    Advertising (learn more)

    Advertise virtually anything here, with CPM banner ads, CPM email ads and CPC contextual links. You can target relevant areas of the site and show ads based on geographical location of the user if you wish.

    Starts at just $1 per CPM or $0.10 per CPC.

Big mistake!

    You can use Google's AdSense Preview Tool to view ads on your own site. ;)

    Don't ask how I found out about it. :eek:

    Google should put a mothers-in-law-filter in place... probably easier than getting a new mother in law.

    A little question, I run a site that i like, and use adsense, as adsense put banners that are content matching my site often I see banner that I'm interested into, now I right-click on it and extract the link to the site and I'm ok, and till here I's ok, I pay attenition.

    But the problem is that I think is normal that a person click sometimes on his site as the content of a banner is relative to his own site. Sure if this became automatic google will correctly kick him out but for some click I think that Google would not "care".

    If your pages are PHP based contemplate pulling AdSense code into a function that first check the visitors IP against your current one. Then it will show a fake ad to you (and your friends/not so savvy parents for example) to prevent this from happening again.

    I've clicked my own ads in the past quite a few times. It's just something that happens. I try not to do so, but if I'm really interested, clicking's simply an automatic reaction.

    I don'T think that G's gonna ban me. They knwo that we'Re just humans.
    Moreover, we won't get paid for clicking so there'S obviously no attraction in clicking ones own ads to make money or to cheat google.... :confused:

    I cannot imagine that a few clicks a month would even be noticed unless they amount to a huge income from some of those $30 keyterms. You are bound to see some good and interesting results on the adsense display when you check your own sites and it's normal for you to look at those. We are talking about click fraud a lot and that does not amount to click fraud. I however mouseover the adwords ads on my site and then type in the url.

    Either way, they better not be getting on your case for one click ;)

    I'm pretty certain you're not going to get banned for the odd click, and since no revenue ever seems to be generated by clicking on your own ads then it wouldn't/shouldn't matter.
    At the moment I use php to serve a fake ad, it'll be a bit more of a chanllenge when I move to a dynamic IP shortly.

    It might not be a fraud, but it has cost some $.$ to the advertiser and that should be real cause to worry :D

    Set your browser home page to a script on your site that logs your IP, then when you load your browser up it gets ur IP and uses that. you could even make the script redirect to google after it gets ur IP.. or whatever your current home page is.

    Well, thats what I do (as I am on dyn IP and work from 2 locations)
