This last week was probably the worst for me with Adsense since I started
using their advertising system last year. The reason for it is that my earnings
have dropped to almost none after taking the adsense code from my highly
earning sites - the proxy network of mine.

“Why did she do that”, you might ask yourself, “Has she lost her Adsense
account and is she banned”? The answer to these questions is “No”. My
account hasn’t been banned. Not as, yet. What I did get though is one
of the warning emails Adsense is sending to their publishers when fraudulent
clicks have been tracked within the sites of this account.

These emails do not provide with any info whatsoever regarding which site
had these invalid, or fraudulent clicks. Adsense simply tells you the following
(quoted from their email):It has come to our attention that invalid clicks or
impressions have been generated on the Google ads on your site(s) through
users of third-party programs paid or, provided with other incentives to visit
your site. Such programs include, but are not limited to auto-surf, pay-to-surf,
pay-to-read, or pay-to-click sites.

They are telling everyone that due to their proprietary algorithm they cannot
disclose any details about how our monitoring technology works or what specifics
they have found on your account.

This is puzzling to me as what could the disclosure of which site the invalid clicks
have been tracked on has to do with their algo? I wasn’t asking how their algo
works, I only asked on which site(s) were the invalid clicks tracked. However the
problem is - they do not disclose any info leaving us with no other choice but to
take their Adsense code from every site you think this might have happened on.

On various forums this problem has been discussed all over, and many of the
webmasters receiving such warning email have been banned already. Read this
thread on proxy.org’s forum.
You could read also this blog post of a fellow proxy webmaster Mubin, which is giving valuable advice for people new in the proxy webmastering.

As I said earlier, my Adsense income has dropped to almost none and I can only
hope this issue with the botnets will be solved soon so that the Adsense code
could be displayed again on the proxies. And I will keep you updated about the
answer that I am expecting from Adsense.

Wishing you a nice week ahead and to do mostly useful things
