Does Adsense Impressions count go up while developing pages with Adsense on them?

When I'm developing/designing my pages I usually copy and paste an existing page, then work on the new page. This page will have had Adsense on it. Obviously, while you develop pages you view them many, many times. What I would like to know is would my number of impressions go up every time I refresh my developing page - even though its on my local PC? If so, is there a way of temporarily disabling the Ads while I'm in the process of developing/changing the page? I dont want to artificially put my impression count up and I dont really want to keep taking the Adsense on/off every time I do development work.

Cheers.

Another thing you want to be careful about... you don't want Adsense to get your page's content wrong, either, right?

I mean, it'll only be wrong for a while... but if you're using a boilerplate page of HTML from your "zebras" website as you start work on your "giraffes" web site, you also don't want the Adsense bot's first read of the page to say, "oh, geez, this page is about "zebras..." and then show ads about zebras to people who come to the giraffes site

I confess that I really don't do much adsense any more... but I remember that I used to think this was an issue... or at least it was the sloppy way I worked...

 

just remove the pub id while developing the page.. That will do.

 

My site may as well have Ads about Zebras!! LOL. It doesnt seem to put too many relevent Ads on it. e.g. I have some pages on Motorolla bluetooth headsets - so what does Adsense show? .... It shows ads about AC/DC motors and motor windings etc!!!! Arrrrrrrhh!!!! lol

 

Thats a great idea!!! Didnt think of that!!!!
Of course, I can do a quick search/replace to temporarily change the pub id while I develop, then change it back when I'm done.

Thanks for that.

 

yes you will be increasing the impression count if you are using live adsense while developing your website or blog... pub id can be removed so that you get live ads but I'm still scared using that method as it still has your ad code etc (i.e. in the new adsense code)

so I use the adsense ad images https://www.google.com/adsense/static/en_US/AdFormats.html as placeholders for real adsense ads while developing the website... for example see one of my websites techpulse[DOT]in which is under construction

and when the site is ready just replace the image codes with that of adsense code problem solved

Neat idea.

 

thats why ist important not put put your adsense code till the site is done. if you need to update/edit pages which could cause large number of impressions, remove your pub id till you are done

 

Just install "web developer toolbar" and disable javascript and you are done

 

Its always better to be offline when you devlop pages add contents.

 

Cheers guys, good ideas there.

 

Yes, you increase the number of impressions that way.

There is an official code by Google you can put and use for testing purposes where you can view and click the ads safely. Search for one or two of my last messages in the Adsense forum to get the code (I don't have it handy where I am now).

I've found another cool solution to this issue.
If you go to:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc

and open up your Hosts file, and put this line in:

127.0.0.1 pagead2.googlesyndication.com


all ads will not be displayed when you view your pages on your local webserver.
