Discussion in 'AdSense' started by king_cobra, Apr 17, 2005.

    I had ben using Firefox and last night i had to upgrade it to 1.0.3, so i used IE for some 10 minutes.

    I cudnt see any adsense ads in IE. Is this normal?

    70% of the people use IE and what if they dun see any ads atall!!!

    I am worried.

    No, that's not normal. I browsed sites and the adsense worked without a problem. Must be some setting you changed in IE or something. Most propably disabling Javascript.

    Are you using a dailup?
    I have the same problems on my site, Im using MyIE. Ads show in firefox, and sometimes in 'normal' internet explorer, but not in MyIE. It works on a faster connection though. (my dialup is ridiculously slow..)

    Well, I'm using dail-up, and I don't have any problems at all. I'm reasonably sure that it's Javascript that's disabled.

    I dun use IE anymore, but my visitors might, and by default the javascript is disabled i think. so how can we be sure that every visitor sees our ads.

    There is a new setting in IE that blocks google ads. Not cool. Tell your users to try default medium security and see if that fixes it.

    I think this is M$'s way of telling G to piss off.

    I am not using any adblockers.

    Any way if this is MS' trick, then G is in toruble with IE's market share. May be this is why G promotes Firefox.

    The IE setting thing is from memory, there may be more to the setting. I can't remember. I will now look for it though.

    IE doesn't put the security setting to "high" by defualt, it has to be done manually. So this should not be much of an issue with most users.

    You could try the following. In IE go to Tools|Internet Options|Advanced, at the bottom click on "Restore defaults". That might help if someone messed around with the settings.

    I havent touched IE coz i am a Mozilla user for around 8 months now.

    I tried clicking that restore defaults, but still no G ads.

    I tried with another javascript just to check in case its the javascript, but the js for adding tow numbers worked fine.

    Strange indeed. Are you running any kind of 3rd party ad-blocking/firewall software?
