Is there a way to check who viewed your google adwords?

    Hi all! I'm new here and I don't know if this has been asked, I tried the search but it didn't show any result. Anyway, my question is that "Is there a way to check who viewed your google ad in adwords?" See, I created an ad in adwords using the PPC and I want to block salesmen or those who will sell me instead of buying from me from clicking my ad. This will help me minimize my cost by blocking them on the front end.
    Thanks for all your help :)

    If you have tracking setup, you can view after they click on your ad, but that's about the only way I know

    There's no way to block your ads being served in any way. You can only find out information about your visitors after the fact such as IP, browser, OS and a few other things.

    Adwords feature I'd like: ability to display ads based on OS and/or browser. I think that should be fairly easily implemented by Google. Blocking by IP however would not.

    The only way you can try to get around this is to use content placements rather than search. If you're concerned about where your ads will show then use content targeting and select the sites your ads will show up on.

    Does need to do a lot of research first the find out which site that running adsense, then write down their URL and then put into my adwords content placements?

    It seems a lot of work!

    You'd have to be mind-reader to do what you want - to know what the intention of the person clicking was. There are various ways of knowing what site they came from and what keywords drove them to your site - but how is any tracking device going to know what the visitor is thinking? :confused:

    Thanks for all the replies, the reason I asked is my boss said that Verizon has this tool which generates a report of everyone who viewed or clicked them. Man, they must be all that powerful huh?

    Google analytics can do this, however, your results in adwords (clicks, keywords,..) are not same as in analytics because of many reasons. You should search in Google adwords help for more info.:)

    Hi,
    Google gets his money from clicks on your ad. There is no way to block someone to click your ad. If there was a way, everyone would use it and Google would make no money.

    This is like watching cable tv without paying for it.
