Here are two of the questions asked by new AdSense users:

1. “Can I make money online by clicking my own ads?”
2. “Is making money online by clicking my own ads from different computers and IP addresses possible?”

Well, the answer to those questions is the same and it’s “no”. It only takes commons sense that a big company like Google is not so stupid to allow you to start making money online if you play around with their program. Though it may be true that many will try and do this and probably earn money from it for a few days, they won’t be able to continue doing so in a long term. If invalid clicking goes on, then sooner or later, Google will detect them, and once Google catches you, you won’t be able to make money with AdSense any time in the future.

But to ensure that you don’t make any mistakes while on your way to make money online with AdSense, you should read their terms and conditions before even applying.
Know what an Invalid Click is
According to Google, “Invalid click activity consists of any clicks or impressions that may artificially inflate an advertiser’s costs or a publisher’s earnings, and for which we decide not to charge the advertiser. This includes, but is not limited to, clicks or impressions generated by a publisher clicking on his own ads, a publisher encouraging clicks on his ads, automated clicking tools or traffic sources, robots, or other deceptive software.”

Using bots to gain click-traffic – it’s an invalid click. Generally, invalid clicks are the things you’ll want to avoid if you’re really serious about making money online.
