    I've tried clicking Adsense ads on other sites and the same thing happens. A blank page pops up. Java is enabled and I'm using FF.

    If this is the case then I would contact Google. This is because even though your ads are not going nowhere it could still be tracked and that means the advertiser will have to pay up.

    So it will be best to contact them and see what they say.

    Hope you have some great success with it also.

    Um, you want him to voluntarily tell Google that he has been clicking on his own ads for a while now, and he's wondering how come they're not going anywhere? Seriously? :)

    I didn't say that he should tell Google that he has been clicking on his own ads.

    He shouldn't tell them that he has been clicking on them and anyway he shouldn't be clicking on them anyway.

    I have just forget actually that he said that the ads don't work on other sites aswell, which he is clicking on. This purely means that it is nothing to do with the ads, but the computer that he is using.

    Have your tried using another computer to see if the ads work, and please only click on a ad that may actually interest you.

    I think there can be no difference between your ads and ads on the other pages, so for testing click on other ads not to yours. But just for testing... do not click to much :p

    And does it first go to google page and then to page of the advertiser not, or even not to google page (i hope you understand what i mean).

    Try IE if it works there then reinstall FF, if ie dosn't work, reinstall java(enable the java thing~), if that don't fix it, format your comp..

    Could be an ad blocking program. Have you installed any new spyware or virus protection programs, or one of the internet security programs?

    I would think that it is definately your computer. I wouldn't think it would be the ads itself.

    Try using another computer from a different location. For example, try using your mates computer and see if that works, you will find that it should work, if it doesn't then I guess you must be doing something very wrong if after you try around 10 computers and you receive the same problems.

    I would imagine you may have some sort of javascript enable problem or maybe antivirus software or something maybe stopping the ads from working.
