Does anyone know how I can disable my adsense skyscraper on my customized search results page without the ad unit disappearing? I tried removing my pub id but, when i do, the entire ad unit disappears. I need to have myself or a web designer work on the page without accidentally generating invalid clicks while still being able to see where the ad unit is. What can I substitute for my pub id so the ad unit will still appear? thanks.
Use ca-test. I made a php script to automatically do this. Just simply do an IP (or cookie) check of the visitor.
