I want to look at my website's pages (for setting adsense ad)

[sim20]

Hi,

I want to look at my website's all pages for setting adsense ad in proper place and width and at the same time i don't want to count my click as impression in my google adsense account. How?

If this was discussed earlier then sorry but i can't find that thread.

I simply use a div set to the AdSense color and size instead of the AS code when I'm playing with page layout. Then I finish production on the page, viewing it dozens of times without worrying about building false impressions.

When all's done, I swap the empty div for one containing the AS code.

Others around here have other approaches to this issue. Tey all work just fine.

Of course you can do this. Google expects webmasters to look at their own pages to make sure that they work / show the right ads etc. You can look at your pages as often as you like AFAIK. What you cannot do is to click on the ads.

If you want to see where the ad ends up, the best way is to use the adsense preview tool. If the ad shows up in that, then you simply click on it to go to the ad, and Google don't count that as a click. That's why they provide us with the tool.

If the preview tool doesn't show the ad, then go to your site, right click the ad and choose COPY SHORTCUT. Then open a new browser window and paste the copied cut into the url bar. Remove all the crap before and after the url target and view the landing page that way.

Thanks for reply.

I just want to see that how google ads look at my website's all pages and is there any change need with its size?

If without clicking google ads is it against TOS to view my website's own pages?

Where i find google preview tool?

Open up Adsense and click on the HELP link. You should see a link to the preview tool halfway down the column of links on the left.

I look at my own pages all the time, whether I'm working locally or viewing my site on the Web.

I doubt if Google worries about "false impressions" unless there's reason to believe that something suspicious is afoot (e.g., running up significant numbers of impressions on a site that has site-targeted CPM ads, or boosting impressions dramatically to mask fraudulent clicks).

Rename it back to a .REG file and then double-click it to insert into the directory (assuming you're using Windows).

Use the below setting in your AdSense code.

google_adtest='on';
