It's ok if you click your own site's AdSense ads. That's according the Google AdSense team.
You don't need to send them an email pleading to reinstate your AdSense account, er, telling them that you accidentally clicked your own ads. Why?
Because we closely monitor all account activity using engineering systems and thorough human analysis, chances are we've already detected your clicks on your ads and discounted them. While these clicks still show in your reports, we filter out their associated earnings so that advertisers aren't charged. However, please keep in mind that we don't ignore the clicks completely; if it appears to us that a publisher has been clicking on his own ads to inflate his earnings or an adverti
ser's costs, we may disable the account to protect our advertisers' interests.
However, SEO expert Danny Sullivan contests the ability of the AdSense team to truly track whether it's really the site owner who clicked the ads or not.
I think it's possible. But what do you think?
