Who knew? Health Business Blog booted from AdSense

I’ve never run advertising on the Health Business Blog, but just for kicks I decided to sign up with Google to let AdSense place ads on my Feedburner RSS feeds. I figured since I have 8000+ RSS subscribers maybe I could earn a few dollars without cluttering up the blog itself. After a couple days Google suspended my AdSense account –didn’t really tell me why, although the implication was that some kind of click fraud was going on. How that would be happening I have no clue.

I appealed the suspension, and got this note in reply:

Hello,

Sad to say it looks like I won’t be able to retire off my AdSense earnings after all and will have to find some other way to pay my bills!
