Thread: Weird. Do you use Allowed Sites at all?

Google is not recording all impressions and clicks from your adsense ads on unauthorized sites. I thought at first, great, now no jerk can jeopardize my adsense account in any way so I went for it. But after 2 or 3 weeks or so, I found just now some sites ARE showing my ads without permission. Those are the sites:

64.233.179.104
search.aol.com
images.google.co.kr

Weird. Why are they showing my ads?


BTW, do you think it's useful to use the Allowed Sites feature at all?

Is this adsense or adwords?

It sure sounds like Adwords.

Anyway, I recently made use of the "allowed sites" feature in Adsense, I don't see anything negative from using it, and I feel safer that way, sites I sold didn't take my Adsense off and I don't like that, so I basically have the option of blocking them this way.

Why do you do that, isn't it great everybody just put on Adsense ads with your pub id on it.

Because then I am responsible for their content and risk being banned should they do something against the Adsense TOS while having my publisher ID up, not worth it to me for a few dollars and cents, I'd rather make my own, the way it's meant to be, that is why.

Absolutely! It's another handy way of monitoring and preventing abuse with your ID. I definitely recommend it!

Never used it...
