    I accidentally clicked one of my ads, when i honestly didnt mean to. Do I e-mail adsense and tell them about this accidental click?

    I think you may "get away" with one click...

    But anymore and theyll be upset! AdSenseAddict is right.. Would email them!

    Also contact all AdWords advertisers and get on your knees.

    I think I've done this a total of twice over a year or two. Luckily, my sites are not geared towards high paying keywords (specifically, if you know what I mean) so I doubt there was much suspicion that I was trying to artificially inflate my revenues.

    I didn't write to them and they managed to set my revenues to zero for those clicks.

    I will admit to biting my nails and waiting for the hammer to fall on my head however.

    Does the sky look like its getting closer to you? :eek:

    You should be fine, send them an email and apologise if it makes you feel better and be more careful in future :cool:

    I don't think 1 click is enough to ban your account, but I'd still email them just in case - better safe than sorry.

    I know the feeling. Hehe, its really funny too see what Google have done with the webmasters. Anyway, it will not harm you to send them a mail, telling them that you clicked on an ad.

    Good luck to you!

    I can't speak for google but i don't think that they will ban you for one click on your own ad because you have reported to them. Google is not the devil and i think that they know that every one can make a mistake.

    Just my two cents,
