting traffic through search engines. thnx 4 reply.

Glad to help. Hopefully you don't get banned, but I would stop using the traffic networks for a variety of reasons. They sound much better than they actually are.

Are they good at all? NEVER participate in traffic exchange sites.

Its the traffic networks, there is a certain percentage ratio between impressions and click which you must maintain. so if you are getting a lot of visitors and little clicks ith google. puts up a flag wit
