    Hi there,

    http://www.compareonlineloans.com/ wont validate for me.

    The error page simply says

    Ads not found on (blank)

    Have updated to latest code etc... Ads display fine.

    Your server isn't seeing the $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] variable properly. Maybe a proxy server involved on the front end of your server?

    Could you please have another look.

    I have checked everything I can think of. Out of about 20 sites with the same setup format this is the only one failing - same sites, same server etc...

    Did you change something? Looking at it again isn't going to yield anything different if you didn't.

    I re-added all code, regenerated the site.

    I think its something at your end as the site is displaying your code etc. and is same format as all my other sites and also on the same server. Your previous response didnt make sense. Hoping there might be something else you could suggest.

    are you running more then one adnetwork on the site?
    i'm seeing 10 links at the bottom, co op has a max of 5 (that count for weight anyway) so i wasn't sure if it was just more co op links or if it's another network.

    Looks like the script is working on your end now, but maybe your Google API isn't? If you are using a Google API, double check it, or remove it.

    No other network. Those are just static links.

    Am using the API link in your script if thats what you mean. I double checked it, removed it, replaced it and same error.

    When I run the validation its says:

    Ads not found on

    After the on it is just blank. No page shown etc. Normally it shows some error.

    Have you tried removing the Google API key altogether?

    Same problem here. Everything has been running happily silently until I got the message that it failed validation. Nothing changed on the site, tried revalidation without success. Banners are clearly visible at http://www.thestarbuilders.com

    Tried following Shawn's instructions - removed Google API but still wouldn't validate, put it back in - no change...

    Any ideas would be appreciated.

    they're not clearly visible - you have an error saying the adnetwork file needs to be writable. change the permissions and you should be fine

    Hah - Thanks for looking Wendy, but you looked when I was updating it all - I removed all the coding and reinstalled it - no success - removed it again then put it back using the ad_network filenames - then it worked.. Great - site now validates - but no weight this time... No problems
