    I'm using the allowed sites feature in Adsense, I think everybody should use it to protect their account. I didn't bother to check this part in my account after I had setup my allowed URLs. Today when I saw it I was surprised to see a number of URLs appearing under "Unauthorized Sites" - i.e. sites that has been using my adsense codes that I hadn't allowed. Here is a part of the list:

    209.85.129.132
    74.125.93.104
    74.125.77.132
    72.14.235.132
    74.125.95.132
    64.233.183.132
    74.125.47.132
    209.85.171.104
    127.0.0.1
    64.233.169.132
    209.85.135.132

    Most of these URLs take you to Google's search page. Now why on earth google is displaying adsesne ads with my pub-id? Anybody else noticed this thing?

    Another surprising URL among the others was stumbleupon.com. What's happening?

    Google is unfair then, why would Google put your pub id/Ads on someone's site, and you make money from their sites? Google doesn't has authority to do that. But this is strange and I don't know anything about it.
    Go to those sites, check their Ads and find the pup id if it is your.

    Oh yes they do! Don't forget that Google owns Adsense and what they say goes. They don't owe anything to you, they've setup a program that makes them money and you volunteered to help them for a % of their profits. As far as Adsense goes, Google have the authority to do whatever it wants.

    This is probably because when people view your cache on google results, your ads will show there. That's technically on google's IP. Nothing to worry about. :)

    It happens with everybody. Because many people searching for you land up on Google's cache which in turn show your ads.
    You can move these IP's to Allowed sites.

    Yes.. I'm also using the Google Allowed sites feature. I also see lots of those ip's daily in my account. If those ip's belong to google..you can add those to allowed sites.

    It would be hard to manage this list if you run 50+ sites and also blogger, knol, hubpages and so on :)

    Does that mean when visitors click on ads while viewing through google's cache, these clicks don't count? I might be losing money :(
