"One accidental self-click = ban" — relax

"One accidental self-click = ban" — relax
Seen this panic a hundred times. New publisher clicks own ad, spirals, posts "am I banned??"
No. Google's invalid-traffic system filters this stuff automatically — it just doesn't pay you for that click. One slip is noise.
What actually gets you dinged: a PATTERN. Same IP, repeated clicks, a buddy you told to "go click my ads." That's what the system flags.
If you fat-fingered once, do nothing. Don't email them, don't 'confess' — that just puts your account on a human's desk.
Move on.
