So today I open adsense and have all these impression like 700 and have no idea on what site they could be. any ideas on how to figure this out
Try a free tracker for your site. It will show what search engines and terms and websites that send hits.
maybe i didnt make this clear...my URL channel is not showing me what site all the hits are for....i have all my sites listed in there are like 700 more impressions and 2 clicks, from where i don't know
maybe you can try "Allowed Sites" in "Adsense Setup" tab. Put all the sites that you know you put adsense on, and you will get a report on the sites that giving you impressions but not in you list.
i have every site i have adsense on listed...i have no idea where impressions are coming from....its up to 1200
ok i am not explaining the correctly in my adsense account it show i have 2k impressions today my url channels only can account for 225 it is not my site traffic generating these impressions how can i tell what site my pub id is on if it isn't on one i put it on.
I think I understand what you mean. These impressions are not magically generated, they are probably coming from one site where you forgot to delete the code.
but it should still appear with my url channels and it doesn't. i have every domain i own listed in my url channel and these impressions are not listed with them....it is like my pub id is on some unknown URL
so you are listing all your domains in "URL CHANNEL" right? DId you try listing also all your domains in "ALLOWED SITES"? just like my previous comment
yes i did that....all my impressions and clicks from the unknown went away so i still don't know where it is coming form thanks
i don't think the impressions are from any of my sites. I have ALL of my sites listed as URL channels. They do not register these extra impressions.
What happens if someone else put his code on their website or blog by accident - could that do it? Like if you took my code, and put it on your webpage, would it clear google's computers and give me the credit even though your site provided the traffic?
i second that. All extrenal tracking method are BS and not reliable. Only adsense can tell you whats happening with your account. Trust google first before running to other tracking services.
