Can I click....?

Can i click on a google ad on my site if i really really interested in it?

It feel really bad when you cant click on something u really interested in, just because its on ur site. I have google ads on my site about 2 months... and i have never clicked them once.

It is against their terms of service to click ads on your own site for any reason.

You can click the "Ads by Google" link, which will give you a list of the ads and their links. That way you can copy and paste the URL.

There is also an "Adsense Preview Tool" available from Google that will show you (with a right click on your webpage) which ads will show on your page. You can click those links without charging the advertiser any money.

If you think about it from Google's eyes, there is no way to tell on their end if your click is actually legitimate, or if you are just trying to inflate your earnings. Best not to click at all.

just to let you know, if you click on your own ad, you won't get any money or anything for that click, so I guess you can click on your ad but don't except anything in return.

I think self-clicking is breaking the terms no matter what the intention is.

No, it's not that you won't get paid for that click (Because you might), it's that you will be kicked out of Google adsense, and all earnings up to that point forfeitted.

Don't click the ad. Just scroll your mouse over the title of the ad you are interested in and it will show the address in the taskbar at the bottom of your screen.

To be even safer so as not to click your own ads by accident, it always makes sense (IMHO) to use the Sandbox tool to see all the ads that would appear on your page, and click them at will (Because they aren't associated with your account, and don't charge the adwords advertiser).

Don't click it to be on the safe side
Right click, copy link, and study the url
Take out the googlesyndication and there should be the website's url on it
