Invalid Click Activity Appeal

[Tayo]

My Google Adsense account was suspended almost 30 days ago and I've put in a couple of appeals, but every time they got back to me it was always that they couldn't find any invalid activity on my account.

So then why is my Adsense suspended?

After doing some research, I'm still at a loss. My account will be go active again on the 20th (Friday), but I don't want this to happen again and have my account be possibly deactivated.

I've never spent money on bots, subs, likes, clicks, etc. Basically, I've been doing the same usual stuff on my channel since I first started it a year ago, but then suddenly I got hit with "invalid click activity".

Does anyone have any ideas or tips to prevent this?

If you can log into your Adsense Account, what does it say under "Account Status"? Clicking that will give you a page which has two tabs: Site Level Violations and Policy Level Violations.

Clicking each of these will give you any violations you have in these areas.

Is your Adsense disabled, or is your YouTube Channel Monetization disabled? There is a great difference between the two.

The status says Active and it's under Account level violations. I believe it's the YouTube monetization that is disabled and not my entire Adsense account.

What exactly does it say under Account level violations? What is stated there, will be why your monetization was suspended; it should also tell you what you can change to clear up the problem.

The same thing just happened to me. I don't know if someone clicked bomb my ads or what but it's completely terrifying to think you have no true way of telling and that your revenue source can be taken down so quickly without any warning. My 30 day suspension just started today, I filed an appeal so we'll see what happens. Sure I've accidentally clicked my ads before, I'm sure we all have whether out of pure accident or simply missing the "skip ad" button on our phone/computers... but I'll be royally p****d if that is the cause of this problem from simple accidents here and there. Does anyone including Google honestly think someone is going to click their own ad a bunch of times for some pocket change?!?! Either way it is seriously discouraging to think how many of us have dreams of making YT a career and can get so screwed over so easily...

I think they respond to and problem solve much more quickly when you actually make good money, people that rely on it for income aren't being suspended for 30 days without response to their appeals

PS: fix your link

Yeah I appealed and got a reply within the hour saying there is nothing they can do about suspensions, they can only appeal disabled accounts... I don't want to sound like a baby but I'm somewhat freaking out about this. YouTube will supposedly review my account's suspension in 30 days and there's a chance they could further disable all monetization. Youtube is my passion and something I am pursuing as a future career. How is it possible for them to just rip the future of one's channels apart like that for the most insignificant reasons, WHICH BTW THEY WON'T EVER TELL YOU WHAT ACTUALLY LED TO YOUR CONSEQUENCES!! People spend so much time on theirs channels' just to have the dreams torn from them by these technicalities.. hell I just spent over $1500 on my new gaming pc build to make high quality gaming/tech videos. That will go to complete waste all because of this if they decide to disable my monetization completely. My follow up question then. IF they decide to permanently disable monetization they I'm guess that means I can't get picked up any outside Networks for monetizing?

I've moved your thread to the monetization forum.
