back in adsense after banned

I was banned from adsense a few weeks ago for fradualent clicks that someone targeted my site for. After emails trying to explain and convince them that i was not at fault, i gave up because they pretty much didn't have evidence that proved otherwise. Then a few days ago, I learned that i was reinstated without any effort on my end after I gave up. I was very surprised and they also said they would credit my account back for the amount I had before they disabled the account.

Has anyone else had any similiar experience?

wow, that's the first time I have heard anything like that. Click fraud was pretty much the end all of adsense from what I gathered.

Believe it or not, there are lots of cases where Google reinstated banned accounts.

It might be unthinkable, but maybe Google ISN'T perfect after all.

In fact, maybe some of these banned people were actually innocent. What a concept! Innocent until proven guilty. Who would think of such an idea?

Yes I've been hearing about a lot of bans lately. You are very lucky. Now with that new click fraud reporting tool I bet lots of competitors or malcontents will be clicking ads and then reporting people.
