Clicked on own ads, will I get banned?

    I just signed up with Clicksor but to test it out, I clicked on my own ads from 2 PC's for testing purposes. Will I get banned? What are the chances?

    I'm pretty sure that clicking on your own ads on any platform will get you banned if it's a trend. I know Google is militant about it, but not sure about Clicksor.

    I did it to test it out, I am a new user. I did couple of clicks and on 2 PC's.

    Spoke to couple reps online with Clicksor and they said that my account is and couple of clicks won't hurt as long as I don't do it again. What do you think? Trend? You mean like a pattern?

    By 'trend' I mean someone being blackhat about it, and committing fraud.

    By contacting them, you've done exactly what you were supposed to be, and shouldn't be worried. Just don't do it anymore. :D

    You mean like constantly clicking on it? Oh ok, great. I know Google Adsense is very strict about this and I see lot of banned accounts and frustrations.

    No but now adsense's term is changed. if you click your ads by mistake the click will marked as invalid click and you won't be banned. but you always click your own ads then you should be banned soon.

    No network will tolerate clicking on own ads.But if you only click once,it is hard for them to find out.Don't worry.

    don't worry, clicksor is not stricted like google because they pay extremely low (Compare to google some keyword pay up to 30$) so you won't get banned the first time you do it. But be careful not to click on it often. Sooner or later you will get banned

    I'm not sure about Clicksor, but I know Google are very, very serious about that kind of thing.
