Anyone else notice that this site supports the Apache Software Foundation and yet the server itself runs Microsoft IIS 6?
I find that just a bit strange.
I have had the same problem as well. Some random person hit my site up with 40 clicks after I got a few links from other sites. My account was terminated a few days later. Google gives the opportunity to appeal, but I chose not to do so. This also means that if someone were to have something against a site that runs AdSense, they could effectively shut down the source of income by mass clicking over a day or two. I was considering running a story about this on a few sites, but in the end Google can do as they want with little or no challenge. Google the next Microsoft? Maybe.

Let's see what companies like Syamntec and McAfee will do now. Can't forget the EU either.
