The earnings on your account will be properly returned to the affected advertisers.
So far for the Google ads…
How did that happen? :/
Pretty stupid they don’t say which one of those rules was violated…
I think they discoverd the fact that I clicked the ads myself every day.. from home and from the office…. I mean I cerntainly didn’t violate the last two rules.
They didn’t mention children in the house clicking out of parental control. Did you check?
Hmmm, maybe I’ll have to check my router logs! God knows what a modern baby alarm (=babyfoon) with 2.4Ghz bi-directional communication is capable of in the hands of the new generation!
