    Tell them to go to google adsense, using your referral id.

    Hmm. I'd probably do whatever it takes to dissuade them from clicking your ads, just to be safe..

    Something like 'people I know aren't allowed to click my ads, because a) Google will cancel my account and b) I'll beat your ass'

    Just tell them the truth. Say you do get paid per click but you don't want your visitors to aimlessly click on ads because that drained advertisers budgets and could flag your account for click fraud.

    You can also refer them to the Adsense TOS if you like.

    Yep, do not respond. This way you will have nothing whatsoever to do with it in the event this guy makes a click attack.

    Thank you for taking your time and giving me important feedback. Google advertisements are paid advertisements. However, it will not generate revenue if you click on them for no reason, but if you find an attractive website displayed, feel free to visit it.

    Half the truth ;)

    So where did he ask you from? In a public forum or private email? If it's PM, you should just tell him "it's advertising" and leave it at that. If it's in a private forum where anyone can see it, you should DELETE the thread immediately, then PM him and tell him "it's advertising" and tell him not to ask in a public forum again and leave it at that. I can't stress enough how easily, EASILY this can get you banned. Unless your site is about CPC/web marketing (i.e. like DP) there is simply no reason for you to mention your ads, and doing so will get you banned.

    Sometimes not responding is the best thing to do.

    Well If you have time then ask him in return:

    "Which site brother?? I have 2200 sites and all have adsense and I earn atleast 10 from each of them daily. So I am very busy guy just let me know for which site you are talking about."

    LOL :D

    And he will not respond I think.

    I think this is probably the best solution for you, just ignore emails asking about adsense

    Tell 'em to click away....just kidding. Best to not respond to this kind of email. If the person wants to know enough about the ads, he/she could simply go to Google to learn about them.

    That's my advice as well. Don't respond. If they really want to know let them ask Google.

    Email google adsense and ask them.

    I'd be interested to hear their response.
