: How to check if I have bad links in my Wordpress site? I have Wordpress site and recently receive bad from AdSense for invalid activity. Honestly I don't know why, but one of the things that

@Kevin317

First suggestion: pause all Google ads before your account gets locked down because Google is not known for reopen any closed AdSense accounts.

Second I would suggest checking your theme with the Theme Authenticity Checker. It scans all theme files for potential malicious code.

Third: Try to find out if you receive bad traffic like Josip already mentioned (bots etc).

Fourth: How do you integrate the ads on your site? It it a custom widget or something offered by the theme or another plugin? If yes, try to hard-code the ads directly into the theme with the code you get from AdSense.

Invalid click activity consists of any clicks or impressions that may artificially inflate an advertiser's costs or a publisher's earnings, and for which we decide not to charge the advertiser. This includes, but is not limited to, clicks or impressions generated by a publisher clicking on his own ads, a publisher encouraging clicks on his ads, automated clicking tools or traffic sources, robots, or other deceptive software.

Chances of getting back into the Adsense program are very very slim.

Do you know the reason why you got banned ? It could be most likely invalid clicks, you could file an appeal: www.google.com/support/adsense/bin/request.py?contact=appeal_form
Once again chances of getting his account back are probably next to nothing. It's very important that Adsense Publishers take a pro-active stance and ensure that all terms and program policies are in full compliance.
