Anyone tried to manipulate info collected by Adsense JS codes?

It is not difficult to change what adsenes js code can collect. It is NOT to force clicks, but to feed planned info into adsense. It is NOT to keyword stuffing. I am talking about remove, insert, change the value of Referrer (client side), Location (client side), Time Stamp (server side)

I am not sure it is againt TOS, but everything can be done outside of Adsense's codes. There is no change in how click, new window goes (they are againt TOS), but it can change how Smart Pricing will be calculated (TOS does not cover this).

No. Because we have better things to do.

I guess you are not a victim of Smart Pricing, and you don't know they discount 50% to 80% of your earnings (per click).

Every month our revenues are steadily increasing -- even after the announcement of smart pricing. Whether it is due to smart pricing or not, we think our strategy of improving and diversifying content is enough to combat any adverse impact of Smart Pricing. Contrary to what others may think here, smart pricing do not always result in a decline in revenues -- it can increase revenues as well.

We intend to continue to focus on our strategy -- instead of trying to manipulate info collected by Adsense JS codes. Afterall, there ARE better things that you can do to improve your revenues. Your plan of manipulating the info sent to G sounds like a desperate maneuver to me. Moreso given the fact that "smart pricing" is such a vague concept that no one outside of G really knows what it means -- and what variables trigger it.

Smart Pricing, through undisclosed means, adjusts the value of clicks based on a number of factors such as time of day, type of content and conversion tracking

Since your site is still open 24 hours a day it's either about the type of content on your site, or the quality of your visitors, or factors beyond your control (advertiser budgets). Sort out one, or the other, or both.
