I'm in the process of making my site. I already put ad's in, but I still have to test out the site on a web browser. Everything I test it, it gives me an impression. Of course i'm not clicking the ads, but i cant help impressions. What should I do?
Don't worry about it if it's not a lot of impressions..if you're the only one on the site it may be worth your time to take the ads off right now, as it will affect your CTR, and such...but I think Google knows that everyone will be looking at their own site simply to make sure stuff is working and such. Don't panic =). If you're refreshing every 20 seconds, then I would start to worry, but at that point I would take the ads off until you're finished...or do a simple PHP script that blocks showing the ads if it's your IP, or install AdBlocker on Firefox to remove all Google ads =).
