I believe Google has systems in place to detect when a suspicious number of ad clicks are coming from one location. And if they suspect you are clicking your own links, they’ll likely terminate your account.

I’m guessing it probably is definitely against google’s adsense policy. Why not read their guidelines?

Well, let’s take a look at the AdSense Program Policies (to which you agreed to abide when you joined the AdSense program) and see what it says. Hey, here’s the line:
“Please note that clicking on your own ads for any reason is prohibited.”
Can’t be any clearer. Clicking ads on your own sites is a quick and easy way to get banned.
Oh, and just a bit further it also says:
“… publishers may not request that users click the ads on their sites or rely on deceptive implementation methods to obtain clicks.”
Don’t click your ads, don’t ask anyone else to click your ads.

well would it be illegal if I clicked yours a lot and you clicked mine a lot? There are no rules against that!
