AdSense ads blocked when you visit your own site?

response to clicking on ads on your own site/protecting CPM advertisers?

OK, I've started a thread about not seeing AdSense ads on my sites a few hours ago: [webmasterworld.com...] .

Now I'm beginning to speculate that Google might have launched a filter that prevents showing ads to you on your own site.

I noticed that at least on my sites ads are not shown to me.

Also, in AdSense reports I see that impressions and clicks (and revenue ;)) continue to add up. So what?

I normally use browser A. Now I opened browser B, deleted its cache and cookies and visited my page. Ads are missing in browser B, too.

So, if the above speculations are true, blocking ads is not based on cookies, it might be based on IP numbers or IPs and some patterns?

Haven't checked on this board what Google's answer would be to CPM ads showing on our own sites. Maybe this way Google could respond to this one, too (besides clicking on ads on webmaster's own site)?

thoughts?

No, I'm seeing ads on my own site and I surf with a fixed IP.

What you're experiencing sounds more like a bug to do with regional settings or something.

No chance.

Webmasters would flock from AdSense to other progams if they tried to do that.

You cannot manage a site if you can't even see what is showing on it.

Edited: Sorry, no need for volunteers. Just checked with an anon web service, and ads don't show

Hope you aren't in the early stages of bannishment, that would suck.

Try accessing your site via a third party anonymous surfing site like The Cloak and see if you can see the ads then. Sometimes IPs get stuck in your computer when Google shifts from server to server and you may just need to reboot to flush any cached DNS entries, happens from time to time.
