    For some odd reason, mine (Adlogger) appears to be functioning perfectly! :eek:

    I doubt it's giving the urls of the clicked on sites. It should still indicated clicks, just not on which ads. This is true for any third party tracker. Interestingly enough, I DO still get the terms clicked upon for link units, but not the URLS for ad units.

    Actually, it is also providing me with the list of URLs where the clicks are derived from and the precise time, alongside the individuals' IP addresses. Essentially, it is functioning as it normally would! I understand that this is odd, but several other acquaintances have reported that their AdLogger applications are functioning properly as well. :)

    By derived from, do you mean the URL of the page that the ad was on?

    You're right, and the reason is because previously Google show the URL Ad on status bar when the mouse were over the Ad.
    AdLogger and similar scripts (javascript based) were catching the url reading the status bar, but now the status bar don't show the URL Ad, so that scripts can't catch it.

    Adpubster, simply put - yes! It shows the exact page that the click was earned from under the 'Display Page URL' heading. The last click registered was at 9:05:28 pm on July 6th (roughly two minutes ago) so I know that it's still functioning. I truly wish that I knew why it was still recording this information, but I haven't changed anything and lack the technical expertise to do so. Perhaps someone else could try the software and confirm that it truly is not recording?

    Ah, okay, everyone's should do that, still. My homegrown script does that still. What it does NOT show is the URL of the ad, ie the site that the person goes TO. No one gets to see that, anymore, except for link units :(

    That was the most important part to me and to many others. With a bit of detective work you could root out the low-paying MFA and MFAA sites a LOT easier. Filtering was a lot easier when you could determine that with more certainty, now it's a bit harder because you don't know which sites are being clicked, thus harder to tell the troublesome ones.

    With that feature a list of sites could be generated that I could independently view and see if they were appropriate for my site and whether or not they provided a good "user experience". The ones that didn't likely paid less and probably ticked off my visitors.

    time to find some alternate to this. Adlogger was really helpful. Although it used to show extra clicks but we could find out where the clicks where coming from.

    Understandable, but my sole reason for using AdLogger is to realize the source of any clickbombing activities by outside parties, and contact Adsense with this information accordingly. Given that the script still performs this vital task with superb accuracy, I am completely satisfied with it! :)

    He's said that he's using Adlogger. Adlogger and all the other third parties will still track which page the ad was clicked on, but it will no longer tell you what ad was clicked on.
