Protecting your Google Adsense account using allowed sites settings

It is a great way of preventing unwanted websites from displaying Google ads using your adsense code and in this way can help prevent Google from banning you or disabling your account for fraudulent activities on a site that is outside your control. The easy way Google allows adsense publishers control which sites that may show their ads is with the adsense whitelist function. It works when you login to your account and then go to adsense setup and go to Allowed sites. When you get to the page, you just enter your sites and any other sites where you wish, enter the domain names which you want to allow and save it when you are done.

How to allow sites to display your adsense ads
- Log in to www.google.com/adsense
- Click on Adsense setup
- Click on Allowed sites
- Select the radio button that says "Only allow certain sites to show ads for my account"
- Enter the allowed domain names in the box below e.g multidox.org
- Save the changes

I had been using the allowed sites function for sometime now after noting that a big site like digitalpoint got banned once for other sites using his code and didn't keep to Adsense's policies. Today after logging into my account, I noticed that there was a yellow box informing me that I was losing revenue on some sites that were aalready showing my ads and it also provided me the url of such sites with the option of including them into my allowed sites list.

Since about two of such sites belonged to my network of sites, I was happy to include them in my list and also did the same for other two important sites belonging to Google which were:

webcache.googleusercontent.com
translate.googleusercontent.com

If you are going to use the allowed sites function for your adsense account, try to make sure you don't limit your earnings by excluding sites belonging to Google like the one I listed above. The first one is Google's cache which shows your site within Google's inventory and also your ads. A lot of people may not directly visit your site or only be able to view your cache when your site is not readily available and you could be losing revenue. The other one is for Google translate and you should just enable that too since if offers translated versions of your site and yet displays your adsense ads.

I hope to see my revenue from adsense increase my about 30% with these new inclusions.

Now after adding more sites to your whitelist, you can just copy the domains(excluding the ones with googleusercontent) and also add them in your url channel list in order to track your channels and know how much each one brings.
