#2>Google closing AdSense accounts with no explanation
Well, the original headline here seems to be a fear-mongering fabrication unrelated to the article.
One account was closed and the guy can't figure out why. In fact, this isn't even new information. Google closes suspicious AdSense accounts. Is there some conspiracy out there Google has a number generator choosing to ruin someone's revenue source at random?

#3Google adsense support and appeals has always had problems, it seems if you're disabled your chances of getting any sort of support are non-existent and I assume this post is an attempt to get the issue seen by people at google (I hope it works).
On the topic of their "secret" detection, it doesn't work well. In 2007 when I was in high school an acquaintance had a web page with google adverts on, there was no content beyond what came with a free template he downloaded. Every day he would arrive at school, login to the computer system and click an advert on his website, he would then go home and do the same, he would also contact other people from school via instant messengers and have them do the same, it became some what of a ritual for him. He was making $100 per month from what I recall and this went on for a while. This is the sort of abuse that should be detected very easily; abuse from the same IPs with a set pattern and yet it never was... I have no confidence in a system that can't detect this sort of abuse.

How is saying that his AdSense account was closed without an explanation? That's exactly what happened.

The title explicitly says "accounts".

#6Now a days these cases have become more and more. Accounts from Pakistan and India top the list...even genuine guys account gets disabled. Google says: your account is "posing a significant risk to our AdWords advertisers"...as if we are running behind his customer with a gun or knife.

#7It's worth noting that the guy linked here whose AdSense was turned off is Jef Poskanzer, one of the grand old Unix hackers. You may know him from such things as pbmplus, thttpd, and two USENIX Lifetime Achievement Awards.

School's not a bad place to do this sort of fraud since there is a lot of legitimate traffic on the same network. That said it should still be pretty simple to flag accounts that have had a majority of clicks from a very small set of IPs.

To be fair, 2007 was 5 years ago.
