IS IT OK TO GIVE OUT YOUR GOOGLE CUSTOM SEARCH ID ?

If you stay in the honest path, there is nothing to worry about Adsense. But if you are thinking of using somebody to regularly click on your ads, then you have all the reason to be worried.

Google, with all their PhDs, knows all the tricks publishers have to cheat the program. They will track everything — IPs, patterns of clicks, where you actually log in to check your account, and many more that they will never disclose.
