I got the referral link of http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/ads?client=other-client_id. The ID is not mine. What is this exactly? Does this mean somebody have my feed and send the traffic to my site? Is Adsense or Adword sending this? Has anybody seen this before? Thanks. Ken
See it all the time, it just means that someone got to your site using an Adsense for Search query on someone else's site. Nothing to worry about.
Going through my files what I get is slightly different. More like: http://www.google.com/custom?q=SEARCHTERM=Search&client=pub-SOMEID-etc-etc Do you have any Adwords ads out for your site? I do get the googlesyndication ones showing up, but they are more likely malformed referrals from browsers that don't understand the code or from screwy robots that try to follow things they shouldn't.
No I don't have any adword for my site at all. My initial thinking was "is this feeds generated traffic". Because I am seeing some $ in my adsense account were not counted for.
