AdSense has been the most efficient way of making revenue from blogs and other online properties. However, while AdSense is a blessing for most bloggers, it is one of the biggest worries too. Many bloggers are afraid of AdSense click bombing, which is the primary reason for disabling AdSense accounts of many publishers.

Many times, if you don't take a timely action, Google may disable your account for invalid clicks. There are several other reasons for disabling AdSense accounts. You can read more from Google's website on how and why they disable some accounts - https://support.google.com/adsense/answer/57153?hl=enHow to get the AdSense account back after Google disabling it?
Unfortunately, once the AdSense account is disabled, Google does not reinstate it in most cases. Yes, it is the bitter truth. Most publishers have to just forget that source of income and switch to other methods to monetize their blogs. Some other alternative sources of online revenue include affiliate marketing, other ad networks, sponsored reviews etc.
Let us come back to the point. Even though it is difficult to get the disabled account reinstated, you can still give it a shot.
In some cases, Google will disable ad serving in one or more sites while the account remains active. In such cases, a carefully drafted appeal could get ad serving re enabled for those sites. Prepare your site for appeal and review
When you submit an appeal, the AdSense policy team will review your site, your account history and past violations etc. Since you cannot change much about your account history and past violations, let us focus on making your website/blog look great to Google.
My first advice is, do not rush with an appeal. There is no need to submit an appeal within a few hours after you get the notification that your AdSense account is disabled. Instead, relax for 1 or 2 days. Then take a detailed look at your website. Google may or may not have given the exact reason for disabling.
But no matter what, you have to make your website free from all sorts of policy violations before you submit an appeal.
While an account is active, Google may ignore many small violations or they may not notice many issues within your site. However, when your account goes through a manual review, which may have resulted in the disabling, they will note down all problems and violations in your site. When you submit an appeal to the AdSense policy team, they will further review your site. If they find that the issues they found earlier are still appearing in the site, your AdSense account will not get re-approved and you will hit the dead end.
Read the AdSense terms and policies to make sure you are complying with all the policy requirements: https://www.google.com/adsense/localized-terms
Before you submit a policy violation appeal, spend at least 2-3 days thoroughly reviewing your site and make sure every single possible violation of AdSense policies is resolved. Even if you finish it in a day, waiting a few days will give an impression to Google that you have actually spent sometime to make the required changes.
In addition to fixing the issues, you may take this opportunity to improve your site to impress the AdSense team. Hire a good content developer and enhance the language used in the common pages like About Us and Contact Us pages. Also, make sure you have a very well written Privacy Policy page, which is mandatory according to Google policies.

This is the most critical part. Do not submit the appeal in a hurry. Spend few hours and compose a very convincing message to Google to prove why they should reinstate your disabled AdSense account.
Sample message format for submitting policy violation appeal. You can download a sample here.
The field to type the message to Google in the appeal allows only 1000 characters. So, your goal should be to prepare the most convincing message within that character limit, which is a very challenging task. I recommend you prepare the message in a document, review it several times and keep tuning it for few days while you are working on your site to fix the issues.
When you are confident that you have resolved all issues that caused the policy violations, submit your well prepared appeal and wait for the favourable response from Google.
