No More Robots!

Yesterday I recieved an e-mail from Google's Adsense division stating that I had been using some service to generate invalid clicks on my website. Therefore I was defrauding advertiseres, or something like that. They claim that I may be using robots to do this. I'm not a robot, and I don't click on my own ads, so it's not me. I guess what I'm trying to say is, Which one of you is a robot? Is it you Iceman? Or what about you guy that checked my blog from Churchill Canada? All I know is I have to ban robots from my blog. You assholes had to ruin it for everybody.

Anyway check out the e-mail.

It has come to our attention that invalid clicks have been generated on
the Google ads on your site(s). In the future, we may adjust your
payment for any days during which invalid clicks occurred in order to
properly credit advertisers for any invalid activity.

As a reminder, any method of generating invalid clicks is strictly
prohibited. Invalid clicks include but are not limited to any clicks
that are generated through the use of robots, automated clicking tools,
manual clicks by a publisher on the publisher's own web pages, or a
publisher encouraging others to click on his ads.

If you are clicking on the ads on your web pages for testing purposes,
please note that clicking on your own ads or encouraging others to do
so for any reason is prohibited, due to the potential for inflation of
advertiser costs. Please be assured that there is no need to test the
ads on your site, as our specialists review all of our ads to ensure
that they meet Google's advertising standards.


To prevent Google from being the bitch that he is please don't click on my ads more than once per visit. It really hurts me to say that, I'm getting so close to my first $100 check from Google. I'm already over $70. :(
