I'm waiting until I stop reading these "bug" reports before implementing the feature for my account.

It appears that if we write "www.example.com" in the Allowed Sites list, only URLs with "www." in that domain will generate AdSense earnings. On the other hand, if we write just "example.com", without the "www.", both www. and non-www. addresses will work correctly for AdSense.
From the "Allowed Sites" page in the AdSense accounts:
Example URLsexample.com
allows all pages across all subdomainssports.example.com
allows only pages across the 'sports' subdomain
When I read that the first day, I immediately thought "some people is going to lose money just by writing the usual www.example.com here instead of example.com". It was pretty much clear.
By the way, in my Allowed Sites list, I have only my domains, without "www.", and without the various IPs and domains that appear on the Unauthorized Sites list, and there hasn't been any perceptible decrease in earnings at all.
Naturally, all those IPs and domains (search engine caches, machine translations, image search, etc.) are a very small percentage of traffic (zero point something percent), at least in my case.
I discovered over 100+ referral programs using my pub id so this is a 2 minute job worth doing everyday.

I don't get it. No other person than you may make money from your ads since ads clicked with your id, earns money from you. Is that correct or am I missing something?
This is the reason the 'Allowed Sites Feature' was set up.
In my case I noticed a great drop after adding my own sites so my thought is let things as they are now.
but i see that this don't affect my earnings ;)

There really isn't any way of checking how many hits are on the links, - so a link might have 1 hit, or a click bomb of 100,000, you just don't know.
And with the IP addreses you have no idea whats behind them and why your site is listed there.
The tool still has some holes.

From what I have read on this thread so far, it seems to me that Google should automatically allow all their own proxy / translations sites among "allowed sites".
Having to identify them yourself and then allow them manually is absurd.
If I am understanding matters correctly.
