I accidentally ran a link checker on a site with adsense units.

[Shiznaught]

I used xenu's link checker to check my new site for broken links. I am not sure if it actually clicked any google ads since it's all javascript, and my google stats don't show any clicks. Should I be worried at all, and if so should I email google?

Relax :)

Xenu has 'xenu' all over the agent string - they will know it was a bot automatically and discount any clicks that may have happened. I doubt it even reached a human for evaluation, and from memory I don't think xenu follows JS anyway, which would mean that the ads weren't clicked.

So, yes, relax :)

I did the same yesterday.

If you look at the Report, all the adsense links have 'access forbidden' on them.

When I use xenu to check links it always "times out" on the ads. :)
