Blocking your own adsense ads

I seem to recall a thread where someone came up with a good way to make it so adsense ads weren't displayed on their browsers. I can't remember if it was IP based, or cookie based or what. I know better than to click on our ads, but we share one IP address in our office between about 20 computers and users. I'd rather block them than not.

I was hoping the functionality was in phpAdsNew but I can't seem to find it there either.

Thanks

There are several ways of doing this:

1. In your HOSTS file, add the following entry:

127.0.0.1 googlesyndication.com

2. If using IE, add the following entry to your restricted sites zone:

*.googlesyndication.com

(Just make sure everything is disabled for this zone, especially JavaScript)

 

if you use firefox, there is a plugin for it

 

I was hoping for a server side solution, because I don't want to have to make changes to all the computers in our office

 

I wrote a simple php script that places a table of the same dimensions as the ad with border turned on. I do this by checking to see if the client IP address matches either my home or work IP address.

If you know something about php this is very easy to do. I would assume you could do the same with javascript, but then you would be potentially letting the world know your IP addresses...
