I have a few blogs. The most popular is http://NESWsports.com . I have ran Google ads with no problem for about 3 years, and this is the 1st time this has happened. All of the sudden my Google ads are all "Google Public Service Announcements". I have not changed anything. I am still compliant with Google TOS. The only thing is that on some category views and tag views, you can see the ads. I posted this on a Google forum ,and this is a good answer, but I do not know how to implement it... "Well, the problem is only partial. It seems to be on the main or home page. If I select one of the categories and click on that, the adsense ads are normal. You are probably the 8th or 9th person I've seen with this in the last week or so, and I haven't once been able to figure out why it's happening. One thing you might want to do is specifically include the DART cookie information from doubleclick - while you do have a privacy policy, I didn't notice that information in your policy (I might have missed it) and AdSense is specific that you must have that information, and you must also have the link to the AdSense opt out page for the cookie. On the middle column there was a rather long space, which is where the adsense tower ad should be, but it's not a PSA, just a blank space." Any help would be much appreciated.
It happened to me once where only public ads were shown but in my case it was the computer doing something weird. I checked on a different laptop and they were normal. Hope you get your problem fixed.
I have not received anything from Google. My Google search works fine, and some pages on the blog work fine. I think Google does not like something in my cookies or code etc... Any other ideas buds?
I am receiving the same thing as the creator of this thread. In Google's FAQs it states that they haven't crawled the page yet and to wait 48-72 hours. *sigh* I sure hope it doesn't take that long! Please someone let us know if you find out anything.
No, it has worked perfectly for 3 years. All of the sudden on it is showing public service announcements.
Have you tried to refresh the pages? Keep they showing PSA? If other people visiting your site see the normal ads the problem should be located on your computer or your ISP.
Its probably the niche has dried up or the niche is over exhausted, remember, if there are too many promoting websites and not enough people hitting adwords (due to credit crunch) it WILL affect your ads
I figured it out. I used an old trick. I saved the home page as an HTML text file, so I could see what the Google bot is seeing. I wanted to make sure that there were no bad words. It turns out that there were tons of invisible links in my footer, only the googlebot could see them. It was a wordpress hack. I fixed it. Thanks for anyone that tried to help.
gosh, I know that there is a begin/end adsence code block like <!-- adsence_start --> and the end.. is like <!-- adsence_end --> but, im not sure if thats the exact right syntax. Someone please correct me. This will help your adsence so much.. not a lot of people use it though.
Went on your site again today and all showing today normal Google ads not a PSA in site! Can't think it could be a country specific program. Anyone else just seeing PSA ads on this site? Dickie
