Diary of a Techie

What happens when Google catches you messing around with your adsense ads? Answer: Google disables your account and sends you a nasty email! Furthermore, you also forfeit any accumulated earnings.

A publisher’s site may not have invalid clicks on any ad(s), including but not limited to clicks generated by:
– a publisher on his own web pages
– a publisher encouraging others to click on his ads
– automated clicking programs or any other deceptive software
– a publisher altering any portion of the ad code or changing the layout, behavior, targeting, or delivery of ads for any reason

Publishers disabled for invalid click activity are not allowed further participation in AdSense and do not receive any further payment. The earnings on your account will be properly returned to the affected advertisers.

So the moral of the story is, concentrate on providing good content on your site, and the earnings will follow. Click on this link to learn more details on Google Adsense’s terms.
