Someone Is Using My Code

    Someone is using my adsense code. I have adsense sent up on 3 of my sites (with a channel for each site) and Friday I have been getting more page impressions and clicks. I have no idea where these page impressions and clicks are coming from. I emailed google and they prettty much said there was nothing they could do.

    ^^ Part of the response I got...

    Is there anything I can do to find where these clicks/page impressions are coming from?

    You can use channels to be sure of what are your own impressions and clicks, and you can search the web for copies of your content, because if someone is copying your content they might be stupid enough to be also using your codes. But hey, if they're making money for you... ;)

    I'm worried about invalid clicks/page impressions.

    Are you in any revenue sharing forums such as DP. I get 100 impressions per day from here, I was even lucky enough to get a click today.

    No, I have channels set up for all my sites. I know someone is using my code because this just started to happen last Friday.

    Stupid question maybe, but did you ever sell a site with adsense ?

    I'm really surprised that G can't do anything about it.
    It really shouldn't be your responsibility if you get banned for something related to this.

    Are you using URL channels or Custom channels? Sometimes, URL channels do not catch all the impressions. For example, if you have your URL channel set to "www.foobar.com" and someone surfs to your site using "foobar.com" (no www), then the impression will not be counted.

    And you did not notice any spike in the awstats or whatever ?
    Are we talking about 100 or 100000 impressions here ?

    I am using URL Channels

    Yes, I have emailed google about it already. Please check my first post

    I didn't notice any spike in awstats. Why would there be spikes in my awstats? 100's of impressions

    sorry, missed that portion.

    did you try contacting them back that you do have all your site's channels set already?

    Because if there was a spike in awstats there would be a spike in adsense impressions.
