Adsense Questions

[PSU4Life]

1: How to do you stop people (wife, kids, roommates) from clicking on your ads (other than just telling them)? My roommates all show up as the same IP when they visit my sites. I'm worried if they click an adsense ad I will get banned. I've told them not to but they still might.

2: TOS says you can't put Adsense on gambling/casnio sites. I see tons of sites related to poker with adsense and they have been running for awhile. How do they get around the TOS here?

Thanks

In response to your first question, either find new friends who don't dick you over or don't tell anyone what your domains are.

At the top of your page, insert the following PHP code:

<?php
if ($_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"]=="XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX")
{
$adTestString = "google_adtest='on';\n";
}
?>

XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX is your and your rommates' IP address.

Then, in each google adblock, where it's declaring all the javascript variables, add this:

<?php echo $adTestString; ?>

You won't record any impressions or clicks from your IP address any more.

this code doesnt work if your IP address changes, i.e. if you have DSL or 56k

At the top of your page, insert the following PHP code:

<?php
if ($_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"]=="XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX")
{
$adTestString = "google_adtest='on';\n";
}
?>

XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX is your and your rommates' IP address.

Then, in each google adblock, where it's declaring all the javascript variables, add this:

<?php echo $adTestString; ?>

You won't record any impressions or clicks from your IP address any more.

Can't you do a range of IP's somehow? Even if your ip is not static it will be in the same range.

Thanks for the code...I will add it.

yeah, you can use the php ereg function in combination with substr to check if the first numbers of the ip address match.
