Exempting yourself from clicks on PPC

    When running ads I would like to check the landing pages and keywords in real time. If I click on my own ad and go to my website, am I costing myself money or ruining my CTR by showing the ad? Can I exempt myself via IP address for testing? Thanks!

    are you talking about any particular PPC network or PPC in general?

    like once I start my PPC ads I would like to goto google and make sure they're working as they should. Try different key words to see what ad popps up and what landing page its associated with as I will have 50 landing pages or so with a bunch of different keywords. I dont want to cot myself money or shoot myself in the foot by lowing my CTR. I will be running on BING and googles PPC. not sure if the rules are any different.

    I think you will have to find another way to verify your ads without clicking on them, because google will gladly take your money for clicking own ads (unless they detect a click fraud at some point)

    you can click your ads inside your adwords dashboard.. other than that, you cannot.
