what does this mean when this happens? ive had adsense for 1 year and never happened before but now i have a big xbox add on my banner instead of 4 text ads... is this good , bad, or random?
In general it is good, it is targeted advertising, someone decided to advertise on your site. Now you get payed from this ad per impression.
It's happening to me too just the last couple days. And the revenue significantly drops.... how to get rid of these site-targeted ads?
Really? I'd wondered about those text ads that take up the whole block. It really pays less? Since the advertiser (apparently) targetted that particular site, one would think it would pay more. Hmmm... opportunity?
It's disabled by default but still receiving these ads. I'll try turning it on and off, see if it works.
it's not necessary that you get image ad's because someone chosen to advertise on your site, it could be because you created your adsense code with choice of display "text and image" ads. See what's your image type by looking at your adsense code, if you see something similar to It means that this is what causing image ads to be displayed.
All you need to do is o back through the Adsense ad wizard and instead of selecting text and image ads, select text ads only. Then no images will ever appear in your banner ad. Don't modify your AdSense code without going through the wizard - its against TOS to do so.
yea actually i was referring only to TEXT ads, when u see 1 big text ad , instead of 4 on the 728x60 banner.. but i guess its on site advertiser
If you think like that your best bet is to email google adsense asking them for clarification that why on-site advertiser are being displayed on your site when you choosen not to offer on-site advertiser sign up.
