How to Click your own Adsense ADs

In this article I will show you how you can click your own adsense ad without going against adsense TOS .But first i want to explain when and why you  need to do so. According to adsense Program Policies Clicks on Google ads must result from genuine user interest. Any method that artificially generates clicks or impressions on your Google ads is strictly prohibited. These prohibited methods include but are not limited to repeated manual clicks or impressions, using robots, automated click and impression generating tools, third-party services that generate clicks or impressions such as paid-to-click, paid-to-surf, autosurf, and click-exchange programs, or any deceptive software. Please note that clicking on your own ads for any reason is prohibited. Failure to comply with this policy may lead to your account being disabled.
Now the question is if you accidentally click your own adsense when you working with your new site or blog or in time of checking the links those are close to your adsense unites , what to do? because you are 100% honest, you haven't done anything willingly.


As an honest Adsense publisher, you are likely to send an email to Google Adsense support with the URL of the web page where you clicked your own ads and probably the reason .Unless any time your account can be disabled. When you submit a confession you will get a response from adsense support centre.

Here's a standard response from Adsense support when publishers make honest confessions:

Thanks for letting us know about the clicks on your ads. We appreciate your honesty and your efforts to keep your account in good standing.Although publishers are not permitted to click on their own ads for any reason, we do understand that accidental clicks may occur, so we don't require that you contact us every time you click on your ads.

But the accidental click can happen again and again with you,How many time you submit your apology ?
I have a symple solution of this problem. All you have to do is add “google_adtest = ‘on’;” to your ad code using the following syntax:

google_ad_client = “pub-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx";
google_ad_width = 468;
google_ad_height = 60;
google_ad_format = “468×60_as”;
google_ad_type = “text”;
google_ad_channel =””;
google_adtest = ‘on’;
; where xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx is your Publisher ID.

Now you are in test mode . Impressions or clicks on that particular modified Adsense ad unit will be ignored and now you can work with your new site, check your link,even youcan click your own adsense ad. No problem. After your checking  don't forget to remove google_adtest = ‘on’; from your adsense ad unite code.
