Don’t panic if you click your own Adsense

Well, I don’t use adsense here. So I don’t have to scare of one day getting email about I’m getting banned due to fraudulent click. But for one of my friend, who depends on Google adsense, it’s life and death situation.

One day, he accidentally click one of adsense and send email to customer support informing about the accident. (Yeah! he’s that honest) After two days of nightmare, he got the following reply from Google.

Thanks for letting us know about the clicks on your ads. We appreciate your honesty and your efforts to keep your account in good standing.

Although publishers are not permitted to click on their own ads for any reason, we do understand that accidental clicks may occur, so we don’t require that you contact us every time you click on your ads.

If you were clicking your ads out of interest or to see who was advertising on your site, we suggest the AdSense preview tool as an alternative. This tool will allow you to check the destination of ads on your page without the risk of generating invalid clicks.

Because we closely monitor all account activity using engineering systems and thorough human analysis, chances are we’ve already detected your clicks on your ads and discounted them. While these clicks still show in your reports, we filter out their associated earnings so that advertisers aren’t charged.

Whew!! He can relax now. So I just want you guys you know that if you accidentally click one of your adsense ads, don’t panic. It’s not the end of the world.
