Google adsense disabled my account -and im not sure why - anyone else? - what now

Hi,

A while back I started using google adsense on my website and then about a month later my account was disabled - I did not click on my own ads so i was and still am confused why they disabled it - I appealed their decision and was denied - with no explanation what I did wrong.

I was wondering if this happened to anyone else and what could I do or who to use for advertising besides google adsense.

I was also wondering if this could have been the problem - as it its listed as the 2nd highest reason for adsense accounts to be disabled is for the following reasons:

"Generating or receiving automated or bot traffic
- Artificial impressions and clicks that are generated through automated means such as a bot or deceptive software, are prohibited. Automated traffic can be generated by a publisher, or can be received through purchased traffic. It’s important to review traffic sources before you decide to work with a traffic source. Also, be aware of programs that check links within your site, as they may click on ad links as well."

Another reason might have been because classipress is a advertising site itself - and another reason for google to close adsense account is for the following reason
"Ad placement deceptive for users or generating accidental click -
Publishers are not permitted to encourage users to click on Google ads in any way. This includes implementing the ads in a way that they might be mistaken for other website content, such as menu, navigation, or download links, modifying the ad size to be nonstandard and invisible or hard to see for the user, or being placed too close to elements on the page that require heavy mouse interaction. Please review the guidelines for implementations considered deceptive."


The reason I mention this is because often I would upload a lot of ads into my classipress site and then look at the amount of hits that ad has had and sometimes within a few minutes the system registers 5 or more hits for that ad - and this can not be possible - also if I would share an ad on a facebook or twitter feed and point it to the ad on my site the ad on my site could straight away jump and show that it has been seen up to 20 times and there is no way that the ad has 20 inividual hits for this to happen within a few seconds.

So im just wondering and interested to know if this has happened to anyone else - it seems like now I can never get back onto the adsense programme.

Any suggestions??

Thanks
