ok going by that....wouldn't a directory be a third party script to increase traffic? Shoot a forum, a blog!!!! Hell even a website in general!

I can understand not using auto surfers and otehr things that falsely increase traffic
but using link exchanges and sites like trafficswarm that are real people browsing real websites....that's not inflating traffic, that's just a means to get your site into more peoples sight so they know about it....

*I guess Google Doesn't Want To Pay People All That Much...if we can't use means to get traffic to our sites*

Directory, forum or a Blog can't be a third party script to increase traffic. It's a natural way to increase traffic.

Google can't point 'em as a script, they are full functional website.

Who cares Google? I don't

Got a warning from Adsense for click violation, how is this possible if I havent clicked on my own ads??

This happened to anybody else?

[shadav]

click violation could be from you clicking your own ads or i'm not sure but could also relate to google thinking in someway you have incouraged people to click your ads, given them some incentive to do so...

contact them and try to explain, but keep in mind, they will check throughly...

hehehe and btw i did get that first payment and a few others though I still prefer adbrite to google
