Well, as many innocent folks out there, I have been banned by Google AdSense for over a month and a half now under the rule of invalid clicking. What sort of company does this? Lifetime ban without providing information such as which website of mine was the source? Which day? Neither did they request any information eventhough i opened my arm wide open, offering full server access.
I have been a publisher since 2004 and wow from running a forum under a free forum provider into a self dedicated hosted. Over the years i have grown into a mass publisher, running numbers of website and publish them through AdSense. Revenues goes as high as $700 per/mon and for no reason, my work are all wiped forcing me to sell all the site due to the overdue server fee that i can no longer support. Im just a college kid? What can i do? Go legal? I dont have the money! Till today, with no site remaining, im still mailing them! Im still not giving up and face some life sentence for something i’ve not done!
I dont use that site however if its in their guidelines they can band you for of their rules you break. If you done it how can you say that you didnt do it and you are innocent?

You have to play by their rules. Best to open anouther site and email accounts, than try to set up a new account.
Or, open up a Yahoo account!!!

Invalid clicks is a “catch all” term that they use, but it does not always mean that the publisher cheated. It can mean anywhere from clicking on your own ads, labeling the ads other than those allowed, inciting visitors to support the site and click on the ads, etc.
It will not be up to Google to prove to you how they caught what they deemed as fraudulent clicks on your site. They will not show you the IPs of those who clicked. Instead, explain to them in a very professional manner that you never caused invalid clicks and send them your logfiles to help prove your case.
You have to remember that the first responsibility of Google is to satisfy their advertisers, where the money comes from; and not the publishers. They need to protect the interests of advertisers at all cost. As a result, any clicks perceived to be less than above-board are investigated oftentimes leading to the cancellation of the account of the advertiser.
There have been cases of publishers whose account was initially disabled but reinstated from the program. Here are some threads from Webmasterworld.com of such cases:

If you think you’ve exhausted all means with Google Adsense, then I suggest you start applying to other programs. You can
1. Join an advertising network. Advertising networks are organizations that aggregate Web sites that offer advertising space, and sell banner ads (and other advertising options) across them. Traffic requirement is often a minimum of 5,000 monthly impressions, although many do not accept sites hosted by free page services.

Advertising.com. http://www.advertising.com

2. Participate in other contextual advertising networks. Contextual advertising are text ads delivered based on the content of the web page using an automated system.

3. Sell advertising for your site directly. This is admittedly a more difficult route for a small business site wanting to earn advertising revenues. But hey, as they say: “no pain, no gain!”
