So I noticed a lot of traffic was coming from a site I've never heard of. I checked it out and my link was in big bold letters, sitewide. That was a few weeks ago, it's still up. Today, I checked my AdSense account and blocked sites and there was ANOTHER site with my link on their site but they're also using my AdSense code. I wouldn't really mind but these sites don't really comply with the AdSense guidelines. They're proxies. Is reporting the sites good enough to keep me from getting banned?
Yes, you should report them to adsense' support team asap. How are they using your ad code when they're blocked anyways?
Well, if you look into it - clicks and impressions aren't counted if someone is using your code - and is listed under the "blocked urls".
It will count once they're unblocked. And a blocked URL on my end is not necessarily blocked for someone else.
I can't understand why someone would want to put someone else's code on their page. Do they really think the ads are soo relevant that they're an asset to the content of their page?
Change your allowed sites ASAP and contact google. That is why I never reveal any of my sites on forums like this.
Putting it under allowed sites will continue to allow them to run my code, causing me to get banned. Like I said, it's a proxy. To get me banned. I'm guessing this person isn't a fan.
What if they are your biggest fans and they want you to earn more If I were in their place I would have given paypal cash instead of stealing adsense code !!!
Buddy what if Jerelene gets banned from Adsense . What will happen then . So better to report this matter as soon as to google so that they will not flag your adsense account .
