Are AdSense invalid traffic deductions normal?

[LazyTomato]

Hello

I was wondering if invalid traffic deductions on AdSense are normal every month? I'm not losing a lot to them, like up to $0.05 per month on average, although on some months it gets to $0.20. I'm not really concerned about losing these breadcrumbs, but I am concerned about a potential action from our Google overlords on taking my account away because of it?

Do you as a publisher have the same experience? Is this normal and I'm worried about nothing?

Yes, everybody gets deducted at the end of the month, it´s normal. But you must watch the deduction %, if it´s high, let´s say 10% or more you must watch your traffic and implementation.

Thanks. It's not that high at all, but one of my websites often gets a surge in "direct" traffic I think may be related. I can filter from Analytics but how do I filter it from seeing AdSense ads?

Yes, deductions are part of the game. If they start to grow check quality of your traffic.
