    What happen if you let your relative to use your pc and they search some information using search engine and found your website. i know the probabability is very low. But if they found it and click the ads on it because they are interested to know something on the ads.

    It would be seen as a 'self click'.

    Google only know the machine. They have no way of knowing that somebody else is using it....:)

    First of all,

    Why let others use your PC.

    I ever click my ads by accident. And also don’t know that I made it. Basically it because of I would like to edit html code, and just short cut by press the bottom, I email to inform Google team, and google team said, no worry coz only 1 click, and google team also noticed by intelligence tools that was my own click. He he , and the report of earning also report that 1 click, without CPC, coz it’s my own click. So, that experience, made me understand that no need to worry much.

    It would be self-click obviously because Google has no way to determine the person that actually cliked them. Anyhow, don't let anyone else use your computer if you think tey are going to clikc on ads.

    The safest approach is to not even mention AdSense to your friends and family. Certainly don't mention you get paid for every click. If you're using a shared computer make sure you have a seperate login - don't ever bookmark your own sites on a shared login.

    Agreed to the above. Dont let them know - Evan though its a very, very small possibilty of it happening, it could happen.

    I agree with the above don't let any one know, as they might try and "help you out" for you computer or their own and click on all your ads and get you banned. Sometimes helping is hurting

    IS there any way to check how many clicks from one ip address? For example, we can check if there is anyone keep click on our ads? If there is anyway to block the ads to show it when we use our own pc?

    even you tell google they wont believe in this kind of excuse (even it really happened) so better be safe than sorry, dont let anyone know you got a site with adsense and install adlogger incase your relative really dont know it's your site and access from the same network and click the ads. (dang man, after types this sentence i really realized that the odd to be happened is too dang low...)

    You can use adlogger,so u can see who clicked.And if some people click too many ads,you can automatically ban the ip's by adlogger.
