The blank google ads

time down = money lost for him! hopefully he gets it all fixed

 

I think that it is a bug which John will fix soon. There are lot of upgrades that are happening on the forums right now I guess..

 

How can it be a bug?

Do a view source: The full script is there. It's just not displaying any ads.

If this were an AdSense issue and not a DP issue, why isn't it affecting other sites?

 

In IE I am getting this



which is either when the publisher is banned from Google or some other matter.

Now I dont know what is matter with DP now..

 

If it were not working on the other pages of digitalpoint (other than the forums), I would say the account was banned. But ads are showing with no problem there!

 

The code hasn't been changed because you can see that from the source code.

 

IE7 Final shows blank white boxes, not sure about FF

 

Firefox doesn't show anything. It's a gray area. (matches the layout's background)

 

That strange, I got pretty good click from DP yesterday! Most probably its a bug of some sort.

 

Very strange. In the most unlikely situation why should Google attempt to deny DP a publisher status, I wonder.

 

1. Its not a bug
2. 'You are not authorized to view this page' usually happens when the publisher is banned from adsense.

(My)Conclusion: Some guys clickbombed DP and it has been banned from adsense for the moment.

 

remember the database holds all your pub id's and the adsense script does not allow you to see your own ads so prevents you from clicking on an ad served to you that you can click on as your own account.

ads are being served on DP's main site so dp is not banned. my guess is that it is the database is withholding the ads from everyone.

i just took this screen shot from the main site, and wow do the guys that have 30 ads in rotation have a cheek targeting DP with ads like this.

 

As someone else pointed out in this or another thread on the subject, the DigitalPoint Forums are in a subdomain - http://forums.digitalpoint.com.

Thus the fact that they are showing on the main site or on other DP subdomains doesn't tell us anything about why they're not being displayed on the forum pages. If anything, it would be further evidence to support the hypothesis that the forum specifically has received an AdSense suspension or ban.

 

After your post i suddenly remembered posting in this thread...

I wonder if my answer in that thread was right or wrong.
I can't tell anymore.

 

Like minstrel said, google treats subdomains as a separate domain.

I remember reading on Shawn's blog about the guy who threatened to clickbomb DP once, and Shawn wrote to google about the threat

We know google's algorithms are powerful, but one can never underestimate the turks with oodles of time on their hand

 

That email was BS, and quite old thing anyway.

 

Oh well no more $0.01 earnings from dp i suppose !! Well sad to see a google banning forums with ads sharing enabled.

 

Hahaha. People are making speculations. Calm down, let's wait for an official statement. ;D

 

I seen that yesterday too. rather suspicious.

 

Assume what you want from this comment, but if you place one of the adsense codes that don't display here in a test.html on your desktop & look at that, it displays just fine.
