Do you code to turn off Ads while site is in development?

[nkad05]

This is an interesting question I have. So, what do you guys do about your Ads while your working on a site in the development environment. Just curious.

My first thought was to write code to have them disabled, but idk.

I just have them on. My problem is I constantly refresh the pages to check how they look. Adsense records the impressions. Not sure how this works with the "paid immpression" thingy, hopefully its not bad.

I just work on the problem

First approach was to implement a page view in my self written CMS

The page to view is conveerted to _iframe.htm where the ads are deleted.

But this works only by direct viewing a page from the CMS. Clicking on a link, the page appears with ads.

Even worse when offline showing pages, there is always the alert box "No connection to the internet"
2 or 3 times for 1 or 2 ads and the AdLink box.

I just work now on inserting all ads with SSI.

So I can easy view my pages offline

The SSI method gives also the possibility to block ads for certain circumstances.

For example I write several pages about a new widget of company A.

When I visit company A and show the pages, the chief is not to stop to click on ads from his competitiors showing up on my pages.

So I implement in SSI something like

[my_site.com...]

When SSI sees the parameter, "na" no ads to insert
or show some Amazon ads instead of AdSense.

During the design / coding of a site, I use 'graphical ads' to see how they look on the page. Which is: I go to the AdSense sample pages, save the desired ad format's image, and insert that to the page. When I'm done with tweaking, I just replace the code of the image to the AdSense JavaScript.
