Is there a way to exclude my own hits (traffic from my ip) from adsense's "Page impressions Clicks Page CTR Page eCPM" stats? I'm on my site a lot and my own traffic distorts the accuracy of the stats. I guess I could code the site so that adsense ads don't show when I'm viewing the page, but I like to see the ads so I can check on relevency. Anything in the google adsense admin that allows you to exclude your own traffic?
You are using adsense revenue sharing on your community. This should not show member's own ads to themselves when they are logged in to avoid invalid click activity. If it provide this feature which is necessary for adsense revenue sharing sites then your adsense stats will not change if you surf your site while you are logged in.
Hi momi, True, I have a system where members are not shown their own ads if they are logged in... but I am the admin and it (currently) does not apply to me. I may change that... it sure seems like google would have a system to exclude a site owner's ip from the stats (and clickthrus), eh? Something that could be set in the adsense account management.
