clicked my own ad and emailed them

    I want to vent out that I have accidently clicked my own ads while reviewing my page (my young cousin suddenly pulled my hands while I was surfing and this led me to click a ad) I then immediately clicked the back button and then sent a email to adsense support.
    I had some query about adsense two weeks back and I sent them a mail but there was no reply.
    So my fingers are crossed now.
    I just want to relax myself so I am posting here needing a warm consolation from fellow members.
    ps: have you clicked your own google ad and what was the reply from google.

    Don't worry bud, google won't ban you for one invalid click, more not when you have emailed them about that; )

    What? Why would he want to click his own ads on purpose? Maybe you mean he should email google if he had accidently clicked several more times. I think he has done the right thing.

    Nothing will happen. Dont worry

    I accidentally clicked my ads 3 times and nothing happened.
    One in each of my sites.
    I didnt even emailed them.

    A question though. How google knows its you who click the ads?

    Thanks

    So, there is some relation between TAX form and IP. :D :D :D

    @Vic_msn:
    Don't worry, although it wasn't requred to inform
    google for 1 invalid click, I think you have done right thing.
