    hi,
    browsing through my site I accidentally clicked an adsense of mine.... i was also logged to the adsense panel! :(
    will this false click have bad influence?

    i hope not to vanish all my job for a stupid click...

    sure it will have a bad influence, if it happens again you might get banned. I wouldnt worry about it personally, but if you want you can email google with the exact time your click occured and let them take care of it.

    Please let us know the google reply .

    I have met the same situation while viewing my site and I close the windows before the ad page open.

    I am wondering how google check if this is you ?

    They chack via the cookie or they chack your firmware code ?

    for example if you open your web site in the public computer like the one in airport .After that some one open your site again and click the ads on your site in this desktop ~ will this action been thought you are clicking the ads yourself ?:cool:

    this is the part I am trying to find out since I do not want such an action to ruin my google chance

    You should be fine. The only people who need to worry are people who live in Uruguay, Italy, and Portgual. Apparently Google has been having trouble in those areas lately and are auto-banning anyone in those particular hotspots with issues.

    :eek:

    Well i clicked my own ads a few weeks ago and i informed google and i had no problem... i had another problem now (thank god i dindt get my account closed!!) and they were very kind...(i mean very, very, very kind).

    Yeah i saw that in your location field. I assure you that it was just a joke. I threw Uruguay and Portugal in there to look more like a joke. :)

    You should be fine.

    Just be careful.

    I just had my AdSense account banned after less than 30 days. Here is part of the email that Google sent me:
    It has come to our attention that invalid clicks have been generated on the Google ads on your site(s). We have therefore disabled your Google AdSense account. Please understand that this step was taken in an effort to protect the interest of the AdWords advertisers.

    A publisher's site may not have invalid clicks on any ad(s), including but not limited to clicks generated by:

    - a publisher on his own web pages
    - a publisher encouraging others to click on his ads
    - automated clicking programs or any other deceptive software
    - a publisher altering any portion of the ad code or changing the layout, behavior, targeting, or delivery of ads for any reason

    I do not know why I have been banned because I have not clicked on any of my ads that I know of. I have appealed to Google and I am waiting to hear back from them. I hope they are fair with me.

    For a single click I'm sure that google will understand. Especially since you emailed them, they should have some leniency. I wouldn't do it again, but once isn't going to ruin your adsense account.

    I asked google the same question :
    Q:What will be if someone we do not know click the ad on my web site crazily ? or the one just click for fun ?will that impact my right ?

    Reply From Google:
    Google monitors clicks on ads to prevent any abuse of the AdSense program. Google's proprietary technology analyzes all ad clicks for any invalid click activity that is intended to artificially drive up an advertiser's clicks or a publisher's earnings. Please be assured that if you are not associated in any invalid activity that occurs on your site, you will be not be implicated and you will continue to accrue earnings associated with valid clicks.
