Invalid Click
I've been editting my website mixdigitalproducts.com one afternoon, when an unexpected thing happened. I accidentally click the google ads on my website. Oh no!
I just uploaded my website into the server two weeks ago, the purpose of the site is to earn commision form sales that will be generated form it. I also put google ads to increase my adsense earnings.
After of two weeks of operation, I decided to edit the ads on my site. I replace the 160x600 image ads by 160x600 text ads. After more than a couple of hours editting my 79 page website, I easily get mad when I preview it and saw one of the page has no change at all. I went back to the control panel to edit the code again. For the second time I preview it and still see no change. I continue to preview other page and then back to the page where change did not took effect. In my dissappointment, I accidentally click on the 160x600 image ads on the middle left side of my of my site.
Wheeew!...I got freak...I got nervous...what will I do now. Its only two weeks since I started as a publisher. Knor I didn't receive yet my first check. I dont want my account be suspended, or the worse case, get banned by google. No, this can't happen to me. Suddenly my mind told me that I have to tell google 'bout this. Just to inform google that I accidentally click on my own ads, and I have no intention to increase my earning through this method.
I log-in to my account in google adsense and see the click is not recorded there. This lessen my burden. I continue to the contact page and then report everything happened that afternoon.
The next morning, I check out my adsense account to see my earnings, when I read that familiar url channel. Oh my, this is the click that I made yesterday. Here I am again. Burden filling up my mind, and my heart beating fast. I check out my e-mail add, hoping that I have a message from google. I've deleted all the spam mails from my bulk and inbox, but I don't see any.
I surf the net and look for a forum similar or at least related to my problem. I found many publisher got their account terminated because of invalid click or click fraud. There are also saying that, if it is only a click in a blue moon, google will understand and will not terminate your account.
Until now I did not yet receive a mail from google regarding my problem. I'll just wait for it and see the result. If you guys has encountered or know something such kind of problem share it with us.
