IP vs domain name in link

[binary1000]

FYI for some of you that are saying you see nothing but PSA ads, I just noticed that if the URL uses the site IP address and not the qualified domain name, PSAs are served up. I tried this on all our popular pages. So make sure that all referenes and links DO NOT use IP addresses and use only the domain(s) you registered with Google in the search engine when you submitted your pages.

I had no problem getting good adsense ads on an IP domain. The domain name transfer got delayed for a week during setup but the ads came through fine.

[example.com...] and [192.168.0.1...] are different URLs. Google may have spidered one and not the other. Hence it's not surprising they show different ads.

I am also getting ads on IP domain.

Check the IP address once Mediabot visits, and you'll have ads.

It's because Google sees it as a whole new domain, and needs to spider it.

It seems to me that it's similar to how www.widgets.com and widgets.com are spidered separately by the AdSense bot.

It's exactly the same thing. www.domain.com, domain.com and ****.xx.xxx.xx are all treated as separete domains by G-Mediabot. So the bot revists each page before loading up the new ads.

BTW, this is because lots of sites use different extensions to serve up different content (ie, www.domain.com is in english, but fr.domain.com is is french and es.domain.com is in spanish), so Google treats all variations as potentially different sites.
