How to prevent yourself from clicks on your own AdSense ads

Everybody which using AdSense should know that he can't click on his own ads because, it is against AdSense polices, and can be banned for own clicks.
But you can click accidentally sometime when you look at your own site.
To prevent myself from this I making the ads hidden for me.

I will describe some ways to do that. This are not all possible ways.

1. AdSense Preview Tool
this is a tool from Google to test what ads will appear on your new pages, or on your old. You can select ad formats, colors and geo-targeted location.
You can see how to install it here.
I never used it, because it is for Internet ExploDer, and I am using Gentoo, and there isn't IE for it (actualy there is some like IEs4LInux and other).

2. Disable Javascript
AdSense works with javascript, if you disable it for you sites, your AdSense will not shown. But if you have parts of your site which works with Javascript you will be unable to use it.
How to disable the Javascript on different browsers:
Opera - open your site, right click on the page, select "Edit site preferences...", select the tab "Scripting", uncheck "Enable javascript" and press "OK" button.

FireFox - you can install some extension like NoScript or AdBlock.

Interned ExploDer - I don't remember/care

3. hosts file
This is another way to disable AdSense, and this will disable not only your sites ads but, and every site ads in any browser.
All AdSense clicks get through the host pagead2.googlesyndication.com, if you set static IP address for it in your hosts file, yours(and others) AdSense will not appear any more in any browser. What you need to do? Just add the following line in your hosts file

127.0.0.1 pagead2.googlesyndication.com

Where is this hosts file?
On Linux/UNIX - /ets/hosts
On Windows -
Windows NT/2K/XP/Vista - %Systemroot%\System32\Drivers\Etc
Windows 9x - <drive>\<Windows folder>

4. Server side scripting (PHP/ASP/JSP/Whatever)
You can write a function which checks is the visitor IP match with some in list with your IPs, then if not you show the ads, else you don't.


What is your way?

Don't tell your girlfriend for your Adsense site

If you tell your girlfriend for your AdSense sites you risk to be banned from Google AdSense.
How? Why?
Its funny but can be happened?
If you broke up with your girlfriend and she wants to revenge you in some way, she can attack your AdSense. She will click a thousand of time on your add, and Google will suspend your account for invalid clicks.

Don't tell your girlfriend, if you don't really trust her.

No images lined up with adsense ads

Google stops publishers which line up images with adsense.

I think this is good, because this make users to click on the adsense by mistake.
There is so many sites in last time with this style of showing ads with images lined up.
I am in the adsense from a year and when i visit some site i know what is adsense and what is not. But a couple of times I clicked on the adsense with lined up images. But i wanted to click on the image, and when i was unable, i click on the ads. But the ads has nothing with the image.
And I didn't want to click on this ad, but i clicked.

Here is the post in AdSense blog.
