I've been running some refferal ads for the past 3 days, now all of a sudden the banners are not showing and the program is nowhere to be found. Do programs just stop like this with no warning?
I hav enoticed the same thing in one of my sites where I was running the referals. I chose one ad unit to be a large banner image, and for a few days, it was appearing fine. Now however, its 50%-50% whether that banner shows, or whether they show text ads in its place. It might have something to do with the box saying "Show me the best ads" or something like during the set up for the code.
I've had the same problem a few times.. One time it was because I had the "show best performing ads" option.. i re-added the code without that option and it fixed it.. A few other times I just had to re-add the code to fix the problem..
no you all got it wrong. Please read the Help again. Why this happens? coz the advertisers is run out of budget or stopped the campaign. hope that helps everyone.
Thats prolly something different then by the way, did you notice the crawl rate is now available for "Faster" crawling?
My bestpaying referral that generated half my referral earnings only runs 12pm to 8am now v/s 24 hours like it use to run... guess they cannot afford 24 hours anymore The other referrals which fit my content pay 1/2 or less of what that referral does... The last 3 days have been so bad with conversions it is unreal.. 2 out of 171... The referrals I use are directly related to my site so it seems almost impossible for that rate of conversion
Same thing happened to me. I emailed them and they said they would forward my email to their engineering team. It's been almost two weeks now and no change but the couple of PPA ads I created before still run on my website and I still get conversions. Very weird.
guys, Advertisers can stop the program at any time, so if you havent select best performing ads then, your banners will stop showing up. If you have selected best performing ads, google will try fetching another high eCPM ad, if nothing is found then it wont show anything. I strongly suggest everyone to read the HELP section. The first thing to look for is adsense help, it has almost every answer to your question but people are just lazy to look around? lol. i am lazy too but i always do my research before entering into anything new. hope that helps everyone.
What I meant by "program is nowhere to be found" is not a particular advertiser campaign but rather the whole PPA section where you can select the programs. So basically there is no way for me to create new ads or even see what offers are available. As I said, PPA ads which I created before are still displayed on my sites and I continue to earn from conversions.
yeah it happens to me too. but the advertisers are still there and when i put the code back on it still doesn't work. i have to choose a new advertiser. must be a problem with google.everyone email them.
