I just flipped through a forum when I stumbled upon a case where his adsense account is banned for fraud clicking eventhough he claimed he didnt do anything that constitutes Adsense TOS infringement. This is one of the most undesirable scenario that has been plaguing the Adsense publishers community, and as usual Adsense leaves the publishers with no empty spaces to clarify or even correct the mistakes. At least, it should show some mercy, maybe by providing ticketing system to sort this out, but obviously this kind of measure will open new loopholes to the crooks to take advantage of this system. This is something that Adsense don't want to afford.
A lot of new publishers swarming into Adsense system daily and the ban of some "small" publishers (like me too) wont affect the Adsense reputation among its competitors. The bottom line is, don't put all your eggs in one basket. Instead of sticking to Adsense why not try newly emerging Pay Per Click programs. Most of them provides lower minimum payment which is highly favoured by many small publishers. Here is some list that comes across my mind. I will update later as my tiredness does not permit me to roam the internet much longer.
1. AdGenta
2. CrispAds
3. Text Ads Link
4. Bidvertiser
5. Peak Click
6. Ad Center
7. Yahoo! Publisher Network
For mftwck69, I hope your determination will not be deterred by this "little" hitch, as who knows, you might fry bigger fish soon. All the best mate!

Just got banned by AdSense for making too much money on Feb 19, 2008. All websites that we had were generic business websites and everything was legal. Google Adsense’s email indicated a ‘bad business model’. Our translation is ‘We are paying you too much money’. Go figure. We had been up and running for over a year until our websites were getting noticed by Alexa.com and Google AdSense’s mysterious partners.
