Question about adlogger

Discussion in 'AdSense' started by arturo_gtz, May 24, 2007.

    I installed adlogger in my website, so that i can monitor the clicks in my homepage...

    Yesterday i received 2 clicks and checked the adlogger log, to my surprise one of the click was (according to adlogger) made by myself!

    I have never click in my own ads, so this is very strange... sometimes I display my pages to test changes in them (obviously my impressions count grow every time i do this), did Adlogger register impressions and translate them to clicks?

    Remove all adsense codes, AdLogger will still count the ghost clicks. The script is buggy.

    Adlogger uses mouse-overs to predict a click. That is why you'd see it record a click even though there wasn't any.

    Try it and see: hover your mouse over the ad (but don't click it!) and check Adlogger.

    adlogger is very buggy i am still searching for a better script that logs all clicks and movements.

    i use webtrends to manage all the different pages but they dont cover google ads

    but it's better then nothing. At least with Adlogger, you can shoe google that you were preforming due diligence

    Sue? Read the agreement with them. You agreed that they can close your account, ban you, and seize your earnings anytime without any reason.

    But I agree that it's better than nothing.
