  OK, I don’t do any of the “bad” things (regarding AdSense LOL)

  So, why was I having “relevant” (and more interesting) ads until earlier today, when they suddenly reverted to all “blogging” ads?

  I have two ad units and they were each featuring different “relevant” ads…like for travel and jigsaw puzzles (which were mentioned in posts on the page.

  No new posts, but suddenly the ads have gone back to the low interest “blogging-related” ads. Since I don’t write ABOUT blogging, I don’t see why they reverted (they were like that for the first day or so I had them published, then they picked up topics that were actually mentioned on the page.

  I am frustrated by this, is there any rhyme or reason to it?

  I never trully thought clicking your own ads was a bad thing! Once in a while I’ll click one of my own links because the link trully interests me. Is that a bad thing? Should I use another computer with a different IP and keep refreshing until the ad reappears?

  It’s a bad thing Joe. Don’t ever do it - every time you do it you are one step closer to being banned from Google. I wouldn’t even do it from another computer. If the ad interests you look at the URL in the ad and just open it manually in another window. It’s just not worth the risk.

  Does anyone know anything about datashaping.com? I noticed a lot of visits on my web site from them just before Google banned me from Ad Sense. Are they responsible for the illegal clikcing algorithm?
