I think I am a bit paranoid.
No kidding. Dude, calm down. This kind of thinking will get you a stroke if you plan on staying in this biz. :D
P.S. Posting the same thread in 4 different forums is certainly a bad way to start things of. Use some common sense, man.
Also, Adsense recently allowed up to three ads per page (where only one was allowed before). I added an extra ad to a few of my pages (not that many) so that contributed to more impressions. And as you can imagine, many publishers probably added additional ads to all of their pages, which would have (possibly) tripled their impressions immediately. Somehow I doubt that they all contacted Google about this.
So I'm trying to tell you that no, I wouldn't worry about it if I were you.
you are being too paranoid.
I think that, effectively, I am a bit paranoid.
As to webmastertexas, what did you mind with the
"Posting the same thread in 4 different forums is certainly a bad way to start things of"?
Did you mind the AdWords=AdSense+Affiliate revenue treat?
I have searched a lot and couldn't find anything on the net, so I asked it several times.
Whishes
some webmasters here add thousands of pages per day, and its all good
It's called "spamming". Live and learn. The mods were nice and didn't ban you. I would have.
Don't overlook this little nugget of gold buried amongst the squabble.
I think when it comes to most things related to Google, people are so paranoid/afraid/terrified of getting kicked out that just about every thing gets blown into something major. I'm reminded of a thread I made a long while back about how Google has put the fear of God into their publishers (rather purposely, for accidentally, or incidentally). Of all the affiliates out there, Google is the only one with publishers who live constantly with the fear of getting cut off. Very, very unhealty (for publishers) if you ask me.

Then all impressions won't be registered to your account.
same here
>>if you are testing a page, can't you just change this parameter to something else?
valid point but why bother, because
when i test a site locally (127.0.0.1) i sometimes have the adsense code turned on and can run up 100's and even 1000's of impressions (although the ads show as psa's in this case)
when my site:
goes live
or is a new site with very few links yet
or is a very niche site with very little traffic
then my own use of my own site can easily double the page impressions for that site for a day.
there is every reason to be sensible with google because as a small content publisher adsense is the easiest way to earn some money from your pages,
... so their rules should be very much respected and adhered to, but for now looking at your own pages is allowed! and quite rightly so.
>>if I should contact Google AdSense informing them that the increased impressions of my web web site are because I added content and tested that it was all OK.
assuming you are not running through multiple proxies and deleting your google cookies, google already can tell that it is you who is landing on your own pages, so there would be no need to tell them anyway.
I am new to this I have written a website with about thirty pages. While submitting to the big G I saw adsence, registered and add to all pages immediately.
In teaching myself how to write the main web site I created a site for my dad which is on a different sever I have added the same adsence code to that web site too (seem to work).
Is this OK
And what are channels?
Thank You
Is this OK<<
Yes. Adsense allows you to add your code to as many pages as you want, as many sites, as long as you have the right to do so.
>>And what are channels? <<
It's Adsense's method for you to keep track of how specific sites perform. You create a "channel" in their control panel, then add that specific string of Adsense code to a page you want to keep track of. When you check your stats, the site with channels indicated will have their own individual stats, so you can see how specific sites/adsense codes perform. Read up on their site if you're still not sure. It's relatively simple to understand.
One reason is that you can artificially set your ctr. Another is that Google may set a minimum impressions to keep accounts active.
True, but only LOWER. Is there an advantage to a lower CTR? (or a higher one for that matter?) Plus without knowing exactly how many other visitors entered and in real time, or more importantly, how many others clicked already, you couldn't set it very accurately.
Probably not, but there are a lot of threads that state "oh no my CTR is very high" and none that state "oh no my CTR is very low".
For some reason some publishers are concerned about their CTR, whether or not Google is concerned is unknown.
But I think that Google would not be in favor of publishers getting false impressions to lower it.
If I just checked my stats and I see one of my sites had 50 impressions and 50 clicks not sure it would be a good idea to go and make a quick 500 impressions to lower my ctr from 100% to 10%.
