You don't have to email Google if you accidentally click your own ads anymore?


I accidentally dragged my mouse over one of my adsense ads about an hour ago. Though the browser accessed the Internet the page never loaded, so I checked my adsense stats after 12 o'clock and saw a click, and figured I'd better send my apologies just in case. I started going through their menus for sending email and when I clicked the radio button for "accidentally clicked on my own ads" it said this:

Although publishers are not permitted to click on their own ads for any reason, we do understand that accidental clicks may occur. We therefore don't require that you contact us every time you click on your ads. Rest assured that your account is being properly credited for all clicks and impressions we consider to be valid

How do they know that you are clicking your own ads?

If you viewed the site using another PC and didn't log on, how would they know?

It happened to me twice in the last two months. But I never reported it because I figured that, at worst, they would take it away from me.

Re: You don't have to email Google if you accidentally click your own ads anymore?


I reported it to google when i did it 2 times last year.

Well i'm currently banned right now. I think it's the domain that's banned using adsense.

Besides the forum, i had adsense on a blog of mine i don't use anymore but i was also hit with a click bomb 2 different time's by some idiot. Even though ya email google and get the automated response, it's no use explaining things. Screw Adsense (Well, i do miss the $$$ with them) There other way's to get revenue anyways.

What i should of did on the blog and my forum was disable the ad's for Admins so no temptation to click on them or by accident.

I dunno Caddy, when I started with AdSense the prevailing wisdom was that you wanted to make sure they knew you weren't doing it deliberately, to build a relationship with them where they had a history of your honesty and forthrightness. But you know what they say about prevailing wisdom
