I can give you a first hand one; When we owned AndAppStore we initially used AdSense, then, after a year or so, we got an email saying the account was suspended and we wouldn't be getting any more money from them. I asked for a reason why and was told "We'd breached Adsense policy", and that was it. Google refused to give any details of what policy we'd allegedly broken, no details of what we could do to rectify it, and definitely no proof we'd actually done anything wrong.
We switched to AdMob, and, shortly after the Google purchase of AdMob went through, guess what?, yup. Account suspended, no specifics of why, and again no proof we'd actually done anything wrong. That was the point we gave up on trying to use adverts as a source of income due to the unacceptable risk of the income going from a reasonable sum to zero overnight without any solid reason of proof of breach of contract, and why, when combined with poor income from app sales, we pulled back from developing standalone apps for Market and moved towards helping larger companies develop their apps and services. And I know I'm not alone in having a story like this.
