Excluding test IP addresses

If you and your coworkers test the website fully loaded with ads regularly, the impressions and clicks can potentially skewed the reporting number. These IP addresses could be from your company's internal or local network, or web developer's computers.

You can exclude specific IP addresses from generating impressions and clicks. Visitors from these IP addresses can view and click on ads as other visitors. However, impressions and clicks from these IP addresses are not recorded into our system.

How to exclude internal and testing IP addresses

Click on the main menu My Account/Profile, then choose the Settings tab. Each IP entry is separated by a comma. Wildcard notation is supported. For example: 192.168.2.*,127.0.0.1,192.168.10.20
