If you have clicked on your own ads you can sleep peacefully. Google Adsense team has clearly stated the following in assurance that:
- No need to send email to Adsense mentioning that you clicked on your own ads.

- Engineering system and through Human analysis is what Google Adsense is backed upon in distinguishing accidental clicks made by you on your sites or blogs.

Hey, this is Kamal and I operate the NPXP network of websites. I am a blogger as well as a freelancer.
i think that Infolinks have beaten Kontera when it comes to higher payout among blog publishers`~,
i click my own ads…. accidental click…. will google ban me.
Kontera pays well even if they do not pay as high as other advertisers;.`
Take care your Adsense account, i got worried so many times when i banned…Now I got my 8th Adsense account
i would prefer Infolinks over Kontera because they pay much better.`:,
If your blog making a good traffic, its not a problem. i have made this mistake lot of times
.
I have used Kontera on one of my blogs and i earn good from this ad program.”,:
Accidents can happen anywhere and with anyone. Be careful.
Yep being careful is what it takes to be on the safer side. I am pretty much happy and confident with the Google technology however.

Yeah kamal that’s right. There is no need to panic if it is an honest mistake. But after committing a mistake one should be careful next time as repeating such mistakes will lead to life long ban.
Can you please explain more about featuring a privacy policy ? Also can we have infolinks and adsense together on a page ?
Hi Anshul,
Get the Google Adsense Privacy Policy Generator here.
Privacy policy is a must if you use Adsense on your site or blog and it is a must to mention about the doubleclick dart cookie.
Yes you can have in-text based ads such as infolinks and kontera with Adsense
