They do. I use it and find it a good Adsense competitor.

outside the u.s.? i don't think so. at least in my country i'm directed to "bing ads", which appears to only serve to advertisers who are supposed to advertise on the "yahoo/bing network" - anyway not intended for publishers. any clarification on this?

@varun21: first of all, why do you have such a complicated framebuster script? this line for example suffices: if (top.location!=self.location) {top.location.replace('/');}

A simple framebuster caused this problem? That's scary!

i second that. google could simply filter out the page views from the concerned ip like they do in other cases. script triggered bugs like that shouldn't be a problem at all.

@incredibill:

I'm not buying this story because a framebuster should execute before AdSense is loaded and displayed

well, i'm not sure. i get an alert in my adsense tool every other day that tells me that ads have been displayed on not authorized websites and that i should authorize these websites.
most of the time, the unauthorized site is: translate.googleusercontent.com

so these must definitely be users visiting my site by clicking the translate option in the serps, which actually shouldn't be logged by adsense if you were right. strangely enough, at least from time to time random users seem to log translate.googleusercontent.com before triggering my framebuster script, which is installed on every page.

however, since i haven't authorized translate.googleusercontent.com for good reasons and therefore it doesn't contribute to my earnings, i think it shouldn't be a problem.

@varun21: how about you, do you have allowed only your website to display ads or don't you have restricted ad display at all? that would be another issue to investigate. you can select that option in your publisher tool.
