Google AdSense is a great way to get a huge extra income if you know exactly what are you doing or specifically , where is your head. The first thing you should do is to STUDY. Try to read about how monetize your blog, watch carefully what others are doing with their blogs. In the Internet there’s a lot of information about it and then try to apply some of the techniques you have learned. The main goal is “get traffic†and if you get at least 50 visits per day you can get easily $150 or more monthly. 1. Never click your own adsense ads or get them clicked for whatever reason. You know this one very well. This is a surefire way to close you Adsense account. Never tell your office associates or friends to click on them. Keep a check if your family or children are busy increasing your income by clicking your ads and indirectly trying to stop your income. Dont even think of offering incentives for clicks, using automated clicking tools, or other deceptive software. Adsense is very smart to detect fraudulent clicks. Check the ads which appear on your pages by the Google Preview tool if required. 2. Never change the Adsense code. There are enough means of adsense optimization & customizations available to change the colour, background or border to suit your needs. Do whatever you want to do outside the code, never fiddle within the ad or the search code. They know it when you do. The search code has more limitations to colour and placement, but you should adhere to the rules. The code may stop working and violates the TOS. 3. Do not place more than 3 ad units and 3 ad links or 2 adsense search boxes on any web page. Anyway, ads will not appear in those units even if you place more ad units. But this is the limit they set, so it is better to stick to it. 4. Do not run competitive contextual text ad or search services on the same site which offer Google Adsense competition in their field. Never try to create link structures resembling the adsense ads. Never use other competitive search tools on the same pages which have Adsense powered Google search. They do allow affiliate or limited-text links. Update: Google has allowed you to run contextual advertising like Yahoo ads, Chitika etc provided the ads do not resemble Adsense ads. 5. Do not disclose confidential information about your account like the CTR, CPM and income derived via individual ad units or any other confidential information they may reveal to you. However, you may reveal the total money you make as per recent updates to the TOS. 6. Label headings as “sponsored links†or “advertisements†only. Other labels are not allowed. I have seen many sites label ads with other titles. Dont make your site a target in a few seconds gaze. 7. Never launch a New Page for clicked ads by default. Adsense ads should open on the same page. You may be using a base target tag to open all links in a new window or frame by default. Correct it now as they do not want new pages opening from clicked ads. 8. One Account suffices for Multiple websites. You do not need to create 5 accounts for 5 different websites. One account will do. If you live in the fear that if one account is closed down for violation of TOS, believe me they will close all accounts when they find out. You can keep track of clicks by using channels with real time statistics. They will automatically detect the new site and display relevant ads.

I know you should not click on your own ads. But can you view your own ads in your browser or only through adsense preview ?
It's better not to as the page impression is counted but it is difficult to avoid sometimes when you're editing the page, right? Anyway, clicking your own ads is strongly prohibited and may lead your account to get ban. Please don't ever try it and I saw a lot of examples.
