Can other people have you shut down?

I am convinced that other's can get your account shut down if they have a reason to be mad at you.

It would be simple to click on the Adsense Ads over and over and then Google would see the same IP address clicking your ads over and over again then BAM you are shut down! you too can test my theory by clicking on one AdSense Ad and tell what you experienced.

I've heard of this happening on the blog site that I use. There has been about five or six people that have had their accounts shut down when they have neared the payout mark and google have said that people have repeatedly clicked on the ads which is why they have closed the account down. Hope this doesn't happen to me.

I heared somewhere that google now detects the fraudent clicks and the chance of getting banned because someone just hates you is less. If a person is clicking on your ads agin and again it will be detected and these clicks will not be recognized.

Problem is that it’s up to the publisher to prove that they are innocent, and that can be very hard to do. I only wish that they can ban sites that are affected instead of banning the whole account…that’s assuming that the publisher is truly honest.

Convincing Google that it was not your fault varies from difficult to impossible. Once your account has been closed, you are not permitted to apply for another account ever again.

I heard of one guy who was so worried about this problem that he checked his own visitor stats every day and contacted Google whenever anything looked even remotely suspicious, just to protect himself.

Yes , this way if some one is repeatedly clicking on your ads then it might be very dangerous and obviously can lead to cancellation of your account .I have seen people on social networking websites forming groups to click on each others websites so i think that is a very sureshot way of telling google to have a look at your account and shut it down .
