Right clicking your own Ad, no effects right?

May this cause problems on your own ads

This may sound dumb but may right clicking your own ad in order to see link properties be consdiered a a fault? I mean that is not counted as a click right?

Clicking for any reason is not allowed. They won't credit your accont but they don't like it either.

To check the destination of ads on your page without the risk of invalid clicks, Google suggests using the AdSense Preview Tool, available here:

Only works in IE but it does work.

Right-clicking is just fine. I think Demaestro misread the question.

As long as you don't generate a clickthrough (e.g. by selecting "open link in a new window"), there is no effect whatsoever.

I did misread, sorry.

Thanks Jomaxx

Right clicking, to bring up a menu to do things like inspect the source code is fine, since it doesn't generate a URL/page-load event.

I use right-click + ViewSourceChart (something that Firefox has as a plugin) to very quickly display the domains for the MFA's that occasionally pop up.

I can't be sure but I think I saw Google saying to do this somewhere.

Installed the tool and I get an alert Line 437 character 3
permission denied, code 0, url [pagead2.googlesyndication.com...]

Tried in IE 6...
