I am just curious, never tried this tough . What if you access your website using proxies and click on your ads? Would Google recognize it as a proxy? Or would they be able to trace the real IP somehow... What if I use a proxy which is usually not detected as a proxy by scripts?
You'll create an un-natural pattern and undo yourself, it's not worth it. Even if you get it to work at first you'll be sending your own conversion rates through the floor and will be paid less and less per click... again, not worth it. Google may mark you as a problem webmaster and that might hurt any future projects your involved in, again... not worth it.
Google gives you search results in less than one second, do you think they can't find all proxies in the world and mark them?
Kool, I got the idea . I was not actually planning to do it, I was just curious. Thanks for your feedbacks everyone....
obviously they don't know if you are using a proxy, however, they can check for patterns like time between clicks, geographical ip location, browser settings I think it's not worth it
Just never think that we are more expert than google, that is impossible. So, be honest if we want cooperate with google
why taking unnecessary risk? Google have great technology. surely they'll detect it and in the ull be banned. so be honest and work hard, you'll get what you deserve.
insted of wasting time in clicking on your own ads..pls spend time in developing your sites visibility in google search... even i thoght of clicking on own ads..but its useless..and u may even get a ban!!!!
You are putting your account into trouble... google crawls hundreds of proxies daily and they know when the clicks comes from proxies...
Agreed, there is a pattern, and a paper trail or electronic trail, goog know which sites you were on before all those im sure and they have algorhythms to check all that stuff out...
if you thought about it, don't you think others using the same proxy are also clicking their adsense ads? then all these adsense ads being clicked by webmasters using the same proxy IP address sure can't look good.
