Hi all, I am a newb in adsense (less than 2weeks) and here in this forum. On either the first or second day, when updating my website, I accidentally clicked on one of the ad once. From what I have read and seen through this forum, it seems like Google is extremely strict with all the banning news... should I be worried? My blog is: http://vividlite.blogspot.com and it will be of a great help, if experienced contributors to this forum can identify whether my website (will be putting more articles on) is going to the right direction; not against TOS and will work.. Thank you so much for all the assistance.
No, its not serious. Just them a polite email telling the what happened. Just don't make a habit of it.
dont worry about 1 click. sometimes when i work on my site or doing soemthing by mistake i clicked once or twice, but they didnt tell me anything, though it was 6 months ago. but those clicked didnt count. so i know they knows it was by mistake.
It happens sometimes and as quest said send an email informing them. They generally don't ban accounts for an accidental click.
Yes. I did accidentally clicked my ads once and informed Google. They replied and I didn't get banned.
If you do it only once you don't need to even mail them. Just make sure you don't do it too often - as in very rarely.
stay calm and don worry. i think they understand especially on the first month. just make sure dont let it happen again. (if really happened this time just email them. )
I would probably err on the safe side and send them an email. Your email won't be read by an actual person, but the generic email you get back will be a good record that you reported your fraudulent click, in case you need it.
