I'm new to Google AS for Search. I just set up one search box and I was wondering if it has the same status as the AdLinks units. So, am I allowed to run test search queries? (Obvously, I'm not allowed to click the ads that will appear.)
play safe. its better u not risk the search on ur own search box. technically avoiding the click will make u fine. but see what happened to me. i have this news archiver and i took one night off to enter as many feeds as possible to start with. what happened is there was CPM ads showing and each time i submit a feed the page gets refreshed and the impressions increased. the next thing i know is my adsense account lost for ever for fraudulent activity. if i knew this wasnt safe then i wud have removed the ads before my data entry.
Story is scary not only your own cliks, viewing ones own page will also screw the accnt? Anyway search results wont shows CPM ads?
You don't get money for viewing the pages, just for clicking the sponsored links. You could always ask a google rep.
