Protect Yourself From Clicking Your AdSense Ads Accidentally

You are aware that clicking on your own AdSense ads will lead to the termination of your Google AdSense account. You adhere to the Google AdSense terms and conditions. You are constantly working on your AdSense page and you fear that someday you may click on the AdSense ads accidentally.

There are two simple ways that can protect you from clicking on your AdSense Ads accidentally.

Disable Your Browser Javascript
You can stop Google Adense ads from showing in your Google AdSense web site while you are working on it by disabling your browser Javascript setting. The following steps will show you how you can disable Javascript in Internet Explorer and Firefox.

Internet Explorer 3.X

From the menu bar, select the Tools, then click on the Options.
Select the "Security" tab page
Uncheck "Run ActiveX scripts" to disable Javascript
Restart the browser
Explorer 4.x

From the menu bar, select the Tools, then click on the Internet Options.
Select the Security tab page
Select Custom and click on the Settings... button

Restart the browser
FireFox

From the menu bar, select the Tools, then click on the Options.
Select the Content tab page
Uncheck Enable Javascript to disable Javascript
Restart the browser
Edit the Hosts File In Your Computer
You can also block Google AdSense Ads by using the following simple trick. Open the hosts file in your PC with Word Pad/note pad and add the following entry in the host file of your PC:

127.0.0.1 pagead2.googlesyndication.com
Once you save the hosts file and restart your browser, you will never see the AdSense ads while you are working on your AdSense web site.

You can find the hosts file from the following directory of your PC:

Windows 95/98/Me, c:\windows
Windows NT/2000/XP Pro, c:\winnt\system32\drivers\etc\
Windows XP Home, c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\
Please be aware that if you’ve disabled the Javascript in your browser, any program that is relied on Javascript may encounter problems. If you’ve disabled the AdSense ad by editing your hosts file, you would not be able to view any Google AdSense Ads from any Google AdSense web site. You should undo the changes after you finish working on your AdSense web site.
