My one app with iAds typically earns around 10-50 cents a day. However, some days I will open the app myself and click through the ads to see what they look like. On those days my apps earn me around $3-6 depending how many times I do it. I'm not entirely positive that the extra ad revenue is from JUST me but it sure seems like it. Can I get in trouble for this from Apple? Can they even tell?

I'd say there may be a connection then, the fact that you ask shows you think so as well. I would strongly advise against such practice, understand a certain level of testing etc but they can tell what the device ID of the phone clicking the adds is. You might be OK in short term but long term they'll tell you it is click fraud and at best suspend your dev account!

If it's anything like adsense, R.I.P. your dev account and any earnings! Seriously though, don't be doing stuff like that, it's just not worth the risk.

Thanks for the input. Again, I wasn't doing it on purpose. Just troubleshooting it to make sure it works (and I'm still having issues occasionally with screen turning black) and to see what some of the newer ads look like. I'll stop. Really surprised though that looking at less than ten ads could earn that much? I really need to get people to start clicking ads more!
