I am seeing quite a few threads with people that can't validate but when you visit the site the ads are showing fine. One of my sites, which has been in the network for as long as I can remember, just stopped validating today for no reason (ads are there as always). I will give it a day and try to revalidate tomorrow and hope it works, I really need that weight.
Looks like it might be running through some sort of proxy... doesn't seem like IP address or user agent is being seen by the server. Do you know if they are going through proxies or load balancers or something else that might mask that from the server?
No, not at all, the account has been in the network for ages and suddenly it just stopped validating, I didn't do any changes at all on the site or server.
Can you plop this into the end of your ad_network PHP file? echo '<!-- ' . $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] . ' - ' . $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'] . ' -->'; PHP: That way we can see that it sees...
Go ahead and take it off... looks okay from there... strange. What method are you using to include the file? SSI, straight PHP, or? You modify the ad network PHP code at all?
Nope, that's what's driving me crazy, site worked fine for ages and then one day it just won't validate any more. If it were a small site I would just throw it away and not bother anymore, but it was giving me quite some good weight. It includes a footer, which includes the ad code, all done with php.
Wow, I had to update the coop codes to a newer version and change the footers on all the site, but it worked. Thanks a lot for your help, Shawn.
Totally weird... I didn't really think that updating the code would do any difference, but at least it worked and its validating again
