Strange things happening with my Adsense "link units"

    All of my other Google ad units are working absolutely fine except I'm having strange behaviour with my "link units" today. Sometimes they're showing properly and other times they show...

    Ads By Google
    View ads about:
    (and a search box here)

    Is anybody else having this issue?

    Do you have a URL for us to view this or a screenshot? Might be a new feature...

    OK, mine seem to be working fine again on one site but another is still tripping out. It was first happening on my site blogratedirectory.com where you can see I'm using two link units on the right sidebar and one Adsense referral on the left sidebar. On one of my forums (first link in signature), I display link units at the top if every message index and those seem to be screwed up right now.

    The other thing that has been bugging me is lately it seems Adsense link units are less contextual and are displaying totally irrelevant ads on my sites. On the forum, if I'm in a folder for say, about Forex Trading it's showing ads for gold jewelry or designer handbags !!!! I'm better off putting a TNX or Linkworth link there if it's going to be totally irrelevant (but Google will slap me for selling text links).

    ugh, is Google driving anybody else crazy lately ??? :)
