Ad Sensing

Say you ask someone (not forcefully) to click on your ads, and google adsense finds out and sends you a cheque or whatever, can you go to jail for it? thanks!
But it’s one of the terms of signing up to google adsense and then google adsense sends you a cheque but you’ve been asking people to click your ads which go against the terms, doesn’t that result in going to prison or whatever? like what consequences are there? and what if you’re under 18?

Unless you are going to click away on your own computer they can’t prove anything, it’s outside your control and if they took you to court they could easily lose and have all the bad publicity to go with it. You are too small a fish for them to fry in a big way. My own account got disabled by them, I had a moderatlety successful blog and youtube and had some success with ads later too, so they thought/decided I was cheating the system as they have done to many people, some I know. One friend was disabled and accused of cheating when he had only had an account a couple of days and earned less than a single dollar! They seem to rely on a computer not people, so much for the ‘meticulous inspection’ that caused it.
They say that all revenue waiting to be paid from your account will be returned to the advertisers affected….but hey, this could have taken months to build up and that will be the case for tens (hundreds? ) of thousands of people…they will have earned a lot of interest while it was sat there and no doubt have kept it. Also, many advertizers will have gone out of business or at least not have an account anymore. Google appear to be using small people as dispensable pawns to show how ‘thorough’ google is to big time advertisers and publishers..
They are a dirty business, treat them like one, and earn a buck of them while you can!
