*The Forum Rules.
Yep, rules. Read 'em. Abide by 'em. Or your sea creature powers may be revoked. Temporarily, or for good.
1. New to the lounge? Get started here. Learn which category to post your note in, and create a forum signature.
2. Spam: just don't do it. Thou also shalt not fill the forums with multiple threads on the same topic or sockpuppet.
3. Thou shalt not flame, harass, denigrate, spam, malign, or otherwise finger-point and name-call at ANYONE. This one's a biggy. This too can get you banned.
4. Squidstaff love interacting with smart front-line people, so they stop by the forums from time to time to hear your ideas and share updates. However, this isn't the place to post bugs or solicit admin action. Please send those requests through our feedback link.
5. The SquidU forum is a place for users to interact, to share ideas and inspiration (and yes, gripes... maybe another lensmaster can help) and have fun with their lenses. Try searching for an answer or visiting The Answer Deck.

I have AdSense on my own sites, and I know it is against the rules for me to click on them. I figured since I'm not actually the name on the Google ads here, that it would be OK, but I didn't until I could ask. Don't want to screw anything up.
Can I safely click on the Google ads on my own Lens or the Lenses of others?

Excellent question!
I think if you're logged out of Squidoo there's no real way for them to know if it's you or not.
Sounds like a Heath or Gil question.

Because of the way our PayRank system works, you are not individually rewarded (significantly) for clicking on your own links. We do this to help curb click fraud. Per our terms of service, please refrain from clicking on ads on your own lenses unless you are legitimately interested in the offer.
Thanks,

Gil, I've been meaning to tell you, you gotta do something about that picture of yours. Looks a little (a lot actually) like a mug shot.
Just here to call it like I see it... :-)

About Gil's mugshot or about the PayRank question?
Just Kidding.
