You are aware that clicking on your own AdSense ads will lead to the termination of your Google AdSense account. You adhere to the Google AdSense terms and conditions. You are constantly working on your AdSense page and you fear that someday you may click on the AdSense ads accidentally. There are two simple ways that can protect you from clicking on your AdSense Ads accidentally. Disable Your Browser Javascript You can stop Google Adense ads from showing in your Google AdSense site while you are working on it by disabling your browser Javascript setting. The following steps will show you how you can disable Javascript in Internet Explorer and Firefox. Internet Explorer 3.X 1. From the menu bar, select the Tools, then click on the Options. 2. Select the "Security" tab page 3. Uncheck "Run ActiveX scripts" to disable Javascript 4. Restart the browser Explorer 4.x 1. From the menu bar, select the Tools, then click on the Internet Options. 2. Select the Security tab page 3. Select Custom and click on the Settings... button 4. Select Disable under Active scripting to disable Javascript 5. Restart the browser Explorer 6.x 1. From the menu bar, select the Tools, then click on the Internet Options. 2. Select the Security tab page 3. Select Custom Level... button 4. Select Disable under Scripting - Active scripting to disable Javascript 5. Restart the browser FireFox 1. From the menu bar, select the Tools, then click on the Options. 2. Select the Content tab page 3. Uncheck Enable Javascript to disable Javascript 4. Restart the browser Edit the Hosts File In Your Computer You can also block Google AdSense Ads by using another simple trick. Open the host file in your PC with Word Pad/note pad and add the following entry in the host file of your PC: * 127.0.0.5 pagead2.googlesyndication.com Once you save the hosts file and restart your browser, you will not see the AdSense ad while you are working on your AdSense web site. You can find the hosts file from the following directory of your PC: * Windows 95/98/Me (c : \windows\) * Windows NT/2000/XP Pro (c : \winnt\system32\drivers\etc\) * Windows XP Home(c : \windows\system32\drivers\etc\) Please be aware that if you've disabled the javascript in your browser, any program that is relied on Javascript may encounter problems. If you've disabled the AdSense ad by editing your host file, you would not be able to view any Google AdSense Ads from any Google AdSense site. So it is highly recommended that you undo the changes when you finish working on your site
Or, you can let Google know after you click them, by using thier contact form. I like your second option but blocking javascript completly I am not so keen of doing. Thanks for the advice.
it's very good . i think you must add adlock firefox extension to your list. you dont need to disable all javascript with firefox
I use FireFox as my default web browser. So, I installed AdBloack Add-on to block ads from webpages. I also hides the AdSense ads. Is this method is effective?
Thanks for posting. I'm not using adsense at the moment but I can see to accidential clicks and you have given the heads up on how to avoid them.
Yah, I think i accidently clicked on one of mine the other day...wonder if i'm in hot water right now..
nice info.. thanks a lot... but ive actually accidentally clicked my own ads 3-4 times now... always have this problem.. nothin has happened till now.. so if i accidentally click my ads many times.. how does google find out.. ?? thru ip address?? and do they terminate ur acc without any notification ??
Adsense keep telling us that there is no problem if we accidentally clicked our ads....until you got banned. Thanks for the info.
this is very useful for people who wants to prevent their colleague or family members at home clicking on google ads and making Google suspicious..just paste the blocks at the hosts file on each pc in your and office. thank u so much for this info..
