I am designing a site, and I am using Adsense for the first time. So far the site gets absolutely no visitors because it's still being worked on. But everytime I edit something I always goto the page and refresh to see how the updates work out.
Doing this for 100+ times a day so far and Google Adsense is picking it up as page impressions, but I have yet to click anything and have yet to earn anything from my self-impressions, I am just wondering surely other people are doing the samething, so I shouldn't worry about having my account closed now, or later on?

If you still feel concerned about those impressions, you could simply create a sub-domain (it's usually free) that you use as an alias and that you keep for yourself and that you use only during your test sessions. Then, in your pages, you can program a domain name detection that would echo the Google code only when the site is accessed from the regular domain name.

When I work locally (localhost), I do the same detection.
