    I've click the ads twice. But I was interested in the ads. Will google ban me for that? I just started my blog two weeks ago. Who are scared by Google? The one who are dependent on Adsense.....

    I would say probably not, but you shouldn't click your own ads even if you are interested in them.
    Anyone's AdSense account can be a multimillion dollar asset that you can lose very easily - that is worth protecting.

    To all those who clicked ads on their sites and did not get banned. If it were ads related to cloths or fashion you probably owe me some money :p

    Rot in hell selfclickers!

    It was between 15 - 30 clicks a day for about 1 week.
    How silly of me to try and scam a place like google.
    Everything is cool now again so, lucky lucky am I.
    I always like to try things first-hand, good or bad. :D

    I am from India. I have GPRS Connection at Home which has a public IP Address, means that every customer of that GPRS Connection has the same IP Address. Is it the case of a dynamic IP. I have accidently clicked on my own ads. If it is a dynamic IP, there is no problem for me. But I am confused. Please help.....

    I've clicked a few times by accident but no issues.

    My search site has ALL of the links on it setup to look just like the Adsense ads so if I don't pay close attention it can happen.

    I couldn't resist..check this search query out.. http://www.searchnology.com/self-clicking-adsense-ads.html :)

    Doesn't Google use much more than IP to identify the user? Example, cookies...

    I am sure they use more then IP. They do not reveal their way of catching but I think it has to be way more then IP.
