clicking on my own ads?

    If I click on my own ads will I be charged or will google be able to see my ip and determine that it's my own ad and not charge me?

    EDIT: I'm not talking about adsense...

    get adbrite and click your ads... they don't give a rats ass if you do. I've clicked them maybe 20times total and they don't care... maybe because they pay shitty. my last month was about 2500 clicks for 82.71...

    Maybe your revenue is so low because they automatically pay you $0.00 for your own clicks.

    cause my site is pure dynamic and I want to see if it's linked correctly.

    NOTE: I'm not talking about adsense. I'm talking about my listing on the search network.

    I think only one (or two) people who responded actually understood your question. Yes, you will get charged, btw.

    Why don't you just test the url in your browser?

    I mean in the adwords cp you have to enter the url, by pasting it there, so why not paste it in the browser first....

    possibly his site depends on the referrer / keyword the user searched

    Google say you can not click your own ads. You can check if your ads are working, but don't abuse. 1-2 clicks are ok. If you click more, you might get banned from adwords.

    Yes, you will get charged.

    ps -
    I am going to red rep the next person who doesn't read the this thread and replies with an Adsense response.

    I've clicked on my own AdWords ads tons of times...they won't ban for a click here and there - after all - you're paying them for each one.
