    Hello, someone seems to have my adsense code, and is using a google cheat thing, I guess.

    Since im earning like 3 USD daily, but, why would someone do that?

    Can I get banned for that?

    How do I report the site if I dont even know?

    Thanks

    You don't necessarily need to worry about that if you go to your Adsense account and enter the URL for each approved website you want your Adsense code to appear. Anyone that steals your code will probably just see public service ads or something else that doesn't count against you. Let me know if that helps.

    But, I can get banned for not having that option enabled?

    You can get banned if your Adsense code is used on a site that breaks the Adsense Program Policies, or if there are invalid clicks, sure. It's a risk to allow your ads to be shown on a site that you have no control over.

    just put your website URL in the allowed site in adsense account
    this will disallow any clicks from any other site except you

    It may be that someone stole (cut and pasted) your web content onto their website and accidentally copied the ad code as well. Like others said, you can use the allowed site feature at adsense to block them from using it, although if you can track the website down and see there is no harmful material on it, you might just be happy with earning $3 a day from their theivery, lol.

    Use the filter function in adsense. You can set it so only ads will show at your sites.
