Well, thanks a bunch to the kind person or persons who maliciously clicked the ads on my site. Google suspended my account for invalid clicks I appealed the decision but for some reason Google is terrible at customer service and I had to email them and fill out the online appeal forms over and over and over, until they FINALLY got back to me, over a month later. And after you appeal once, Google waves their mighty hand and then the decision is final. They won't even provide me with any proof of why they think the clicks were invalid, or where they originated from. It doesn't seem like it would be all that hard to prove that I wasn't clicking my own ads, which is what they are accusing me of.

The little amount of money I make on those tiny, unobtrusive ads helped to offset the cost of the bandwidth from all of my music and animations. I make movies and music for fun, in my spare time. And even now that I am an animator full-time with SuperNews, I still come home and work on more animations and music because that's what I love to do. It's really sad that my account can just be stripped from me for no reason and there is not a single thing I can do about. I guess people who steal movies and random crap from the internet deserve to make tons of cash off of their giant, flashing, obnoxious ad covered pages, but a guy can't have a website that simply showcases his own stuff, gets very little traffic, and makes a few extra bucks to keep itself running.

Sorry, had to get that out.
