We all know that Adsense doesn’t like inflating impressions or clicking our own ads, but sometime while testing our websites, it become absolutely necessary. At the same time, we don’t want to risk our Adsense account for any invalid activity, So here is a piece of simple solution to this problem, Just add google_adtest = �on�; to your ad code.

For Example:

[code]google_ad_client = pub-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx;
google_ad_width = 468;
google_ad_height = 60;
google_ad_format = 468×60_as;
google_ad_type = text;
google_ad_channel =”;
google_adtest = on;[/code]

Now any impressions or clicks will be ignored by Adsense, So you can work on your website without any hassles. Your allowed to make this change in your ad code even though Google’s Policies doesn’t allow. Just in case your uncertain, please contact Adsense Support Team

  1. That is pretty interesting… how did you find that out? Does Google allow this, because I thought that TOS doesn’t allow you to modify the code in anyway? So, I am wondering though… if this modification came from Google directly? Please tell me more about how you figured out how to run Adsense in Test Mode.

  2. Hey, this is new to me too. I didn’t know that. Google should told us that, right?

  3. Garry: Actually I have contacts inside AdSense, who leaked this information to me. I don’t want to disclose his name because it would risk his job

    Rhazes: Yeah, they should have informed us about it, but unfortunately they haven’t, maybe they will official disclose more info regarding this in the upcoming days
