I can't seem to stop several image ads from showing on a 300x250 ad. I've gone to Google and changed my preference to text ads only on all channels. That didn't help. I've gotten new code and replaced the ads with the new code. That didn't help ether. I've done everything I can think of but nothing seems to work. I can't find the url to place into my filters. When I right click the ad I just get Adobe preferences. While the ads are generally targeted towards my visitor base, they're not the kind of ad that would attract any interest. My click rate has dropped close to a third and my money earned had dropped by over 25%. Any help or steps I need to take to fix this problem is greatly appreciated. Thanks
did you set the preference in the ads itself to text only? your account preference to image only will take some time to implement.
Yes. I marked "text ads only" for all channels and for all ads shown. This was done over a week ago. It seemed to work at the time but only for a day or so. As I posted earlier, the main offender seems to be in a Flash/Adobe format. When I try to find the url by right clicking so I can block it all I find is Adobe preferences. I think that if I could find the url I could block it and solve the problem.
those flash ads are a pain, sometimes they don't load well either. do you have the adsense preview tool installed? https://www.google.com/adsense/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=10005 this may be a way to find the url to block
Yes, I have the preview tool installed but I still can't seem to find the url of the ad. As far as waiting for the changes to work? I've given it over a week and still see the same ad.
unfortunatly, there doesn't seem to be a clear way to solve this. even if you do manage to block this ad another one may show up. since your problem seems to be that image ads show up when you select text only you should probably contact google about it.
