Are AdSense Trackers OK to use?

If you're not modifying the code, or trapping the clicks or changing the way ads are processed, it should be all right to implement a click-counter script like the ones suggested. Do be careful not to change the ad code without realizing it, though.

How can I view my ads with out clicking them?

If you are using Windows and the Internet Explorer browser, you can download the Google AdSense preview tool. More information is available at: http://www.google.com/support/adsense/bin/topic.py?topic=160 If you are not using Windows or do not have access to the Internet Explorer browser, you can view the destination URL of ads appearing on your site by following the instructions on: http://www.google.com/support/adsense/bin/answer.py?answer=9876 If you use these tips, you can set your mind at ease when you want to view the ads appearing on your site.

Should I be worried about all the accounts disabled for invalid clicks reports?

I've noticed there seems to be concern surrounding accounts disabled for invalid clicks. We have not made any significant changes to our monitoring system recently, and would like to reassure publishers that we value our relationships with you. However, sometimes it is necessary to disable some publisher accounts to maintain the quality of the network and ensure the long-term viability of the program. We have strict policies and guidelines for invalid clicks. However, each escalated case is re-reviewed by a team dedicated to detecting invalid activity using several specialized tools and a wide variety of techniques. Generally, this action is reserved for deliberate and egregious violations of the ToS and should not affect most of you. In most other cases, we try to work with publishers to comply with our guidelines and improve the results of their AdSense implementation. In all cases, if you notice something suspicious in your account statistics, or if you feel there has been a misunderstanding, please email us.

Will I get terminated for not generating enough clicks or impressions?

While this language is indeed included in the T&C, please note that we have never done this sort of termination

Can Adsense be in pop-ups?

According to AdSense program policies (http://www.google.com/adsense/policies): No Google ad or Google search box may be displayed on any domain parking websites, pop-ups, pop-unders, or in any email. From AdSenseAdvisor... The reason for this policy is that Google believes strongly in providing a positive experience for the user. We have found that pop-ups, pop-unders, etc. take away from the user experience.

Can I have AdSense placed in a newsletter (online) that is accessed by a link in an email to a sites newsletter subscribers?

As long as the newsletter is a live HTML page, you should be able to use AdSense. The ToS apply to newsletters sent out by email (i.e., when the text of the newsletter is pasted into an email). If the email you send out only contains a link to the newsletter page, you should be fine.
