By Mistake I clicked on an ad on my site (just one click) . What should I do now? Will google ban me? how long it takes to get banned for invalid click ?
If you have global visitors clicking your ads as well I think Google will forgive you if you don't do it again.
no problem.. but, remember dun ever repeat the same mistake on the future.. if not, maybe your account will get banned from google...
The occasional accidental click is no problem: https://www.google.com/adsense/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=62472
If it's an accidental click, you won't just get an instantaneous ban. However, you could also promptly email them and let them know what happened (if you want to) by contacting Anyway, I wouldn't worry at all. Happened couple of times myself and since their algo can detect where the clicks come from based on your IP... they won't even credit a penny for the clicks.
Yes they have some algorithm by which they can differentiate between intentional and accidental clicks
Well, Its not a problem.. but if you wanna play safe, then mail them about the incident at Though its not necessary.
