Adsense Tracking

Possible clicks from company ip address

[Edge]

My last day in my corporate job is tommorrow. I have finally (after 5 years), told everybody what I'm doing and my url. I have checked my adsense stats from my work computer for about a year.

My concern is that alot of folks from my corporate workplace will probably checkout my site and may click on some of the adsense ads. I hope this does not cause any problems with me and adsense...

Just for the record, my website is actualy a compliment to my corporate job in that, many of the ads are applicable to my corporate associates needs.

Feedback?

If they're coming in on the same IP that you used to access your control panel and start clicking on ads it probably will raise the fraudulent clicks flag.

I would recommend that you either pull AdSense from the site for a bit, or cloak and serve AdSense free pages when requested by your offices IP block.

Why don't you just e-mail G and tell them exactly what you have told us? If they are fair then the worst they will do is discount all the clicks made from that IP address. Alternatively why don't you just disable the IP address from being clicked via the control panel?

Oops. Sorry. You can't do that with adsense easily. Was getting confused with one of the competitors where you can.

On a completely different matter. How long do you get to edit your own post on this forum.

This is the reason why only 2 people at work know about my website and they have both been instructed under penalty of death not to click the ads.

If your pages are already parsed for a server-side scriptinng language of choice, it'd take a mere few minutes to do what trillianjedi suggests... write/use a script that will prevent the displaying of AdSense if the IP matches one from the workplace.

Well, I wrote the adsense team and gave them the heads up. I included the ip address, company name address etc. and, asked them for suggestions.

I hope hear from them soon.
