Forgive me if I have posted this in the wrong forum. I have just entered my AdSense publisher ID into the DP control panel and I wondered what protection there is to stop me from clicking on my own ads? Does the system not serve ads with my publisher id when I am logged in? Just thought I should ask, better than avoiding clicking on all ads just in case.
your ads don't show to you if you are logged in ... and I think you need 50 posts for your ads to start showing.
My understanding is it does not serve your ads to you while logged in. I am not sure about when you are logged out. Others may be served your ads when you are logged in.
It would have been much better had you read the FAQ's in detail, its mentioned there that once you are logged in the ads wont be served to you so that there is no risk of you yourself clicking the ads. Though most people"Users specially" are Ad Blind!
I wasn't aware of the existence of the FAQ, until you pointed it out, and there it is - right in front of me Yes, I not only suffer from ad blindness, but my fear of clicking on my own ads has spread and now I avoid clicking on all ads (when I do see them).
