    Is it posible to detect if someone is using your adsense? and what action should be taken? I suspect someone using my adsense code because my agregate impression and CTR is always diffirent, I observe this more than week now.

    Does this may cause my account to be ban?

    channel everything, if something doesn't add up (should be very significant), someone's using your code

    Quite a coincidence, I experience exactly the same. In my account, this is happening since november 5. Yours too, by any chance?
    I reported this to Google, but I didn't get a response yet.

    I wonder if the increase of impression # that have been noticed from some are from AdSense and FireFox refferal banner impressions?

    I say this as I noticed an increase in impressions when I added these banners as well as noticed a decrease when I removed most of them.

    Surely if someone else is using your adsense, that just means more money for you?

    Not if they put them on a site that violates G's TOS. Im sure theirs something that can be done, afterall adsense ID's are publicly available.

    I used the tracking software "asrep" to discover that someone had copied the design of a site and forgot to take both adsense and the tracking code out.
