    Hi,

    Is there a code I can use which is used to trial adsense without it getting banned. Like a "trial" code...? I don't want to use my code just in case I click too much when developing and I get banned...

    Cheers

    Just figured it out... "test" seems to work. :)

    better check with adsense about that, they can bun the domain you are testing on so later you won't be able to put your ads there

    i've been using live ads on my sites for 11 months and have never 'accidentally' clicked on an ad .. constantly switching ads from 'test' to 'live' seems like a lot of hassle..
    I don't understand why this should be an issue.. it's been posted by several members that they had 1 or 2 accidental clicks over long periods of time, and G did not seem to care..

    As my friend has stated clicking your own ad once or twice will not get you banned. I have reported myself doing such to Google and have received their assurance I would not be banned for such.

    It has now been almost nine (9) months since that time and I am still with Adsense :D

    While the site is in development I don't see the issue with changing 1 variable. I think this is "good practise". Once the site goes live then I edit one variable with my pub code and its all go... I just think its better practise and to be 100% safe.. :)

    what i will suggest is in the adsense code remove the publisher code " Ca-pub-XXXXXXXX' then u can click on your ads because it will not get tracked i suppose.
