Making page impressions while editing website!

JayMack · 06-05-2007, 06:38 PM

Hello all - I'm new here, I'm new to Adsense (24 hours and counting...), and I'm new to making websites.

Which is the crux of my question. I hope somebody knows the answer to this one. I started learning HTML and CSS from scratch just one month ago, and have slowly and painfully built a site that currently is more or less OKish. I'm constantly working on it and refining its look in pace with my growing knowledge.

The question is this: I keep checking many things on my site. I check that my adjustments to HTML and CSS code look the same online as they do offline. And with Adsense I have to check every page I put the ads on, to make sure I haven't made a mistake.

All of this means that the bulk of all page impressions over any single day at the moment are made by me. I'm putting loads of (original) articles onto my site and constantly going back in to edit and update them. I made over a hundred page impressions yesterday, but only 30 today (I got scared and careful!). Very few other visitors currently come to my site, as I'm still working on it and not really bothering about promotion just yet.

Google won't ban me from Adsense because of all the page impressions that I'm making whilst legitimately checking out my own site and tweaking its look? Will they? Surely they should completely disregard all impressions made by me? I'm excited about the possibilities of creating a worthwhile website with good content and getting some payment for it (I'd be happy just to cover my hosting costs - anything else would be a bonus). I'd hate for it to be choked off before it even got going.

If you don't click on the ads, you don't have to be afraid. The only drawback is that your CTR is low due to your own page impressions.

I create lots of impressions on some of my smaller web sites when I update them. You have nothing to worry about as long as you don't click your ads.

Thanks for the info - I've started Adblocking my own site in Firefox so I can check my own content without registering an impression, but I still have to repeatedly check the positioning of Ads live in all the browsers (curse Opera - curse it!).

I haven't been guillotined by Google yet so I suppose they really do disregard your own page impressions. I was just worried as you hear so many tales of people being ejected from Adsense apparently on Google's whim.

Good to know this information. I also just start doing google adsense and have the same question. Thanks for the answer.

viewing own site containing ad sense ad is not against ad sense TOS , you can view ads as much as you can , which does not make you money ......
Beware of accidental clicks ...
