My Google Adsense Account is disabled


Today my mail told me that Google had disabled my Adsense account. Hmm!
The mail said
"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.
....."

So something went wrong. I am not a great geek to find this out. And Google will not explain and why should they. It's their program.
Of-course there is a chance for me to appeal against this via an appeal process.
I will not approach them because my earnings were something around 16$ since I started blogging. Not worth wasting Google's time :)

Anyway my blog is slightly lighter now and some advertisers are richer by 16$.

Negative way of seeing things

We have seen many advertisements...Ranging from ridiculous to puzzling to interesting to insane.
Here is one advertisement that caught my eyes recently.

It is an advertisement of a college. This ad big billboard facing the 100 ft ring road (connecting Mysore road with Bannergatta road). The college seems to offer BBM, MBA and PUC courses to students. 

The billboard (located in college premises) says
ABC* college
Courses offered - PUC, BBM etc
"Students who score more than 90%, get free education".

A novel thought to attract poor & intelligent students, who cant afford the huge amounts demanded by other colleges.

But...A wierd negative thought creeped in my mind.
Is this a challenge to the student - "Lets see if you can get 90%, under our guidance and coaching" ?

ABC* - Actual name is purposefully hidden!
