Do you allow external sites (regarding SEs mainly) to display/count your ads/clicks?

    Hi all,
    I was wondering if you allow the big search engines to display & also count the clicks on your ads. I mean do you put them in the "allowed sites"?

    This question comes to me as I receive some good traffic from images and also from G. translations of my pages, but I've limited my ads only to the URLs of my own sites. So the clicks (if any) when a visitor is on a particular URL - google for example might click on my ads in the frame where the image is or the frame of the translated version, but it wont count...

    Anybody any experience or suggestions? Would it be safe to allow at least the 3 biggest SEs to count the clicks?

    Thanks in advance all :)

    Sorry but what's the problem with not allowing them to count the clicks? Sorry I'm confusing.

    I, myself limited my Publisher ID to be included (active) only on my own sites, that's why if someone put my code on his site the clicks from there wont count as such..not sure even if they will show up...
    The same is valid for search engines as they are also not in my "allowed URLs" list.

    My question was did someone tried to allow google, yahoo and bing to display his/her adsense code.

    It's big three, but it's more than 3 sites you have to allow...google.ch, google.es, google.co.uk, etc etc I have allowed a few of Google's to show them.

    Thanks for the answer!

    You are very right - I did not express my self correct. I was referring mainly to google for the different countries, especially co.uk, plus yahoo and bing.
    I'll give it a try one by one...although I have pretty low CTR I am afraid this could really boost it and I do not end to finish with a banned account....not at this exact time...

    Thanks again,
    Cheers
