Heres another opinion on adsense as weve been discussing for the last few days From

The nonsense about AdSense
Benjamin Cohen, the former teenaged dot.com millionaire, has run into a problem as he tries to make his next million: Google won’t pay him for ads run on his website
Google AdSense lies at the heart of Google’s advertising empire. AdSense ads are the funny little text boxes that are scattered across the internet, displaying links related to the content on a web page. For many sites, AdSense has become the sole source of income, with some small one man band publishing outfits claiming to make in excess of $100,000 through showing the adverts. AdSense also amounts to some 43 per cent of Google’s total revenue.
However, my own experience of the program has been less than favourable.

From day one, I integrated Google AdSense adverts on to PinkNews.co.uk. It instantly provided advertising that was both relevant to my readers and that fitted into the context of the website. In addition, I was able to weed out advertisers that I didn’t want my brand to be associated with, such as pornography and dating.
Sure enough, a couple of months later, a cheque for a couple of hundred pounds arrived from Google, which was duly banked and the funds cleared. So far, so good.
But a couple of days later, I was informed by e-mail that my AdSense account had been terminated due to “click fraud”, and that I would receive no further payments and be unable to use Google’s advertising products again.
Click fraud is where people or programs – automated robots, or ‘bots – click on your to an advertising link in an attempt to defraud either or both the advertiser and Google. Click fraud experts tend to run up huge levels of traffic, generating thousands of clicks and each may cost a particular advertiser in excess of £10,000.
Care to comment? how do you manage your adsense account? how do you feel about Google using your data? Read the great post by Hamlet.?

I just put it up and let it go. I just have text ads, and I look at them every now and again to make sure they aren’t crazy. I make about $400 a year from AdSense. Not a lot, but it pays for our eating out.
I heard a similar story from a blogging friend of mine whose nephew was clicking away on her ads to “help” her out. She’s now banned from google which kind of sucks because her blog is now very successful. I have google ads on my personal blog and I gotta tell you, I’m a little paranoid about it. I find myself constantly telling people I know, “DON’T CLICK THE ADS” because I’m scared I’ll be banned. But, isnt clicking the ads the whole point? UGH.
Thanks for the comments guys. I also have click paranoia. Sometimes on my blogs.

I see an ad, and want to know what it’s about but resist.
Clicking can get you banned!

Moneypenny:
I applaud you for taking Accion against Google’s adsurdities. While I can certainly Adwords to the discussion, I doubt I can Adsense… for I, too, hadve ogled the ogre Google and had the same EXACT experience as Ben Cohen except that I am not teenaged, not a millionaire, and gained, not earned, a couple hundred pounds while on Google.
Can I take my moon trip prize in cash? If not, you can give it to Hamlet Batista… the writer I would love to introduce to my niece Ophelia Castro.
