Admob displaying advertisement in my application in my device in android will disable my account?

Question

I have created and application and installed it in my own mobile also. It contains ads from admob. It shows advertisements when I use it. So will it disable my account from admob. I have not clicked on any ads they are simply displaying.

Please Help

Answer 1

You only really risk disabling your account if the ads are clicked on. They have a system in place to test your app with dummy ad units, so you can make sure it actually works to click on them.

Answer 2

I have not clicked on any ads they are simply displaying.

No, it will not disable your account if you are using the app genuinely and take care not to click on the ad intentionally with an intent of generating more revenue.

Better keep your device added as a test device in your code when you create the ad request so that even accidental clicks are not considered. That way you are safe as admob will always render test ads to this device.

AdRequest request = new AdRequest.Builder()
    .addTestDevice(AdRequest.DEVICE_ID_EMULATOR)        // All emulators
    .addTestDevice("AC98C820A50B4AD8A2106EDE96FB87D4")  // An example device ID
    .build();
