    I made arookmedia for one of my domains which was getting good traffic .
    And with rookmedia,I made some 240$ in the first month,,not with any invalid clicks,
    and clicks were surprisingly low too.
    One day when Iogged in,they said I am banned,neither they sent me any email so we can talk,nor did he sent any warning or gave my money..
    In the end,rookmedia suddenly closed my account without any email or anything,so I cannot contact them,and took my240$
