Google Blocks Adsense Ads on WordPress Preview Pages

Advertisements

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.

no adsense ads

Since preview urls look like this -

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.

  1. Hey..It is on. Did you tested well ?? Hope you did not.

    I will request this feature to Google AdSense Team.

  3. Wow.. I was also thinking of the same thing. It is good that it was changed. How can we have ad benefit when one just previews the site. I think this plugin itself is not good because the person may avoid visiting the site if the preview does not look good.

  4. Well maybe this is not officially working yet because I previewed my latest post a couple minutes ago and I saw the ads showing. Let see what happens the next time I preview my post.

    Thanks
