    Happy New Year To All!

    I have an Adsense account and use it on my sites.

    Last week I became an affiliate of XYZ Company and placed their link on a couple of my sites.

    That same afternoon… I noticed their company ads advertising on the same sites that I placed their text link on.

    I imagine that they are Adsense users too. But is there any way to tell whether those ads are part of my Adsense account or theirs?

    I do realize that even if the ads belong to my affiliate company… that I’ll still get paid for clicks. But I rather get paid the affiliate commission :)

    Thanks for your time.

    you could add their url in adsense's competitive ad filter, so that your adsense won't display any ad from that company, so you'll get all affiliate commission from your visitors.

    If you want to find out who's ads they are, right click on the page, click view source. Find the location of the ads on the page (in a javascript block), and locate the account ID.... I think it starts with UA (not sure, can't check at the moment), then compare that to your own account ID.
