well they are simply insane..
and as for them saying i autoclicked... well.. its a complete IMPOSSIBILITY that i myself clicked on the adsense banners on my site, because when i added the code to display the banners, i checked for the ip, so when i went into my own page, i did not see the banners... so how they would have me click the banners is beyond me..

I think that the people who have actually dealt with Google in this business relationship have reached a consensus of opinion that Google AdSense is nothing but a scam.

I think the advertisers probably disagree, since Google is coming down hard to 'support' their interests. Like I said earlier I think the fundamental concept is flawed and google need to address it but cannot because of the lack of confidence it will bring in shareholders.
Google has shareholders, a smaller number regular paying customers and clients who are it its eyes expendable since they live in a very big sea with lots of other fish.
Right now I would say you are firmly number three!
I agree you are beuing screwed, google just hope its not enough for you to take em to court. On the other hand the advertisers are paying big bucks and it is enough for em to take google to court. Shareholders? they are just fickle. |

You guys are onto something here, when you say that they do not want the system to fail. They DEPEND on this failure of the system!!
So, use their system (search engine) to eventually get enough information in order to destroy the entirety of the system. I am stressing you guys to watch a video on http://video.google.com, search for:
Money Masters
Get the one with the blue image, cause the other one ain't workin'. It's made by a guy who explains the corruption of the entire system. Watch it with your parents! In fact, bring your friends, relatives and neighbours over and crowd around the monitor, for this will shock many if it were to come out. (Note: finally not some trust unwurthy conspiracy theory, but hard facts!)
Oh al-right, here it is:

instead of paying money that they legitimately owe for real services that were actually rendered on their behalf (the legitimate click-throughs), Google has taken the stance that any instance of "illegitimate" clicks nullifies their duty to pay for any and all clicks that have ever been generated.
there is nothing honest about what they are doing. |
What google can and can't do really comes down to what the terms of use (ie the contract) says. Whether the terms of use are fair is a different question.
And about the honest part. They are honest in the terms of use when they say they can do what they are doing.

that would be meaningful if the ToS were fixed and not subject to revision on an ad hoc basis.

Hey..
I know it is late, but I only came accross this forum yesterday. I run a web design firm in Miami and just recently - for no good reason - Google cancelled my adSence account for 'alledged' invalid click or impressions. No proof was given although we asked. I was not aware of this Scam untill I did a search and found so many other 'victims'. I have dedicated a page on my website for anyone who has been defrauded in this manner, anyone who has been wrongfully accused, anyone who knows someone who has been affected by this deceitful ploy by google. Please contact us urgently as we intend to file a class action suit against them. In order for this to be successful we need a list of as many people as possible who has been affected my this scam. Please visit our site for more information. http://www.netlinkscorp.com/News.asp
Google needs to be stopped.. |

it seems that google could be brought down a peg or two but they can just say: | Quote: | | it is an automated process, we shall reimburse those 3 people and try not to do it again |

| Google may be hard to knock off their peg, but we are indeed going to try to do it. They need to be stopped. We intend to persue this lawsuit. Please help us do it. |

I'm sure there are a few people here that will help you if you ask nicely |

| my prob with adsense is that my site is almost entirely aimed at linux users and geeks... so when people come to the site it's almost guaranteed that they use adblock (i have anywhere from 70-90 firefox visits). after a week of adsense, i only had 2 impressions. |
