So I accidently clicked on my own ads

    I had about a dozen IE pages open trying to add our products pretty quick. My PC froze and my mouse pointer wouldn't move. I was moving it around and nothing, so I clicked on the screen. Just as I clicked, the PC unfreezes and guess what? My adsense bar was right their! :eek: I contacted them letting them know the story, however I forgot to mention my domain name. Should I have any concerns about this?

    I don't think one click will matter.
    It was good you sent them an e-mail.

    Yup, I accidently clicked once and sent them an e-mail. I made it very clear that I understood the TOS and it was a complete accident. They replied back and said don't do it again, but were very nice about it. Funny thing is...they didn't even take any money out. Unless I wasn't counted for it in the first place...hmm ;) Google probably doesn't count your own IP but still gets pissed when you click, haha...

    contact them and hope for the best...

    offtopic - but last night I literally had a nightmare about clicking my own ad. I shot up out of bed in a panic and had to think for a second if it was a dream or if I had clicked my own ad that day.

    Don't worry so much. I have click on my own ads twice by accident. I never contacted them to let them know and the Google Police never confiscated my account.

    I've clicked a few of the links before because I wanted to see what the site was in the ad. They probably have a cookie on your computer or your ip, I just didn't get paid for the click that's all.
