Unwanted non-google ads covering google adsense banner/text ads

Discussion in 'AdSense' started by Monguse, Apr 1, 2011.

    Recently, amerisave ads and a jobs ad have been covering up my usual google banner ads near the top of my home page. These are invasive non-google ads. They are approximately the same size as the normal google banner text ads, except that the amerisave ad is slightly narrower and exposes the very bottom of the google ad it almost completely covers. I have looked at the google adsense code for my website and can't find anything suspicious. But it appears that some malicious code has invaded my website and is randomly posting these ads over the google adsense ads. Any ideas?

    I appreciate your offer but, I looked at the source code (view source) when one of the invasive ads was showing. I copied and pasted it to note pad and then compared it to the normal google adsense code for that specific format copied from the google site where the code for the ad was generated a couple of years ago. They were exactly the same.

    I haven't been able to duplicate this problem with internet explorer. It seems to happen only on firefox and not constantly, but randomly after hitting refresh over and over. I've run two well known and effective anti-virus programs and found nothing except some low threat tracking cookies. So I am hard pressed to figure out where these unwanted ads are coming from. You're welcome to take a look nevertheless...www.flyalaska.com. I talked to a tech support guy from my web host and he was unable to get the invasive ads to propagate on his computer after several refreshes.

    Thanks

    It seems the problem is on your computer. I am using chrome and done several refreshes on your website but don't see anything other than google ads.

    Thank you both for taking a look. Glad to hear that it seems to be a local issue. So far can't find the source of the problem.

    I'm using chrome and your website looks nothing wrong, either. Two ads under the header and on in sidebar.
