If you do accidentally Click on your own hubpages or good ads what can you do?
You are busy reading hubs and you click on your own adverts. That's either the hubpages ads or your ads served by google. You know it against the rules and you know 100% that you have clicked the advert by mistake. What can you do to prevent google or hubpages blocking you. Is there a way of letting google or hubpages know of the accident.
I wouldn't worry too much about it. They would have to account for the occasional accident - so, I would hope that one mistaken click on an ad on one of your hubs wouldn't be enough to trigger anything, or get you banned. I wouldn't bother trying to get in touch with anyone until after it became an issue.
Hey there!
It is obviously not right to click on your own ads, whether those are from Adsense, Hubpages or any other Ad publisher.
I must admit that I have myself been in such situation when I clicked on my own Adsense ads, while redesigning/structuring my blog. Perhaps, twice or thrice within the last year. However, my Adsense account is still active and I haven't received any notice from Google regarding the incidents.
So, it is quite safe to assume that they do not take any action on such accidental clicks, unless you start having "an accidental click / day" ! :-)
So IMHO, if the click really was accidental, I don't think you should worry about it at all!

I accidentally clicked on one of the ads on a Hub of my own tonight--did that one other time, more than a year ago (I think), and that time I went through the whole rigamarole of notifying Google what a bad boy am I. Since then, though, I seem to recall seeing a "post or three"...

I know we are all here to make some money, but having 10 ads on a page slows down loading time to such an extent that readers just don't have the patience to wait for a page to load. So they click away without reading our pages. To prove my point that the very high number of ads is to...

What would I do? I accidentally clicked one of the ads when I was editing something. I did not clicked in intentionally.

do you click on ads on hubpages?do you ever click on the ads on hubpages? If so, do you do it to help other hubbers out? I'm not talking about click fraud here, I'm just wondering if you are more inclined to checkout ads on your fellow hubber's hubs as opposed to ads on some random site you stumble...

I have absolutely no intention of ever doing so, but has anyone any idea what does count as click fraud? i.e. 1 click, 2 clicks or lots? I can imagine it isn't that difficult if you do adsense long enough to at some point accidentally click on one of your own ads then your future earnings could be...
