I Am Not Sure IF I Will Be Paid

I got to know about adsense a few months back and will be getting a check of almost 200$ for my first ever cheque from google. I got the PIN number sometime back and have entered it succesfully. The only thing i am worried about is that at first i wasnt really aware of the rules (TOS) of google adsense so i think in the 1st month i may have clicked on my ads a couple of times and have downloaded the mozilla firefox browser once.I wanted to know that if google wanted to cancel my account, then would they have done it by now or will they do it after processing my payments on the 25th of this month. Please do let me know coz teh 25th is coming soon and i have no idea if i will get my cheque or get a mail from google saying that my account has been cancelled due to fraud clicks.

I have a sick feeling that my account will be cancelled.

 

I don't think anyone but google can tell you if you will receive your cheque.

It's good thing you know you should not click your ads or ask anyone to do it for you.
Google has software to analyse click-fraud and I am sure they do not pay you for all the clicks. Hopefully your fraud amount will be so low that you will not be paid for that paid for those clicks anyway...

 

if it wasnt too much, google will just send you an email saying you cant do it again, and remove the revenue from the invalid clicks i think.

 

just mail to google about your accidental clicks,It will save you later from being banned.any how google has some grace periods upto 30th of every month.you will surely get your cheque even u banned.

 

The check is supposed to ARRIVE to your place by the 25th i think...
If you weren't banned...I guess this month you gonna have your check.
Just don't ever click your ads again, or ask someone to do it for you...

 

If the check was issued and sent to you, then no problem - you'll get it, and Google won't reject it. We all wait for the March payment these days. So the only thing is to wait and pray you won't be banned. Google likes to kill the publishers just a day before a payment.

As for self-clicking, we all did this. I used to click my own ads 3 or 4 times in a row, and these clicks were added to my account with zero earnings. If you haven't click 20-30-40 times in a row on your own ads, you won't be banned for sure.

 

Your own clicks are counted with 0$ income. If you make a habit from clicking your own ads then you could have a problem but a few accidental clicks are not a reason to worry.

 

Thanx guyz!! This info really helps!! Now all i can do is sit and pray till my cheque gets issued.Hope i get it.

 

Your clicks wont be counted, you wont get paid for those accidental clicks.
But if they notice frequent clicks from your IP, they will ban you.
For now you can relax and enjoy the first cheque...

Remember one thing never click on your own ads!

 

How many clicks???

 

dont worry brother...
if ur invalid clicks are counted and if its low... they send u a warning mail....
if its very huge... they will ban you...

 

Rookie, I think your gonna be OK.
Just remember "G" is serious about click fraud.
If you abuse your account they will know.
A couple of accidental clicks in the beginning is probably negligable...

 

Google is like an elephant who can't inhabit any aunt in its way.

 

hmm i got couple of 0$ clicks but sure didnt click on them !

 

Well, if you only clicked "a few times", then they'll probably let it go. How many times did you click, in total?

 

rookie, are you seeing the Payment in progress (PIP) status now?

Like what many people said, Google didn't ban you and will not ban you for just a few clicks.

 

I clicked on my ads by mistake recently. I just email google that it was mistake and let them deduct any cost from that click. LOL

Actually I think I didn't click, but don't know why the webpage redirect to some website and when I click back and notice it might be one of advertiser website.
