Questions with answers from AdSenseAdvisor

What is a channel?

It's an extra code you can have added in the ads that does some great stuff.

To track each of your ad units, link units, and AdSense for search boxes. Then you can figure out on your own which color schemes, placements and ad formats are most effective for your particular site.



I clicked a bunch of ads on the first day, and I didn't know. What do I do?

If you accidentally click on your own ads, it's best to let the AdSense team know. Email adsense-support@google.com and explain the situation.



Google Adsense ads (and AdLinks) are using italic text. How do I make them look normal?


Firefox Adblock extension can cause that, and AdSenseAdvisor said...

I got some English text on my site, but it's mostly *Insert other language.* Why do I mostly get PSAs?

It looks like PSAs are appearing because *Insert other language* is currently not supported by the AdSense program. While I see that there is some English content, it is probably not enough for our crawlers to be able to determine the meaning of your page and serve relevant ads.

If you are not satisfied with the ads that are appearing, I recommend removing the code until we are able to support *Insert other language*. I see you are already using AdSense for search, and recommend continuing to use this option in the meantime.

AdSense serves ads that are relevant to the text-based content of a given site, which provides a positive experience for advertisers, users and publishers. If AdSense is placed on a site written in an unsupported language, the ads probably won't be relevant. Therefore, we kindly ask that you do not modify your code to try to alter the natural targeting.



Are AdSense Trackers OK to use?

If you're not modifying the code, or trapping the clicks or changing the way ads are processed, it should be all right to implement a click-counter script like the ones suggested.

Do be careful not to change the ad code without realizing it, though
