    Nothing, google specifically said not to contact them if it happened to you by mistake once or twice. Nothing will happen.

    They would figure it out easily. If you click on your own ads from your own computer, than they can easily track that via IP (in fact, they do it automatically). If you try to use a proxy, they would see that you have a really high click rate, with such minimal traffic, and ban your account.

    Either way, don't do it. You WILL get banned.... forever.

    Yes, if you click to get money you won't do it only once or twice by accident, in this case for sure you'll get your account banned for fraudulent clicks.
    How they do it, they don't tell you, like how they rank sites on their search engine, it's an inside secret.

    The first time they disregard it. But if you continue to click your own ads they ban you.

    You'll get a warning or so, but don't keep doing it.

    Google can track your ip....
    But there is no need to worry if you do it by chance

    don't click by yourself or ask anybody to do so for you.

    Your account might get banned and all your earnings might get lost...

    As has been said, one or two would be treated as an accident. It's not difficult for them to spot it if you are doing it fraudulently.

    Have to admit I do occasionally click on them on my sites if it's something I am actually interested in, without repercussions.

    That's the sure result
    It might risk you account but you might not be banned, or you might be banned.
    some say banned, some say no problem and both of them are right
