I don't know if this is a problem for anybody else, but my site(s) where I have AdSense ads takes a long time to load. i know it is not only on my site, because other sites I visit regularly seems to have the same problem. It could just be my computer that is having some sort of problem so if anyone else are seeing the same problem, what would be the problem? is it the new DoubleClick (gogleads.g.doubleclick.net)that is affecting the load?
Recently I have also noticed sometime adsense server is slower in delivering ads, thereby slowing down the page load.
Since the page is loading very slowly you can see what page it is trying to access and then I see something like google.g.doublclick.net so it seems Google is loading ads from a doubleclick site and this might be the cause for the slow loading. Someone suggested to reduce ads on my site, but it is like that on every site that uses google ads.
some times i also face the same problem but I think it problem of our Internet service or computor.Last two i am observing the internet problem at my local area and slow page loading.If your page has more picture Ads then it will also take too much time to load the page.
my site has slowed down a lot the past week with adsenes. I am having the same problem with the doubleclick link and it is getting very frustrating as I am receiving complaints from my users. I hope they figure this out soon.
Yep, same problem here, since this googleads.g.doubleclick.net started to load the ads, my CTR falled to 50% , wtf
Seems like google doesn't think it is a big problem since it is still going on. Someone reported less click through and that might be because the ads are slow to show up. I have been to a lot of sites and ity is frustrating when site doesn't load because of the ads. Zillions of years ago it used to be the same with banners loading slow but you would think that google would be able to serve ads faster than this. Iy might be that the old doubleclick site can't handle the traffic, but then they need to fix that.
I have the same issue with ANYTHING Google image related, and that includes Google owned Youtube when it's trying to fetch the thumbnails for videos. Same with adsense ads that have image banners. It's very frustrating when trying to view or even update my own sites and it's happening to other webmasters I've talked to as well. Something should be done soon!
Usually adsense ads appear after all else has finished loading what is the website you referring to (maybe we can take a look)
Economy is bad, google can't afford the servers anymore, waiting for their stock to go back up to $700 before they can get a new server and hire a new sysadmin. lol This problem pisses me off too... hundreds of site including some of mine take forever to load now because they are waiting for googleads.g.doubleclick... :-/ Time to switch to other network, CTR is horrible. :-/
Ditto to the slow ads... with the way my template sets up there are a few spots on my website which have to wait until the banner to show up before it positions properly. Its good a lot of the time but lately its irritating the players on my browser game.
