Both https://a.dpstatic.com/s/ad.js and http://a.dpstatic.com/s/ad.js seem to be offline, and it is making my website hang when trying to display ads. I am trying out your ads for the first time and so I am concerned if this is a regular thing?
No it's fine, but a.dpstatic.com is from the pre site migration... the new banner builder was missed when updating the JavaScript... it's been updated on our end (might need to flush browser cache since it's a JS file update), or you can just replace a.dpstatic.com with x.dpstatic.com
Would this cause any problems with the adsense fallback? If you go to http://tuebl.ca there seem to be no ads in the slots (the long coloured blue box should have an ad inside it, and between the "staff picks" and "user picks" should be one, as well as one to the left of that under the list of latest books. All are just coming up with a blank space. It's been a few hours, and adsense had already generated a page before. Sorry if that should go in a new thread as you can imagine dealing with ads on a live site makes me nervous and more prone to just ask dumb questions than waiting it out.
I just double checked it, everything seems okay on this end... but Google is throwing a "error 400 Bad Request" when the browser attempts to get the AdSense ad from Google. My first thought would be to double/triple check your AdSense publisher ID, the ad ID and also make sure the SIZE of your Google AdSense ad you are trying to put in that area is the right size (should be the same size as the Digital Point Ad slot).
Yeah I am getting that same error... I just checked the git repo to look at my difference report and I don't really see a difference (this is only one of the different ads but this one isn't working either): <script type="text/javascript"><!--- google_ad_client = "ca-pub-8934019665451305";- /* Book Box */- google_ad_slot = "5107517113";- google_ad_width = 250;- google_ad_height = 250;- //-->- </script>- <script type="text/javascript"- src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">- </script>+ <script type="text/javascript"><!--+dp_ad_width = 250;+dp_ad_height = 250;+dp_ad_color_title = "#000000";+dp_ad_color_desc = "#000000";+dp_ad_fallback = "ca-pub-8934019665451^5107517113";+//--></script><script type="text/javascript" src="//x.dpstatic.com/s/ad.js"></script>
It appears Google is blocking more than 1 ad from loading via AJAX now. While I understand why they would do this... That doesn't mean we aren't still looking for a workaround. See this thread: https://forums.digitalpoint.com/threads/multiple-ads-in-same-page-problem.2629540/unread
