For past month and so my earnings had been going down but my traffic kept going up. First I thought maybe It was just the time of the year when things slow down but today I decided to go through my site code and found out that someone hacked into it or one of my employees added their own adsense code that was stealing a lot of my earnings. cuplrit's publisher id: ca-pub-5454954873055383 Can someone please help me find sites associated to this id?
Contact adsense support, although I doubt they will give a helping hand... More realistically keep an eye at such things of your sites and do not trust that much your current employees I guess... Also (I am not sure as I've never checked but) maybe there is an option in adsense to limit the ads shown only associated with your ID. Actually while writing this I am almost sure there was something like that in the past - where adsense code could be displayed on the sites registered with your account only or maybe vice versa. Try digging there! Good luck! p.s. I think I have made that restriction years ago, I'll log-in later and if I do not forget, and find it in the new interface will post back to tell ya....
no there is no option in adsense to just show ads from a certain adsense account. I believe you are referring to the following "Only allow certain sites to show ads for my account". I have had that turned on since the day it came out. I have contacted adsense and hopefully they will help me or at least take appropriate action against that publisher id.
Yes, that's what I've also turned on since working with them, but though there could be the opposite option... I have other things to attend to right now, but will have a look... Also depending on your CMS if you are using one, there might be some easy ways to get rid of it. Let's say in PHP you should be able to override/replace any other code, but your own. Still it wont really work if your employee takes care of that part.... If it is a small company have a look around... I am not sure how can I help at the moment, right now....
Thank you for all the help guys. I contacted adsense yesterday and just received a respons. They will be looking into this and May transfer the funds from his account to mine whatever money he made out of my website.. So that's a good sign.
