Got Hit with the Dreaded INVALID TRAFFIC BUG. Now What?
26Today's video about the YouTube invalid traffic bug and three possible solutions on how to fix it. About three weeks ago, I started noticing a sharp decline in my AdSense ad revenue. The drop occurred on September 10th and has steadily been going down ever since.

Yesterday, I noticed a banner at the top of my YouTube dashboard that read "one or more of your videos has limited ads due to invalid traffic."
I reached out to customer support at YouTube and currently have a pending case which I have not yet heard back from them on.
Searching YouTube and Google, there appears to be thousands of people that had or current have this issue with a steep decline in ad revenue from this invalid traffic.
The three things I did which I hope help as reach out to customer service, submit an invalid traffic appeal form as well as upload this video where I talk about what this has done to my channel and so many others.
Some content creators get this resolved after a week, some after a month and some never do.
I am hoping for the best as I love creating fun and informative content on YouTube and hope to continue doing so for many more years to come.
