adsence question

[stevent37]

Is there anyway for adsence not to count me in the impressions?

Every time I work on my site (about once a week) adsence counts all the impressions it gets when I open and close pages for minor alterations and that makes it hard to track my ctr.

You would have to block ads from being displayed to yourself. The easiest way is to turn off JavaScript.

I add the following to my /etc/hosts file (Windows has it located elsewhere):

127.0.0.1 pagead2.googlesyndication.com

Of course, this bloacks AdSense on all sites, which for me achieves my objectives.

Adding Adsense to your hosts file also avoids the possibility you might click on one of the ads on your site by mistake.

It also prevents you from monitoring what ads are being displayed on your pages.

My solution is to block adsense in Firefox. I occassionally check my site in IE (or Maxthon, which uses the IE engine), which does not block the ads. BTW, a quick lesson I learned the hard way, don't mention the word "donate" anywhere on your site. You don't want to find out what adsense now thinks are relevant ads.

LOL. The mind boggles.

If you have to, put your donation text inside a page that is then included by an IFrame directive in your primary page. I use IFrames for my border content of my pages; none of this text is in the Google index. Plus, the IFrame content loads truly asynchronously, a performance boost.

While Google is still not indexing the text inside an IFrame, but it appears to be indexing the links at times.
