Should I report google about my mistake?

    Hello,

    Long time ago, I created a website using blogger and i clicked 3 times on my own ads. Yeah, I know a was a sucker and never should do this, but I did. :p

    Now I changed my internet connection and soon I'll use adsense and I'll dedicate a lot with adsense.

    But I'm afraid of being banned from google.

    So should a report it to google? Or it will be considered only invalid clicks?

    LoL, its true... tell to google that I clicked on my ads may not be a good option. However I changed of internet provider 2x since i made this mistake.

    Long time ago is 10-12 months. :rolleyes:

    I was stupid and I didn't see all potential with google adsense. Now I'll work with it some hours per day and i'm afraid of being banned.

    You most likely be fine. I have clicked my adsense ads a lot by mistake and have never had problem with Google.

    Hehe, I have done the same thing when I first started out with adesne in 2009. Don't worry about it.
    I don't think they are going to punish you for 3 clicks that were made almost a year ago.

    I would say just leave it. They usually pick up very fast on irregular behavior....:)

    10-12 months ago - you should be ok if all that time you got the money.

    Just forget about it. If you will contact google, they will list you alert list and might put you on ban also.

    They would have already toasted you when it happened. Often google will sense a mistake and just count it by invalid as opposed to abuse where they ban you.
    Don't even worry about it now.

    Don't report Google about your mistake, otherwise you'll forget Adsense:D

    Google specifically say 'do not contact us if you have accidentally clicked your own ads. we already know!'... They will not pay you for them nor charge the advertiser for them and they will only penalise you if you did it purposely to try and trick them.. which by the way, they know the difference between genuine false clicks to accidental ones. Don't worry about it.. move on..

    I "tried" adsense for a couple of weeks, after I deleted my blogspot... I have only 60 cents on my account... LoL

    Laceygirl

    As it was only 3 mere clicks I'll not report - my final decision.

    Is it really true? I didn't know that.

    Well, it's time to add adsense code and start working hard...

    I think you should not tell Adsense any thing and do not do this again in future. Every thing will be fine.

    Only 3 clicks??? That doesn't matter, just leave it. But don not do this again. Even i have made some fake clicks at the beginning time but I have never did it again. So be cool, don;t get afraid.

    It's what Google's earns the most of it's money man.

    Google adsene is Google's ad publishers network. If your site qualifies you would be able to place Google's Advertiser's ads on your site. You will get paid when some one visits your site and clicks on the ads (and visits it of course). You cannot artificially inflate the clicks. You will get banned if you do so.
