Today on my laptop, both on IE and Firefox, my index page www.ohmcheck.com is showing no relavent ads and PSA's. WTF, I have changed nothing?? Whats it look like to you, do you see them? Thanks.
Hey ohmer, I see the PSA ads. Google does that when they cannot 'find' relevant ads based upon the keywords/test that appears on the page.
thanks kentuckyslone, but this page hasn't changed in 7 months and I have 2 of the ad blocks actually missing! Has this ever happened to anyone else? could it be just a glitch, because it's hard to believe all of a sudden, google can't find ads for me.
Yeah im getting "Public Service Ads by Google " maybe you should put something on that page that would generate a quality keyword?
Just a warning, when you resize your browser window (make narrower) , your table layout obscures googles ads, behind your main center column. You should set the element with adsense to a fixed width and resize your main content area.
Hey buddy, I just checked your site again and now Google is actually displaying ads instead of the PSA
Thanks, I do know this, when I designed the site I decided that my main content was more important to view when narrowed, thanks though.
Correct me if I am wrong but do you have 5 ad units on that page? I see one at the bottom, one on right hand side, one near the top, one upper left and one lower left (none of which are PSA). Also, I think the one on the upper left may be against Google's TOS as you have it under a heading "Categories"
No, I have -one link unit in upper left corner -one referal unit in lower left corner -one search pane near top -one ad unit near top -one ad unit on right side -one ad unit near bottom As for the links unit being under categories, I have had it like that for months now, and I modeled it after dealofday.com, which is a well known site. I figured google would let me know if it was a no no. Thanks for the responses.
It was my understanding that we were allowed to use only 3 google ad elements per page, which includes link units. Someone correct me if I am wrong, sorry I am too lazy to go check with the terms
From Google: Can I place more than one link unit on a page? Yes, you may place up to three link units on a page, in addition to the three standard ad units and two search boxes you're permitted to display. Just make sure the page complies with our program policies
Yeah Deads, I contacted google directly with my problem, and today my site was back to normal. Magically, with no reply from them at all?? Wierd, but I'm happy.
