Clicking Your Own Adsens Ad's

I Received and e-mail this morning from James regarding Adsense click fraud, (Clicking your own ads'),

The question read:

 I recently joined the Adsense program and was looking on the net for some more 
information regarding revenue etc. And I found a few topics about people being banned 
from adsense from clicking their own ad's, Is this the case? Personally i think that 
there could be some circumstances where legit clicks could happen, Such as a topic im 
interested in on my own site. What's the case on this?

To sum it up in my shortest answer, NEVER click your own ad's,Many people HAVE been kicked from the Adsense program, Google are very strict on clicking your own ad's, Even if it was for a legit cause, Recently they where legally in trouble for click-fraud so they are taking this kind of thing very seriously, If you see an ad on your site and want to follow the link, I'd recommend you take note of the ad name and find the site in the ad using google.

I've always had a habit of checking the URL of a site for "phishing" tell tale signs, and it only takes a second, so I taught i'd share my habit with the rest of you. First what is phishing? Well phishing is where you are brought to a site that looks legit, lets say google adsense, and you sign in with your username and password, but in fact the site is a phishing site and you have just given your adsense details to someone without even knowing it.
