Your ads have recently appeared on websites you haven't authorised. To avoid lost revenue, make sure that you authorise any sites where you display ads by visiting your account settings

Now I get these messages on a fairly regular basis, but this one?

static.ak.facebook.com

I did some searching and all I can conclude is some fool has put one of my pages up somewhere on Facebook.

Anyone else?

OK, I did a Google search of my publisher ID on that domain and got this result:

Your search - pub-#*$!#*$!#*$!XX site:static site:ak site:facebook site:com - did not match any documents.

Then I did a search simply using my ID alone. The first one in the SERPS appears to be a WHOIS of AdSense

Domains associated with this Google Adsense Id

MyExampleSite.com

Why the hell would anyone want to know that?

Ditto for some others in the SERP's, Plus:

1. A Website Value Calculator site
2. A traffic and value site
3. One that looks like a copyright thief

Whack your publisher ID into Google and see what you get! You might be surprised.

Possibly someone has created a facebook iframe app. I suggest implementing a framebuster.

if the page was being iframed it would still be being served by the original domain not from facebook! and therefore would not be being served by an unauthorised site

And? How do you actually identify that? Specifically?

I'm not being smart, merely asking a question.

The Adsense code itself creates an iframe, and from time to time, urls that iframe our pages show up in adsense reports (e.g. stumbleupon.com)

IanCP, did you check your server logs for request with that referer?

Is it really worth worrying about? Some dumb young kid has "however" embedded one of my pages, likely seen by 25 people...

BUT

Mr. Google can't identify it with obvious given parameters.

Ms. Adsense is already ignoring any earnings from that domain. I wouldn't worry.
