I have alot of pages on my site and sometimes when I'm looking for what page something is on, I use my search box to find out what page it is, Its ok for me to click the page right? I don't make any money when someone uses the search box and clicks one of my pages yes? So from that I assume its ok to do, but I don't want google to think of this as click fraud or something. I've been doing this alot, but never even thought about this untill now.
I used the search on my site twice. I intentionally clicked the top ad because I was interested in it. I spent quite sometimes on that site looking for some information. Will I be banned from that even though I am actually interested on the ad?
You're not supposed to click on any ads that pays you. I don't understand why that is so hard for some publishers to "get". If you're "really interested", either just place your mouse over the ad, look down at your status bar for the URL, and type it in manually, or right-click for the URL. "Because I was interested" is no excuse -- it's still fraud because you are getting a piece of the advertising money. Will you get banned? Probably not. Just don't make a habit of it.
From now on, I will not use the search box from my website. I will go to google and search from there. Thanks jackburton.
