clicked on my own ad by accident

    So I accidentally clicked on my own ad by accident. I immediately emailed google about it and told them it was an accident. I put the ad too close to my home page logo, and meant to click the logo, not the ad.

    Should I be worried about a ban? It was purely unintentional.

    They won't shoot you down for doing it once, but if it becomes a continuous accident then you might be in trouble..

    google recently release accident forgiveness. Normally if you clicked your ad mistakely you would have to email google about it. Now you don't. But make sure you dont have too many "accidents" just like what mann3r said.

    That's good to hear. I've inserted a couple of <BR> tags after the code to make more space between the ad and the logo.
