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?

I think the Allowed Sites feature would be useful if you can make sure that your ads are displayed where you want them to be. Of course, that takes a good deal of micro-management, and you need to be sure you're up for it.

Yes I do because I don't want my ads to be shown on sites I don't know of.

Good luck with the allowed sites! I hang out in the Google forums and have yet to hear from anyone who is succesful using the feature.

It's mostly for keeping out malicious players who have fun in jeopardizing your adsense account. =)
