Google can ban your Android app if they think you’ve clicked on your own ads

I had several domains once for a couple of ideas I was working on, due to them taking about a year to do as it was just personal thing I did in spare time in between playing games and attempting to have a life, I decided to domain park them with Adsense.

I set them up. Clicked on each one once to make sure it worked. Closed it. Didn’t open the domains again.

Week later banned from Adsense for click fraud…

I don’t get it. But I really hate Google now.

"make sure it worked" is when the ads are displayed — unless you've accidentally disabled clicks or something..?

This was like in 2005. I didn’t really know what I was doing because it wasn’t adding JS to the page. And when updating the NS records it wasn’t rendering properly. So yes I clicked on the ad. It linked me to the site. And I deemed it working. I also even added my (static) ip to the list for ignored clicks.
