Hi all, With everyone now designing adsense more and more into the layout of their pages, how do you overcome the fact that sometimes google doesn't send any ads for displaying. Having a blank space can sometimes look very very silly - and it can happen quite regularly when displaying 2 or more adsense blocks. Has anyone devised a way of detecting whether G is returning an ads for a specific block ?
Why not just use an alternate ad url that shows something apprpriate? That's the approach I have taken at least.
Alternate ads work well on that occasion. Just whip one up. Heres the google help topic. https://www.google.com/support/adse...=en:search&query=alternate+ads&topic=0&type=f
I had thought that the alternate url was just for if PSA's were shown. I'm seeing many occaisions just a blank square - I'll have a play with the alternate url thingy.
Correct, that's exactly what it does. For some reason, I'd thought that the alternative url only worked if a PSA was returned.
