How do I know the URLs of the ads on my site?

Print

Please do not click on the ad in order to determine the ad URL; this is against the AdSense program policies. Instead, we suggest using the AdSense Preview Tool to view the ads that will show on each of your pages. The Preview Tool allows you to click through to the advertiser's site without generating invalid clicks or impressions, and provides an easy way to display the target URL of all ads.
Alternatively, to view the URL of ads directly from your webpages, you can also follow these steps:

  1. Right-click on the ad title and select either 'Copy Shortcut' (IE) or 'Copy Link Location' (Netscape).
  2. Paste the selection into a text editor for editing.
  3. The destination URL of the ad includes the text between 'adurl=' and '&'. As an example, the copied URL will appear as follows:

    http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/adclick?sa=l&(...)&adurl=http://www.blogger.com&client=

    or

    http://www.googleadservices.com/pagead/adclick?adurl=http://www.blogger.com&sa=

    The destination URL in the example above is 'http://www.blogger.com'. You can view the ad by entering the URL into your browser's address bar. Adding 'blogger.com' to your filter list will block ads originating from this domain.
