If there is a site that has your adsense ID on its pages but you know the site is not compliant with the adsense terms of service, you can keep it off the list. Maybe it's a site you sold with your adsense ID still on it, so you can't make changes to fix it. Or maybe it's an old site you still own but haven't made changes too, and you're worried about not being compliant.

Ads will still show on sites you haven't authorized, but you won't get paid for any clicks. Adsense will show you a message every day that reminds you "Your ads have recently appeared on websites you haven't authorized."

I think if you never go in and update the list of authorized sites, then every place where your ads show is assumed to be authorized. I know I never did anything with that list until I had some sites I specifically wanted to "un-authorize", but I still got paid for ads.

"patey88" is correct.

If you leave the list blank, any website where you place AdSense code will be assumed by Google as being authorized.

However, if you add a site to the list and add the AdSense code to another site or sites, you must add them to the list as well otherwise Google will assume that they are not authorized and will not pay earnings for clicks that you get on those sites.

So unless you have a specific site or sites that you want excluded from the program, my advise is not to add any sites to the list.

I hope that this makes sense.

i see many people adding Google local sites like google.co.uk google.ca translate.google.com and so on.. so i was under the impression that i was require to input all major Google sites and other potential traffic sites.

anyway i only have one site at the moment but in the future i will propably have some more.So its ok to only input my domain of the current absence site and nothing else ?

thanks a lot for clearing that up for me.
