Comments on: How to test adsense ads without any fear of invalid impressions? http://reviewofweb.com/blogging/how-to-safe-test-adsense-without-generating-false-impressions/ Make the most of technology Tue, 10 Jan 2012 22:34:53 +0000 hourly 1 By: Breno http://reviewofweb.com/blogging/how-to-safe-test-adsense-without-generating-false-impressions/#comment-3131 Breno Tue, 29 Nov 2011 17:18:35 +0000 http://reviewofweb.com/blogging/how-to-safe-test-adsense-without-generating-false-impressions/#comment-3131 This post is dated but it's the second result when searching for "adsense test". The parameter google_adtest is irrelevant for the new ad unit code. I solved my problem of testing without generating invalid impressions by making googlesyndication.com point to my own webserver (via hosts file) and making the "show_ads.js" script output random text formatted like the real ads and periodically image placeholders. It's true Google won't bother about sparse impressions, but sometimes you need to do heavy tests with layouts and templates and it's good to have something closest to the real ads when doing these tests.

There must be some reason for it right? As far as the commenting is concerned I would normally reply from within my WP dashboard and hence there is no question of generating false impressions. @Nash: You’re correct but there were a lot of insecurities in people’s mind then about invalid impressions (this post is dated as you can see from the time stamp) Also, the parameter google_adtest has been provided directly by Google.

Its invalid clicks that Google really cares about. If you think about it...how is a blog owner supposed to interact with his commentors with the fear of invalid impressions?...Are you telling me he is going to change the code anytime some one comments so that he can reply them? So though you were trying to be helpful, I hope this article hasn't caused too much panic amongst publishers of the possibility of invalid impressions...they will only flag you maybe once you reach like a 1000 impressions a day from your IP.
