Is there a problem with clicking on our own alternate ads (our OWN banners being served in the absence of Adsense ads)? I just did this twice to see if the alternate was working - without even thinking. The link did not work, and the words "privacy report" flashed at the bottom of my screen, for whatever reason. And then I realized hey, wait, this is Google so maybe I wasn't supposed to click.
This wasn't even posted on my site yet, I was just looking at it in my HTML editing program. Any chance Google's going to boot me out for this?
