    I was tweaking my theme on my blogspot blog when I accidentally clicked on the adsense ad.

    Will this get me banned?

    Thanks for the help guys.

    Definitely not. One click will do you nothing. But just be careful next time and don't let this continue because you will be banned if they see the same clicking pattern over and over again from the same IP.

    I am completely agree with Dynashox you will not got banned due to one click but don't it regularly as Google is very strict about fraud clicking and they always give priority to
    there clients over publishers.

    Once is nothing, they know that accidents might happen and even that you might have been genuinly interested in that specific ad. But don't even think about doing it once per day or so, they have enormous systems in place to find you and I've had many clients loosing their accounts because they foolishly tried to up their earning by clicking themselves - VERY BAD IDEA!!!

    Make it a rule to never, never, never EVER do it.

    If it would happen again, email Adsense support immediately, informing them what happened, what IP you came from and that you accidentally clicked an ad. That way you get to keep your account, or else loose it and all the money inside it and be banned for a lifetime.

    Nope, but I wouldn't do it too often if I were you.
