Google suddently blocks my Adsense Account

Out of the blue I got a mail last week that my Addsense account was blocked. I had started earning a decent amount through it lately as my website started getting some popularity. Supposedly this was due to click fraud. This site is running from a year. If I really wanted to indulge into click fraud I would have done this long time ago. I went ahead and filled in their online appeal form to re-instate my account, but there has been no response from Google Adsense.

Its really unprofessional on Goolge's part to block account without giving any explanation or any statistics. I am sure I didn't click my advertises over and over, so I desperately want to know who did and what was done ? However, there is no way to know since Adsense team won't co-operate.

Reading about this issue over the web it seems like there are many many webmasters who have gone through this and have eventually switched to a different ad network. This unprofessionalism is the usual arrogance from Google. I have really no other choice but to switch over to either MSN or Yahoo Publisher Network .

US mobile industry shows signs of growing up

One of the most startling surprises for an Indian guy when he lands into US is that for getting a cellphone along with a SIM you need to sign a contract of 1 or 2 years. This seems ridiculous but thats how the US mobile industry was. They were still in 1960's while the world had moved ahead.

I read at GigaOm today that Cingular has finally grown up and realized this mistake and has started offering SIM cards at $25 without any commitment from the customer. This will start a revolution across the US I believe. Most people will switch out of their contracts immediately or after their current contracts expire.

This is a great releif. At least someone in the industry grew up. Hope that others follow AT&T.
