One of my site reviews widgets. Sometimes, an advertizer appears that sells fake widgets. Obviously, I would like to filter the store's URL. But many of my leaderboard ads don't show the target URL. Clicking on the ads myself would yield in invalid clicks. Since AS is my main income source, I do not want to jeopardize my account. How to go about this? Suggestions?
If you view the source using Firefox, you can actually view the URL it goes to, but it's tricky. Take your time to exame the JS file that it is being sourced to. And yes, clicking on your own ads would lead to termination of your account per AdSense TOS.
Thanks for the input. However, when I view the JS file, I get a bunch of complex Javascript functions, and no URLs.
in Firefox, I tried, right click on the add, and This Frame --> View Frame source. that shows all the adds and urls. Try it out.
