The facts: -A month ago, I registered a new domain and subscribed a new hosting. -As usual, I uploaded a blank index.html page at the root. -15 days after, I uploaded some pages. At that time none of the pages had AdSense scripts. -This week, I uploaded some 70 pages and included AdSense scripts (new channel created) in all of them. -The index.html is still blank. -Nobody knows I'm building a new site. -Yesterday I used the Google Preview Tool to ban some URL's. The funny thing: This morning I checked my Report and found the following: -I have 2000+ Page impressions assigned to the new channel since 3 months ago!!!! -Have got some clicks during July, August, and September before my domain was registered and the pages/channel were created. -Have earned some bucks!!! Of course I have enough AdSense experience and own other sites running AdSense, to risk fraudulent clicks. How comes? Have anyone experienced something like this? I think it is a good idea to save the monthly reports in order to compare results.
Google's bots follow impressions where Adsense ads are- not sure if it checks non-adsense pages on the same domain or not though?
adsense bots and content bots are different. You can get hit by the adsense bot before anything else because they come directly where their JS is called from. -Have got some clicks during July, August, and September before my domain was registered and the pages/channel were created. -Have earned some bucks!!! those are pretty weird though... lol.
Very odd behavior. I've never seen that from adsense. I'm sure it's a bug. Keep us posted if they correct the error or let it slide.
