Google Adsense Question?????
Today I accidentially click on an adsense add on my website, and when I checked my adsense report for today, I only had one person click on an add (me), however, it did not generate any income. I was not a referal add, does google know that I clicked it and will i get kick off for click on one add???
The answer could be as simple as being that the ad didn’t cost enough to generate income. The system calculates how much the ad costs to display … based on factors such as keyword quality and ad quality and competition for that particular keyword – this is what the advertiser gets charged every time his ad gets clicked on. The higher the advertiser bids on his ad, the more likely it is that the ad will be displayed.
Adsense users receiver a percentage of the value of the ad that gets clicked on … in your case it could simply mean that the ads value was so low that it didn’t generate enough to earn you income.
I don’t think Google will punish you for having clicked on the ad … I’m sure they would send you a notice if this was the case, although they might have detected it and stopped the ad from generating revenue.
I’m not 100% sure, but it could be either of these cases. I’d say wait a day or so and see if you receive any notices from Google, if not, I’d say you don’t have anything to worry about …they are strict … but I’m sure they realise that anybody can make a mistake.
This is a good question- I wish I had a concrete answer. I think your ip address get’s logged with Google and you won’t see revenues from clicks generated by your machine.
I would love to know more on how this technology works…

What was the ad? they may send you an email with a warning about click fraud, but that is only if they think you are partaking in it.
you shouldnt have to worry about that one click… anyways the ad was probably not worth that much to get the money.
i would check into adbrite… as well… there is a button on my site

for each person that checks it, i get a certain percent from the full page ads. i only have about 60,000 pageviews a day, btu it generates a lot of income for all the page impressions… even more than adsense and the referral buttons help a lot

Hello there. There are some things that might have happened.
1) You clicked on a public service add on your site. When you page doesn’t have a clear subject google places psa adds. Those adds pay 0 cents / click.
2) You might have logged to your account with the same ip so google didn’t count that click
Don’t be afraid that anything strange will happen to your account. Webmasters do mistakes too and google knows it. Try not to do it too often though.
Have fun
