My ads are being used on other sites

    There is a setting in Adsense where you choose whether your ads are authorised to appear on any site or just ones you select. I selected just my own because I figured there must be something fishy going on if they appear on other peoples sites.
    Recently though I had a message-

    "Your ads have recently appeared on websites you haven't authorized. To avoid lost revenue, make sure to authorize any sites where you display ads by visiting your account settings."

    They gave me the sites but not exact links. The sites were Bing and some kind of Google translate. I don't really understand this since because surely the ads are still on my own site. So should I allow all sites or not?

    Don't worry..Your account is safe as long as you have only authorized your website in ALLOWED SITES section.

    I've added Bing and about 30 different google.something domains to my allowed list, as well as my own sites.

    No, dont allow the site since it is not yours.

    Someone might be trying to get you off Adsense, just use the Allowed site list properly and you will be fine. :)

    I'm getting a mixed message from you guys. I understand the potential danger but the two stated sites are Bing and Google translate. I know nothing about Bing but I know a lot of my visitors are Dutch and using Google translate since my site is in English. I do not want to lose legitimate clicks.

    Just block all sites but your own. If the message does not come back, it must have been an error
