Hi, I've been keeping track of allowed site list and making sure only my domains got the clicks, but recently i've been seeing clicks come through "Bing" , obviously I don't own bing... so my question is, Should I disable/ not use allowed site list? What's the advantage/disadvantage? why does even adsense even have that option?
I'm not 100% sure, but I think the Bing clicks are coming from indexed cached pages. The advantage is that you can secure your Adsense account. If someone really despises you, they can put your code in a gambling or adult site, which could potentially get your account banned. The disadvantage is that you can lose some clicks. But Google usually tells you which sites are generating activity and you can always authorize a site.
Very good point there! wow, yeah, I should reactivate the list. Now that I think about it, I definitely don't want to get caught off guard with someone else posting my ad codes... I didn't even think that far. Thanks
