I run my own server, and have sites that I've chosen to block from the accessing the site entirely.
If the blocked site is later displayed through adwords and a visitor clicks on the link, my firewall maybe blocking it.
How does this affect the process? CTR? Smartpricing?
Is this seen as an invalid click?
As an example: I'm blocking an Ip range that I know goes to widget.com
The firewall log shows that everytime widget.com has tried to access our server, it's been successfully blocked.
Now out of the blue, I have a new log entry that shows a blocked TO widget.com
The only way I know of that links going to widget.com can get on our site at this point is by being displayed through adsense.
*side note here: to remove the stress of "what happens when I click on my own ads".. I've installed a script that doesn't allow anyone on our intranet to see the ads at all. So I don't know 100% for sure if widget.com was/is being shown with adsense.
