Basically, my website was linked by some major news networks, ad revenue shot through the roof for about 3 days, and a few days later they canceled our ads, and took the revenue, claiming we had click fraud. In attempting to appeal the case with Google, they asked some really ridiculous questions that frankly I don't know how anyone could answer, about various statistics on our websites visitors, IP addresses of users, blah blah, telling us to 'prove' that we didn't commit click fraud. So yes, Google likes to steal money on sites that suddenly get a ton of traffic. We ended up moving to Yahoo and AdBrite, we make less money but at least they aren't accusing us of crimes we can't prove we didn't do. Good luck with Google, I'm guessing you'll switch to Publisher and AdBrite too though. I had a similar run in with Google months ago, and they took over $500 from my account.

All it takes is one loyal user to click the same ad three timers and it is click fraud. We had several thousand in our account before google decided it was click fraud.
