[PHP] Don't count own impressions and have same site layout

I've been trying to find a way to not allow AdSense to count my own impressions (can this increase the chance of smart pricing?) without disabling Javascript, because I need JS to view other websites.

All I did was insert some PHP code to check the visitor's IP. If the IP is mine, then instead of showing AdSense, I show a white block.

function adsense() {
  if ($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] != "-your ip-") {
    // show adsense
  } 
  else {
    // show white block
  }
}

PHP:

This allows me to:

1) Keep Javascript on
2) Not count my own impressions in AdSense
3) Show AdSense like normal to my visitors
4) Retain site layout of having AdSense shown

 

Interesting.

I think I will use this on my site, I did something similar with my zango gateway but didnt think about it for adsense so I can get better stats.

 

nice and simple way... thanks

 

Nice information.... this will help if you are doing a lot of testing on your site..
