How to Find AdSense Sites
Find AdSense sites
1. Recognize what an AdSense ad looks like. They will be preceded by the text 'Ads by Google.' If they do not display this text, they are violating the Google AdSense terms of service. Hovering over an advertisement will display the destination URL as 'http://googleads.g.doubleclick.net,' followed by several lines of related information. Advertisements can be displayed as an image as well as plain text.
2. Find a publisher ID that you want to search for. Every AdSense account has a unique publisher ID and Google uses this to ensure that clicks are recorded to the correct account. To find this information, visit a site with AdSense ads. Click on 'View' and then 'Page Source.' Search for the string 'google_ad_client,' and the publisher ID will then be the value to the right of this.
3. Use a site such as w3who.net to search for all AdSense sites based on the publisher ID. By entering the publisher ID, you will be given all the sites in the database that use that same ID.
