    Hello

    I want to know if there is any way I could check my webmaster is not cheating on me for adsense earnings. As I am running more than 1 sites so can not do all the work myself and I hired a person who is having my hosting password. I was wondering if he himself has adsense account and put his adsense codes on my website, is there any check, if he is doing it for 1 or 2 placements only? And we normally use same code of 1 format on different pages rather than generating new same type or format code, so the code will still be counting impressions but may be for 1 page but not other. Please suggest any simple checking method if this can happen or is there any tool in adsense which allows only 1 publishers' id that I do not know about.

    Thanks

    Omer

    couldnt you go back and look at the code for the ad you placed there, and if it is different it would mean it has been changed ? not sure but seems like this would work.

    Go to your AdSense account and note ur Publisher ID then check it on your website source code. You can also put an adsense validator icon image to check your adsense pub-id has been used right way! check this tool here.. http://www.adsensevalidator.com/ ..

    you can download your entire site.

    Use frontpage or first page or php designer to edit site.

    Locate your adsense code Press Ctl + F . enter your code in search field , check all pages

    Then see on how many pages your have your code.
