Is your account terminated for invalid click activity in an ad network?
There will be large number of people who may have gone through this and the few ones who are innocent will be the most frustrated !. Suddenly you get a mail one morning from advertising network saying your account has been terminated. You wish to contact them but there is no way you can contact them. Even if you find one there is no reply ! If you belong to the category other than those belonging to innocents group, seriously there is nothing to discuss for you. I have seen many people seeking for advice for how they can get an unban pass from the ad network and if its not possible which are the alternatives.
Ive no plans of talking about the alternatives, so what do i want to discuss in this post? If you would ask me for alternatives i would say "google dude!", you will find a big list there thats because clever people have already written on that ;).
The base question of my discussion is "Is the method employed for account termination correct?". Basically account termination occurs when many or continuous click arrive from same ip address or a same cookie user. In many cases it would be true that in the urge of increasing their account balance the account holders themselves must have made those clicks, but what if someone else have done it. Then you may fall in the innocent category. Dont you think if your rival knows about this scheme he will surely try to destroy this income source?. what then, will your appeal for unban be accepted? No for sure, unless you have a reputed site.
I think the basis on which the accounts are terminated should be changed. If multiple clicks from same ips are encountered, the clicks shouldnt be counted so the advertisers dont have to pay for those. Im writing on this issue because i dont want to see my account getting terminated this way, when there are so many predators moving around me :P .
Surely there is no loss in this scheme right?
What do you think about this matter ?
