Google Blocks Adsense Ads on WordPress Preview Pages
While writing WordPress blog articles, I was always concerned at the extra Google Adsense Impressions generated by WordPress preview pages. Now Google Adsense seems to have fixed that and I see no Google Adsense ads on any preview pages.
Since preview urls look like this -
http://www.domainame.com/blog/?p=12345&preview=true
I guess it was not too difficult to block ads on preview pages.
Why is it good that they blocked Adsense ads on WordPress Preview pages – No false impressions inflating cost for CPM advertisers. No accidental clicks on your own Adsense ads. Google Adsense bot visits your final published page only for better targeting. No falsely raised ad page impressions, modifying your Adsense ad statistics reports.

Thats good thinking from Google. For some posts we have to preview things over and over and thats against the TOS. I think the TOS instructs not to refresh pages over and over.
Now we can be safe!

I can still see ads on preview pages on my blog.
Yeah same for me, I still see ads in the preview.
But the important thing is that Google Adsense is displayed on a published post right? Just IMHO. ^_^
Well I think the ads are served from the javascript and not the URL, so everytime the scripts are called, I think it will display the ads.
