Hi, I clicked my own referrer banner on my site. I wanted to see if it was working, but then i realised i am not allowed to click.. but clicks on banners for referrers dont cost money.. am i screwed up now ?? or not ??
I've had this happen, I just wrote Adsense right away and explained myself, they just write back and lecture you to not let it happen again. I have a touch mouse thing so just a light breeze over it sometimes taps while I am working, and that's why it happened, while I redesigned, I would just let them know and it should be ok, that way they see you're not being sneaky about it.
With referrals you can click, as long as you don't buy. Google doesn't have to pay anyone for that click, since you did not sign up or anything. So there is (in this case) no harm done.
