This is the biggest issue and reason for many Adsense users getting banned,Clicking on own ads accidentally.Some times when checking out your own site,you may be tempted to click on an attractive ad,may be intentionally or accidentally.As google tracks all users with cookies these clicks are treated as accidental or fraud clicks and there is a chance of getting banned by google Adsense.Getting an account approved again is not so easy.To tackle this one must be very cautious when checking your own site.Or there is yet another simple way!The greasemonkey script.

To install greasemonkey,

• First you must be using Firefox,Chrome or Safari to do the trick!
• You need Greasemonkey add-on for your browser.(ignore if you already have it.)
  • If you use firefox click here to download Greasemonkey!
  • if you use Google Chrome,click here to download Greasemetal!
  • Using Safari,then click here to download Greasekit!
    

You can use a greasemonkey script so that when you view your own site,Adsense ads will not be visible.Thus eliminating the chances of accidental clicks.Sounds cool isn’t it?Actually the original script by Carlo Zottmann disables adsense on all website.In the sense it will not be visible to you.You are not actually editing the original site in any way.So don’t worry.

To disable adsense ads from showing up on a particular site,say your site,use the greasemonkey script given below.Or install automatically from HERE.Make sure you edit the installed script to change the default domain name.

        {
            head = document.getElementsByTagName("head")[0];
            style = document.createElement("style");
            style.setAttribute("type", 'text/css');
            style.innerHTML = css;
            head.appendChild(style);
        }
    }

    RemoveGoogleAds.checkPage();

})();

Change the text yourdomainname.com to your own and the script is for you.Dont forget to change the protocol to https if you use a secure protocol(most of the sites do not).This script eliminates the chances if invalid impressions and accidental clicks.So your Adsense will be safe from your side.

Remember that the script is installed locally on the browser you use only.When you use another computer or another browser on same computer,the script wont work.You must install there seperately.
