    Hi,

    I've created an account, and set it as phpbb 2.x forum, and put in the URL "http://www.darksoft.co.uk". However, whenever I try to validate it, it comes up with this:

    "Ads not found on http://www.darksoft.co.uk/blog/?s=archives"

    I don't know why its checking in the Blog directory, because I already set it to the homepage.

    I see the ads running on your site, so you must be close to getting it right. I am going to forward your question to a friend who is a guru at installing the ad network.

    you need to show ads on every page of your site. and the way the ad network checks this is by the pages indexed by google.

    if you search google for www.darksoft.co.uk the second result is www.darksoft.co.uk/blog/?cat=2

    it does come up with a 404 error so the ad network shoudl get this and validate but you may just need to wait for google to deindex all the old pages.

    you can sign up for webmaster at google and manually remove these pages from the index. that would probably work or just keep clicking validate over and over again like i do :D

    Dang turbosatan, you are the biggest help ever!
    I've been searching and searching for a question that is similar to the Original Poster's but the solution was answered by you:
    "may just need to wait for google to deindex all the old pages."
    Thank you!!!
