Hi All, I opened an adsense account back in February and had almost no clicks until September when I revamped the site and the traffic started to roll in. So, from Feb to Sept I made less than $10 and I really did not care about the program. Yet, out of those 10 bucks that were made during that time ~$5 is in my clicks (i.e. I clicked the ads from school). It was stupid yet I've done it and I am not sure if Google will ban me now (this took place sometime in May) that I am ready to receive my first check. I also remember visiting my pages extensively (i.e. 50 times / day to increase impression #) and clicking on my own ads on my home computer (the same IP/machine that I use to check my adsense balance) which is even more stupid (Google figured out that and i got no money for those hits So, here is my questions: 1) Do you think they will close my account? 2) Do you get penalized if you visit (not click on links) your own page? Best, Vedran
That will get you in to trouble. Send them an email, apologize, explain the situation. It's better to talk to Google then to not.
Will viewing my own site create invalid page impressions? https://www.google.com/support/adsense/bin/answer.py?answer=18203 How do you prevent invalid clicks and page impressions? https://www.google.com/support/adsense/bin/answer.py?answer=9718 Those links pretty much state what you already know, but you still might want to read them. I'm not sure what writing Google several months after the fact is going to do. If you want to be honest about it, then fine, go ahead. If you want to avoid being kicked out of AdSense, you probably have an equally good chance not saying anything to them right now.
hahaha You are such a fool! Why do people do this?? And why come on a public forum and tell the world how dumb you are? I hope it was worth it, your adsense career is done for.
