Google Adsense Sucks...

I had a very bad day yesterday. My nephew who's living with us (so he could be near the university where he's studying for a BS degree in Computer Science) had a raging fever. I had to attend to him every 30 minutes to make sure that its just the common cold gone haywire instead of the dreaded dengue fever which is a seasonal problem in this sub-tropical country. So where does Google kick-in in this?

After getting my nerves primed-up because of this health crises, whaddya know? Upon logging into my Google Adsense account, a short message greeted me announcing that my Adsense account is disabled. I felt like shouting on top of my voice...but refrained from doing so being mindful that my nephew was lying sick just a thin wall away from me. I was so fired-up with anger, I was murmuring expletives against google most of the day. If I were some avenging pagan goddess, Google would have been reduced to fine ashes by now.

Here are some portions of that adsense-support email:

"It has come to our attention that invalid clicks have been generated on
the Google ads on your site(s). We have therefore disabled your Google
AdSense account."

"Publishers disabled for invalid click activity are not allowed further
participation in AdSense and do not receive any further payment. The
earnings on your account will be properly returned to the affected
advertisers."

They did this to me when they were about to issue a check. To think that I was actively optimizing my pages for the past three months and have finally seen improvement in my adsense earnings. Google really sucks...

What to do? Do I send google a letter to ask for reconsideration? I'll think about it. For now I'm really pi______d off.
