They were builit before Google ads ever came along....so they definitely aren't Made For Ad sites.

Yea, I'm over it now after much therapy.
. It happened when AdSense was new. My site was pre-existing and was definitely not a Made for Adsense site or nor was I involved in any kind of click fraud. I can only guess that a curious co-worker or family member may have clicked ads which was connected to my IP address (though I had warned people not to!). Or maybe it was because the ads were freakishly successful because I would get some misdirected traffic from a site with a similar name -- not intentional, but I think it could have made them uncomfortable. But I have no idea. I think they may be less secretive now and more organized, but I still can't get any answers or get the account reinstated.
But click fraud and made for AdSense sites are two different things. They are giving Made for AdSense sites time to comply, paying them their earnings and completely coddling them. With alleged click fraud they were, in my case, much more brutal. They clearly find click fraud a much bigger threat than the MFA sites which they are only now gently cracking down on.
So I'd say it is a good idea to be careful!
