Suspended by Google AdSense for just one click

And now WA won't publish this post because it says the conent is not unique. Not sure how to get around this because I definitely haven't posted this anywhere else.

Not having a good day, technology-wise. What I'm trying to post about is this:

Bother. Without thinking, I clicked on a Google AdSense ad on my own site. It was something I was genuinely interested in, an provider of some sort and after I'd clicked it I thought "oh dear, but just one click won't hurt, surely?"

This morning I received notice from AdSense that my account is suspended for 30 days.

The obvious lesson here: think about what you're clicking on your own site!
Hope this warning helps someone else not get banned.
