Sorry if this seems like a basic question, but if AdSense tells me I have had 1,000 visits so far today, does that mean 1,000 visitors saw ads or 1,000 visitors visited and some saw no ads because they use some type of adblocking?
Thanks, FarmBoy

Maybe a "basic" question but not so obvious for me as well. I assume a visit will only be recorded if the adsense code is triggered but maybe an adblocker triggers the code even though the ad is never shown.
Where are the experts to advise us!

An idea would be to check the amount of visits, and then compare it to the amount of impressions, divided by the total number of adsense ads per page, divided by your average pages per session > and then compare it to your GA stats. That should give you a rough idea of what's happening. At least in theory...

An adblocker blocks the Adsense javascript code from loading so the visitor is never recorded by Adsense.

1,000 pageviews in Adsense CP = 1,000 ad loads/views. But the way things are going it's likely to be 2,000+ pageviews in Analytics.

Most ad blockers apply a URI-based filter first. The AdSense code will execute and call for adsbygoogle.js but the first request to the pagead2.googlesyndication.com domain is blocked, so the execution is halted and none of the data makes it to Google's servers.
