    Another option would be to edit the hosts file on each machine to block the ads completely. This would eliminate the possibility of anyone clicking on the ads accidentally.

    i think that just disabling scripting as above will disable serving ads on the whole machine.

    Mido,

    just disabling JavaScript will make impossible to view most of "active" sites. What you can do is to put your sites into "Restricted sites" zone (Tools->Internet Options->Security Tab) and ajust JavaScript options for this zone only.

    That is the beauty of using the hosts file to block ads from being displayed. It does not impact any other features of any website, other than blocking all ads from being displayed.

    There are a few threads here in the forums that detail various scenarios on how to block ads to prevent accidental clicks. One of those is to use the hosts file on your Windows machine.

    Here is more info than you probably care to know about the hosts file, but will provide more knowledge than I can in one post: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hosts_file (sorry cannot post live links yet)

    Okay, so back to how you actually block ads on your machine. First you need to find the hosts file, typically found in c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc on XP machines.

    Open this file in notepad or any other text editor. You should see something along the lines of an entry like:

    127.0.0.1 localhost

    After that line, add the following line:

    127.0.0.1 pagead2.googlesyndication.com

    Save and close the file. Open your browser and navigate to your page or any other website and you will see that the ads are no longer visible. If you only want to do this while testing/working on your site, you can comment out the line when you are doing by adding "# " before the line added above.

    As noted earlier, this will block ads on all websites. You may or may not like that approach, but it will certainly prevent anyone from accidentally clicking.

    You've got to restart your browser, at the very least, and possibly even restart your entire computer for the changes to work. Your computer may only look at the hosts file once when it first sets up the internet connection, and not look at your changes til you reboot.

    And, for firefox users, there is one extension called "Adblock"..
    There you can block urls/j scripts.
    To block adsense just block this in adblock prefs: http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js
