    i setup adsense on my blog but i am afraid some one from my house [ my brother or sister ] will visit my website from my computer and google will ban my account because of wrong impression.
    what can i use? and how to stop my website to load on my computer?
    thanks

    Impressions from your house are OK, it's clicking that's illegal. They will show up in your stats though, so you might want to use something else to track if you don't want your results skewed.

    First of all, you have violated the cardinal golden rule of Adsense:
    Do not tell your friends and family about your website(s)!

    So now you have to deal with how to protect yourself from your family trying to "help" you. Since Adlogger is dead you'll have to find another click-tracker, or a php script that will not show ads to your IP - if your IP changes often this might be difficult. You can also block all ads on your computer with AdBlocker or by putting a few entries in the HOSTS file on your PC.. Search around the forums, there are several posts on how to do this.

    Hi, if you are using Windows, maybe you should alter your host file. If you need help, just holler :)
    In Windows XP the path to your hosts file is something like
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc
    open the "hosts" file with your notepad program and add this to your file and click save and close it.
