Can i click own adsense search box for testing?

I would go with: Don't even try with your IP adress, try going to a cybercafe and trying it (CLICK it ONCE)...

Googlw is very strict on that, i know

I am not a Google expert by any means. They do reccommend that you not use your search box for your regular searchs because you might click on an ad by mistake.

There is nothing paid for a search done on your site. You only earn income when someone clicks on an ad.

I see no reason why you can not test the function and the results page to make sure they are working. I also strongly suggest that you not click on anything displayed on the results page.

Google is firm but fair. I really believe you will be fine if you follow the above. It is the way I handled it on my own site.

I would say no,please check TOS of adsense before you make anyting .

no, you should not do this. First, you are not allowed to do so, second, they can detect it. so don't

Dont even think about it friend. as google will easily catch you up with their very sophisticated software and tools and you will be banned for life from using adsense henceforth.

Never click on anything that is your own Google-anything, and if you do - let them know immediately. Tell them it was an accident and let them know exactly when you did it.

yes you can.. because you are not clicking any of the ads and are not getting any revenue from the ads while searching.. you are just using a simple google search with your ads displayed in the results.. so there is no problem in searching via your own search code Unless you click your own ads

You can always do the search test as long as you don't click the ads that appear on top of the search results. However, it would be wise to limit the number of times you can repeat doing the same thing. Google is very strict, so please be careful.

I do not want to, even if you insist, if you on a computer completely new and different then the IP address of your application with login access and AdSense. It is precisely in the TOS that this is not allowed. I cannot.
