Is there an invalid click detector

I created a Custom Search Engine in Japanese to test it out & was showing a consultant. I made it with a specific theme. I told the consultant that it was for blue widgets only.

As soon as I showed it to him he wanted to check out if it produces irrelevant results.

That's fine for him to look at but he actually clicked on the adsense ad instead of just looking. We all work at the same company & this is my private project, but we are all on the same IP.

He was saying sorry for about 3 days but the point is I looked at my stats later & Google showed a click but no money amount in search. Of course I know it's an invalid click & don't want the money but I'm glad they didn't count it or send me an email.

Do they detect this for long term publishers?

Also it would be great if I can block my company IP so consultants here who look at my sites, don't get me banned. We all use different computers but those in the same situation know what I'm talking about.

You want to share info with coworkers & tell them (Don't click the ADS) but as soon as they show someone else later, that's when you worry.

My heart drops when a consultant tells me "I loved the blend that you made on your new site". Cause I know each blend is better than the last & I started not telling them...

Just have your server not show ads for those IP addresses.
