I used to click on Google ads all the time, they are a great way to find new interesting sites. Now I've been building web sites and putting Google ads on them so now I don't click on the Google ads from any site for fear of Google thinking they are not legitimate clicks because I have ads of my own now.

I have by accident while building  or updating a site or visiting my own site clicked on one of my own Google ads, I try to be careful not to do that but at times it happens before I realize it. I try to shut the window right away when that happens. I have a touch pad instead of a mouse on my lap top and the curser just happens to land on one of the ad links and while trying to move the curser I inadvertently end up clicking it. My editor doesn't show the ads while I'm building the pages except in the preview window so I don't realize the ads are there sometimes while I'm in the normal building mode then when I change windows there's my curser on the ad. I'm not sure what they might think when the click comes from my computer instead of from my site but they must realize that happens sometimes.

I'm glad Google can tell the difference  between real clicks and accidental clicks I've never been warned about it but I hold my breath when it happens.  Then I try to be extra careful and I try avoid going to my own site to check on them. But one of my sites is a forum and another one has an article submitter so I have to visit them on a regular bases. I get a lot of traffic at my forum ( for me 800 unique a month is a lot ) but I hardly get any clicks there. Seems like different ones of my sites do better at different times. I don't see any kind of an "average" I might get 600 impression and 1 click or 400 impression and 15 clicks on another site.  It just seems pretty hit or miss weather I make any thing or not.
