Unrealistically high page views in Adsense

[koz8]

Hey,

We noticed that when we serve adsense banners via revive adserver, page views are significantly higher in adsense statistics.

We display multiple adsense banners on one page. Could this be the reason of the increase? What should we do to get the page views number right?

Thanks.

Revive Adserver doesn't count page views. But banner impressions. If you have 4 banners on one page .. it's 4x the page views

Is it possible to change settings (e.g. impression count) in Revive Adserver so that it doesn't affect Adsense page view metric?

Before using Revive Adserver we displayed Adsense banners directly the way we do now, 3-4 banners would appear on a page. It didn't affect Adsense page views earlier.

I would like to serve Adsense banners via Revive Adserver, but without 3x or 4x the page view in Adsense. I used the Revive's documentation when implementing Adsense banners. Do you have any suggestions how to achieve this?

Thank you.

Ah, I misunderstood your initial question. It's weird that it affects the adsense page view metrics. Unless you're using iframe invocation codes.

This is how the invocation code looks like for a zone:

    <!-- Revive Adserver Asynchronous JS Tag - Generated with Revive Adserver v5.3.1 -->

    <ins data-revive-zoneid="9" data-revive-id=“xxxxxxxxxxx”></ins>

    <script async src="//adserver.webpage.com/delivery/asyncjs.php"></script>

Also we serve the banner from a subdomain (adserver.webpage.com), however we display the banner on webpage.com. I don't know if this is something that might cause this issue.
