    Hello, my AdSense account was limited due to “invalid traffic” (although I have never ever used any kind of traffic generator). Honestly, i do not understand why, but it was in this state about a week, then started to work yesterday but after about 2h I got again the account in this situation, although no ads were displayed in frontend, I only switched to on the auto-ads feature. Now, I installed your plugin but still does not work… just do not know what to do…, I just know I did not do anything wrong.., can you help me?

  • Hi fabricantro,

    Welcome to our forum.

    AdSense may restrict ad delivery if the ad network registers unnatural clicks. These can happen both on manually placed ads and Auto Ads and can be caused, for example, by bots, malicious competitors, “helpful” friends, or the webmaster himself clicking his AdSense ads for testing.

    In this article, we have compiled essential information about invalid traffic.

    I would advise you to be patient and wait for AdSense to deliver ads again. You could ensure that you have an ads.txt and that your website is listed in your AdSense account.

    I assume that neither you nor your friends have clicked ads on your site. If they have, you should prevent that.

    Advanced Ads Pro offers a feature called Click Fraud Protection that can hide ads after a definable number of clicks from a user. This feature could be a way to protect your account when it starts serving ads again.

    Best regards,
    Joachim

    Hello,
    Thank you for the feedback! I understand what you are saying but that might apply for the first week when was suspended, but yesterday was active for about 2 hours – no ads were displayed on frontend – then got suspended again!
    Regarding the ads.txt even your plugin shows a warning that the file is missing although it is there with all the data in it!

    Hi,

    It is normal that it can take a while until AdSense starts (again) to deliver ads. I have also observed this behavior with auto ads, where it sometimes takes a while for AdSense to start delivering ads.

    AdSense does not limit an account for no reason but will have had clear indications of unnatural clicks and therefore imposed this limit again.

    I would have liked to comment on your ads.txt, but unfortunately, you didn’t include a URL of your website.

    Advanced Ads imports all notifications from your AdSense account. If you see the notice about a missing ads.txt, it can be due to several reasons:

    1. There is no ads.txt on yourdomain.com/ads.txt available.
    2. There is a recent ads.txt, and Google has not crawled it yet
    3. An ads.txt exists, but you are still using your AdSense codes on other websites without ads.txt that trigger this notification.

    Best regards,
    Joachim

    Thank you for the feedback! Regarding “ AdSense does not limit an account for no reason but will have had clear indications of unnatural clicks and therefore imposed this limit again.” – how this would be possible as long as my website did not displayed any kind of ads!??
    Website link fabricant.ro, the ad manager looks now the ads.txt is ok!

    hi,

    Unfortunately, I can’t give you clear information about what happened to your account and why AdSense limited it. Only AdSense can answer that.

    I can only share with you my observation that AdSense does not take action without reason.

    If you didn’t see ads on your page, it doesn’t necessarily mean that other users didn’t see ads either. For example, it could be that advertisers have excluded your region from their campaigns, so you don’t see ads on your site from your location, but another person from a different place may well see ads. A look at the impression reports might give you some information about this.

    Your ads.txt looks excellent now.

    Best regards,
    Joachim

    Hello,
    There there where also “0” impressions!

    I would have attached a screenshot but I can’t here! Unfortunately what you are saying are just some basics assumptions which in this case does not apply! I got limited for no reason!

    I would have complained to them but I do not even have where to complain… I am very new to Adsense but so far is one of the worst systems I got in touch with…

    Hi,

    If you think that there were no violations or unnatural clicks on your page, that’s ok. I can’t assess that, but only share my experience that AdSense doesn’t take such limitations arbitrarily.

    You could check your AdSense account > Policy Centre again to see if any policy violations are displayed there. Otherwise, you will have no choice but to wait for AdSense to send you ads again at some point.

    AdSense is currently inserting empty Auto Ads on your site.

    Best regards,
    Joachim
