Last Friday, I was reading the posts on WW (have been for some time) and I was hung up on the whole "People getting other people banned by giving them artificial clicks" drama.
About an hour later, I go to G to check the stats (I'm a stat check junky) and I see an ALARMINGLY larger number of both views and clicks. I immediately went into panic mode.
I scurried around the Google website in search of the contact form immediately. . . sending them an e-mail that was ohhh lets say, a bit frantic sounding.
After sending the e-mail I head back to the Adsense stats to review the damage. After I took a moment to breathe, and focus, I realized that I had left it on "This Month" when I left the previous time I had visited. BLAST! I hurried back to the contact form and followed up on my "crisis".
I received a response back from G today and they were delighted to see that I was checking my logs for this type of thing and that they would forward it on to their specialists to aid them in their reviews.
I've been using adsense since mid September, 04. I don't make much off of it, but I value it greatly and appreciate what Google has done to the online advertising world.
I'll end my novel here - but I have loads of questions and thusly I finally decided to register.
It is good to see I'm not the only idiot here - stupity loves company. I think I've fallen for that mistake twice so far. It is equally as exciting when I do it on my adwords account.

Fun stuff!
Another method for increasing the likelihood of having a stroke is to commit a numerical typo that raises your bids or daily budget astonomically
Agreed. I once entered £80 for my max CPC instead of 80p.
Lucky i caught it after 2 £7 clicks - I was going on vacation the following morning... ;)
It happens to me in my AdWords account, too.
Who wants to deal with that drama?!
