    i just clicked on one of my adds, thought it was not on purpose and only one single ad.
    is this a problem? do i need to report this (a single ad)?

    thank you.

    just email them saying you clicked, you should be ok though.
    Nothing much in 1 click, but dont do it again

    Clicking on one single ads is not a problem. I used to accidentally click a couple of times on my own ads when I'm still new with Adsense. :D

    If this is first time you did then you do not need to worry and also do not need to complain it to Google. However if its your regular habit then you should worry about getting your Adsense account banned.

    don't worry about it...

    You'll flag Google if there's multiple clicks from the same IP address and such...so a single click is nothing.

    Incidental clicks are common. Don't worry about it. Good luck on your website.

    no problem, google ignores accidental clicks and no earnings for the accidental clicks but if they found you are clicking again and again then they ll punish us.

    Click just one of your own ad will not do anything, so you should be safe. Just if you do it mulitple times there is a big chance you will get your account blocked/banned.

    You mean to say we should start clicking our own ads once in 10 days? would Google appreciate it?
    Well I don't think so :D
