I have crossed the minimum thrashhold for adsense..... its five months im blogging now, but just recently started getting some good traffic from google..... my concern is in the first week(1st april-4th april) of using adsense i clicked on some of my ads....but apart from that never clicked on my ads nor i asked anybody to do so........ and i passed my thrashhold at the start of this month( 2August) now im about to get paid but im having nightmares that google might ban me for those clicks............. anybody have anything to say about that ??????
it should be ok, I'm sure you're not the only one to try to click his own adsense at first, until you understand that real visitors can click for you and earn you money instead of you making pennies while clicking yourself.
Pretty much. They usually follow up pretty quickly on stuff like that. I wouldn't do it again though.
really encouraging replies........... I hope they dont ban me coz apart from (few clicks in first week of signing up) i never clicked on my ads.......now im getting some good traffic and getting loads of clicks every day........ hopefully my April madness dont get me ban..
Well normally Google understand that it's highly possible that Webmaster may clicked on ads by mistake and it happened 2-3 times then you not need to worry about it but if you did many times then it may caused problems!
Not to be a spoil-sport, but many people do get their accounts reviewed when they first reach the payment threshold. There is no way for any of us to know if Google will spot your invalid clicks, and decide to cancel your account. You'll just have to wait and see. The good news is that you should know pretty soon whether you'll be sent a check or not.
Don't be anxious because if you got to $100 at the beginning of august you won't get paid until the end of september, so you have time to worry
