So I logged into AdSense today only to find that I seem to be making a LOT of extra impressions and clicks that aren't coming from any of the channels I have assigned for my websites. Somehow I'm even making search revenue when I haven't used that feature in years. Traffic on the sites hasn't increased that I can see, but my earnings have almost multiplied by a factor of 10. CTR is about the same, just a lot more impressions not coming from any of my channels. I'm not one to argue with free money, but what exactly could be causing this? Anyone else experienced anything like this, should I be worried?
I actually tried and failed to find any type of support email address on the AdSense website and gave up. I remember back in the good old days when AdSense first started and you could actually find the email address...
After doing some more digging I actually found the contact form. Writing them a short paragraph explaining the issue.
Experienced this one also, the impressions shown on the totals is different from the sum of the channels' impressions, and the only channel I didn't put was Digital Point, but I am pretty sure it's not from DP since it's a massive amount and I don't have any topics created here. Would love to know Google's answer, if there would be one, please post it here.
The best way is using allowed sites option. After adding all your known sites, you will always see other pages with your ads. Usually they are google cached pages, and it is ok, but you can also find some other pages.
