Adsense account blocked!!

My friend’s google adsense publisher account was blocked a fortnight back. What was more annoying was that google had 45.34$ due to him. But they confiscated the entire amount. It took thousands of impression and clicks and to 2 months wait to earn 45.34$. But it all went away in a stroke.

Initially when  the website was first launched, it hardly earned 0.1$ per day but eventually it had some traffic and started making some money, google blacklisted him. Google paid him nothing for displaying adds 24*7 for 60 days.
One morning he woke up to be greeted by this message from google

Hello,
After reviewing our records, we've determined that your AdSense account
poses a risk of generating invalid activity. Because we have a
responsibility to protect our AdWords advertisers from inflated costs due
to invalid activity, we've found it necessary to disable your AdSense
account. Your outstanding balance and Google's share of the revenue will
both be fully refunded back to the affected advertisers.

Please understand that we need to take such steps to maintain the
effectiveness of Google's advertising system, particularly the
advertiser-publisher relationship. We understand the inconvenience that
this may cause you, and we thank you in advance for your understanding and
cooperation.

If you have any questions or concerns about the actions we've taken, how
you can appeal this decision, or invalid activity.

Sincerely,

The Google AdSense Team


As my friend says, he was not involved in any illegal clicks or traffic exchange program so he appealed against the decision which was subsequently rejected and he received a firm denial.

Hello,

Thank you for your appeal. We appreciate the additional information you've
provided, as well as your continued interest in the AdSense program.
However, after thoroughly re-reviewing your account data and taking your
feedback into consideration, our specialists have confirmed that we're
unable to reinstate your AdSense account.

As a reminder, if you have any questions or concerns about your account,
the actions we've taken, or invalid activity in general, you can find more
information by visiting

 I googled for days and days together and came to know that adsense blacklists publisher and not the website itself. So I advised my friend to use some other adsense publisher to activate adsense for his website. Initially Google approved the account and his website again featured advertisements from adsense, it had accumulated around 2$, when google again blocked him siting that this account was linked with a blocked account. This was completely disastrous, why did google approve the new account, when it had to disapprove it later on. Is it a ploy of Google to flourish at our cost?

After months of survey, I really found this to be a common problem of many adsense publishers. Many have lost as much as 200$ for one reason or the other. Its true that google is strict rather it is very strict. But at the same time it is not completely unjustified. Ofcourse google has to look after it’s adsense advertisers money. It is google’s strictness that has made it no 1 choice for all the advertisers.
