I accidentally clicked on my own ads. Will this cause a problem for my account?
Although publishers are not permitted to click on their own ads for any reason, Google does understand that accidental clicks may occur. They therefore don’t require that you contact them every time you click on your ads. Rest assured that your account is being properly credited only for clicks and impressions they consider to be valid.
I noticed some unusual click activity on my account. How can I protect myself from invalid clicks?
If you suspect that invalid clicks may have resulted from a visitor to your site, AdSense suggests that you review your site’s logs for any suspicious activity and notify them with your findings.
This information can help them in resolving any issues, although as outlined in their Terms and Conditions, Google will use its sole discretion when determining instances of invalid clicks.
Lastly, please rest assured that Google will monitor your situation closely, and that your account is being properly credited for all clicks and impressions they consider to be valid.
Can I view my own site without generating invalid impressions?
Yes, you’re welcome to view your own pages without generating invalid impressions. Simply viewing your pages yourself will not jeopardize your good standing in the AdSense program – however, please continue to avoid clicking on any ads, and don’t reload your pages excessively. Google takes the issue of invalid clicks and page impressions very seriously and has a dedicated team of specialists, as well as automated systems, to flag and review any unusual activity.
Can Google block my IP address or the IP addresses of my users?
Because IP addresses can be allocated from various sources, and because valid clicks may be blocked as a result, Google is unable to block IP addresses provided by publishers.
If you’re trying to block your IP so that you can visit the destination of an ad or add it to your filter list, you can use the AdSense publisher toolbar as an alternative. This toolbar will allow you to check the destination of ads on your page without the risk of invalid clicks.
I use the same IP as other users. Will this cause a problem?
Google understands that you may be using the same computer or sharing an IP address with other users – They have advanced algorithms and techniques to understand invalid clicks.
I expect a significant increase in my site traffic. Do I need to report it to Google?
Google understands that your site traffic may significantly increase for various reasons, and that you may feel you ought to let them know. However, there’s no need to notify them of a surge in activity.
My reports are showing clicks on my ads but no earnings. What’s going on?
It could be that your account has some clicks or impressions, which our monitoring system considers to be invalid. Clicks deemed by Google’s monitoring system to be invalid will appear in your reports. However, since advertisers aren’t charged for clicks deemed to be invalid, publishers don’t receive any revenue for these clicks. For this reason, you may occasionally notice clicks with no associated revenue.
