    Considering that google tracks the invalid clicks through ip tracking and cookie and ( any other i wud like to know ! ) , mac address i guess.

    But in case of dynamic ip and disabled cookies how effective is google security ?

    Don't just praise that google is blah blah... in security.

    I mean has it happened to anybody here ?:rolleyes:

    When you click your own ads, you are stealing money from the advertiser, not google.

    Google has a number of methods for detecting click fraud - those that try to get away with it are the ones who later start posts about how they got a lifetime ban and didn't get paid.

    i did clicked on my own ads by mistake before but i didn't know they count it or not.
    but i'm sure if I do it often like once a week I would get banned quite fast.

    answer to the main question is no.
    considering the risks are too high

    Its pointless clicking your own ads, sooner or later you'll get banned.

    When you get old enough to start paying for your own ads you'll understand why.

    It is not a good idee to click on your own ads, I avoid the area's on my website with Google ads on, so I dont click by "mistake" to loose your adsense account is really bad for business.

    So to you question no. DON'T CLICK ON YOUR OWN ADS

    Yup, clicked it before and got paid. I was interested in the offer, although normally when I am in such position I copy the url. It rarely happens, but through the years there was a couple of times when I clicked on my own ads and got paid a few cents.

    P.S. Trying to game the system will only get you banned, but accidents and rare cases happen.

    How about getting banned when you have earned $99 :p

    So its better to be fair to the advertisers and never do that... I have not done that and will advice all my frnds to also not do it.

    Depends on how often you click on your own ads...if you do it too often..u'll be shown the door. anyways I think google has a level of tolerance. Dont try to be too smart by clicking on your own ads thinking its proxy or dynamic IP's. You are talking about GOOGLE. Be careful..while you have your account :D

    Oh yes.. I got paid once I accidentally clicked on ads on my site.
    Then i reported this to Adsense and they "revised" the earnings.

    When I first started with adsense I clicked my ads
    prob 2 or 3 times because I had not yet learned
    how to properly make money with adsense.

    I was kidding myself clicking on them anyways those
    3 times and started to find out all I could about
    adsense.

    I would say that when most people start with adsense
    they click onto it or get their friends to visit their
    websites.

    Yours,

    Surely alot of people must click them once or twice by accident. Google will probably overlook the minor infractions.
