About six months ago my adsense tracking report using Astracker started to decline and the amount of  tracked listings was dramatically dropping.

This loss of information affected all the useful features like keyword reports, referrer sites etc simply because the data was nolonger being picked up and listed under the adsense tab.

The decline of these adsense listings continued to a point whereby if I was lucky I would have only half a dozen adsense listings per day out of thousands I knew were coming in.

Having checked the internet forums and support at SuperSite Tracker I could find no information as to why this was happening. I noticed a couple of others were having similar problems but no solutions were to be found.

I had all but given up using the Astracker tool when I thought I would try to trace the clicks through the software by monitoring the data that was being picked up and being checked.

Yep the data was being picked up alright, but there was a point where the data was being ignored and subsequently not being processed.

That point was where the software was looking for ‘googlesyndication.com’ on line 123 of the ast.php file.

The problem was google recently changed the name of the site handling its adsense from googlesyndication.com to a new name called ‘googleads.g.doubleclick.net’ and of course the software was not looking for this new name ‘googleads.g.doubleclick.net’ and walla no adsense listing were being stored under the adsense tag.

The line of code in the ast.php file which was causing the problem was:

isg = elements[i].src.indexOf(‘googlesyndication.com’);

So by changing this line to now read:

isg = elements[i].src.indexOf(‘googleads.g.doubleclick.net’);

allowed the calling of the at.php file with the adsense data through the

function ast_createBug(clk, d){

Now at least the adsense data was available to be processed but one last change was needed in the at.php line 56 where the command line

if($host==”googlesyndication.com”){ had to be changed to read:

if($host==”googleads.g.doubleclick.net”){

The adsense tag in the SiteSuper Tracker immediately started to fill up again and things began to operate normally.

This information should help those Astraker users who have become frustrated with the SiteSuper Tracker software.

Please leave your comment about/or if this information helps to restore your Astracker software functionality, It would have been far easier and saved me a lot of time if support at SiteSuper Tracker had provided this information in their FAQ’s but nevertheless its available for you all here today.
