admob clicking your own ads

hello friends!

I'm new app developer and I just finished my first app. After putting ads on it I figured I will click on a few ads to see how much money I will earn for each click. Then I saw online a few people that their account got blocked because they were clicking their own ads. How do google / admob know if I am the one who clicked the ad and not just a random user?

    Don't do that, ever. There is a thread about this on the forum. It's super easy to know for Google if you click your own ads. There are many ways for them to identify you.

    Google can even find out if you ask your friends to click on your ads. Don't ask me how. But I am paranoid on such, to the point that I do not even allow my friends to try my apps. It can be disastrous.

    I knew a guy who was in a lage "ad click exchange network" and Google busted them. I've met him on some forum, he was bragging how he's making a lot of money (he even sent me some screenshots), and then it all ended. But he was fair enough to admit what happened - I didn't know that up until then.
