AdSense Ties your Secret Blogs To You

Posted By Darren Rowse 13th of January 2006 Adsense

If you have a blog that you don’t want anyone to know about and you use AdSense be careful about activating the ‘advertise on this site’ feature. Jensense points out that it’s one way that can give away who you are. Of course the other way is to do a source code view of a site and look at the publisher code which is something I’ve done once or twice – I even confirmed one of Jen’s sites was hers once when I saw a site that I thought was in her style using the source code method.

Moral of the story – it’s pretty hard to hide on the web!
