Hi, Are these sites safe to add in Allowed Sites in my google adsense. Am i losing out not allowing them? These are the sites that have shown up the last 3 or more months under Unauthorised Sites. As i have set "Only allow certain sites to display ads for my account" should i allow all? www.bing.com translate.googleusercontent.com images.search.yahoo.com webcache.googleusercontent.com search.aol.com it.bing.com www.google.com.ar www.google.com.ph de.images.search.yahoo.com thanks.
What I have learnt in DP and which is most interesting is: Dont spend your time in blocking ads or thinking about scripts to not to show the ads to the same visitors. Instead spend that time in relaxing and content writing. Oh and Link Building. Let Google automatically serve you the best ones.
Yes, they are safe to be added, i have added them as they definitely display adsense ads with your publisher id in it whenever someones checks the cache at those search engines or when they search the image option in those search engines.
don't block anything, this option has been put there (with others) to help decrease the amount of emails google receive from paranoid people who give way too much credibility to whatever they read on forums..
Thank you so much guys for the heads up and taking the time to post and help. I have Unblocked All. cheers.
Unblocked also I have.. You know what is the only possible problem? It is that some dumbass on the internet, wants to create you problems and take your adsense id from anyone of your sites and then put the adsense code on one of his porn website or on any site which violates adsense's tos, and then click on the report ads button (adchoices) and reports you as violating adsense's rules.. Now what will happen? You receive a warning email from adsense giving you 72hours to fix that, or giving you some trouble.. At that point you can use the authorize sites feature, to protect yourself, and write back to adsense saying what you did and that of course the site doesn't belong to you. Adsense has been exposed to this issue countless times, like click bombing, as you can imagine.. It's no news to them, with the amount of tension and pettyness there is wherever humans gather together.. So if your account is overall in good standing, they'll know about it anyway and simply disable ads on the site violating their tos.. It's not a problem, and as you can imagine with my interactions online I'm not always nice (that's an understatement) and in 8 years with adsense, having never used this feature, i haven't yet been banned. It can happen tomorrow or later today, or at any moment, I know that, but it gives you an idea on how useless it is to use it and waste time on it beforehand.. As I said it's for paranoid people, and I'm not making fun of them, I respect paranoia because better be safe than sorry, I agree with that, but I never felt the urge to be paranoid about adsense despite many many fear generating forum posts (maybe that's because of this I'm not buying it, haha) I know people like to scare each others, like watching horror movies and fear pranks.. On webmaster forums they also like to make everything sounds much more complicated than it actually is.. totally off topic, but speaking about fear pranks there's a facebook app well done, so I'm sharing it which I do very rarely, but this one is professionally done and harmless: http://www.takethislollipop.com
