How to get owned... for free!

Sorry I missed the free Friday for those of you who are keeping up with this, but I recently got shut down big time and the wounds haven't quite healed since. Im just kidding, I really don't care and actually had a laugh myself upon receiving the email listed below. It's been fun but I'm not sure I'll keep up with this thing now, knowing that there isn't money in it anymore but maybe I'll post from time to time out of sheer boredom. Thanks to everyone who has supported me and help to get the word out about this blog.

"Hello,

After reviewing our records, we've determined that your AdSense account poses a risk of generating invalid activity. Because we have a responsibility to protect our AdWords advertisers from inflated costs due to invalid activity, we've found it necessary to disable your AdSense account. Your outstanding balance and Google's share of the revenue will both be fully refunded back to the affected advertisers.

Please understand that we need to take such steps to maintain the effectiveness of Google's advertising system, particularly the advertiser-publisher relationship. We understand the inconvenience that this may cause you, and we thank you in advance for your understanding and cooperation.

If you have any questions or concerns about the actions we've taken, how you can appeal this decision, or invalid activity in general, you can find more information by visiting

Sincerely,

The Google AdSense Team"


The only insight I can offer is that one day I went to my school's computer lab and logged on from 4 different computers and clicked the Ads each time haha. This gave me over $16 in one day and they must have been able to find out somehow. Oh well, it's been fun and the feedback has been positive so I suppose this wasn't a complete waste of time. And Google did deposit $1.05 into my bank account so I could confirm it with them. Now if I can just turn that into $100 I'd be all set...
