Yessir they are. Wondering if redirects could be causing the problem (like from the banner tracking script)?
I'm using the .NET version of the code actually... I've tried it both with and without the extra CSS code in there and both ways produce the same result. As far as I can guess, it would seem that the ad network server simply needs to be able to see the ID in the link class. I'm probably just doing something real dumb (that's usually the problem).
Net familiar with the asp version. But when you make the chane without the style, you need to flush out your ad_network_ads.txt file and then validate. That .txt keeps a cache of up to 400 ads and you can't have a mixture of both.
Ok, am using the code EXACTLY as it in the sample script from this forum here (except displaying 4 ads instead of 5) Flushed out the ad_network_ads.txt file again as well, but still no go. Do you have to wait a while again after flushing the file or something?
It should be instant... What is being produced for the output? (On the HTML page after it loads in your browser).
Here's the output: <span id="lblAd1"><a href="http://www.suonerie-gratis.eu.com" class="8dhf2kjj">Suonerie Gratis</a></span> | <span id="lblAd2"><a href="http://www.wakeboarder.com/products.php?products_id=45_71" class="h83jd7hf">Spy Sunglasses</a></span> | <span id="lblAd3"><a href="http://www.drstag.co.uk/?stag.party" class="h83jd7hf">Stag Party</a></span> | <span id="lblAd4"><a href="http://www.e-recht24.de" class="8dhf2kjj">eRecht24.de - Ihr Portal zum Internetrec</a></span> Code (markup): And it's on every page of the site, and the text file has been flushed multiple times, and I have typed my URL correctly into my account settings.
I'm starting to think that it perhaps doesn't like the ASP redirects used in the script that tracks banner clicks. Maybe changing the programming to use a 301 redirect from this script/page would work and enable me to validate my account?
Are you using the API to validate? If you copied your API key wrong into your account then it won't validate. Found it... It's not on ALL pages: http://www.yoursite.com/community/album/main.aspx?ID=12&P=48 Neither on: http://www.yoursite.com/vendors/vendor_promotions.aspx?PID=426 Do a site:www.yoursite.com search in Google and make sure the ads are on each and every one of those indexed by Google.
Ahhhh Bloody frameset. I knew it had to be something dumb... Surprised google catalogued the last link; it's done via a javascript popup. Isn't the co-op programming supposed to tell you where the ads are not found though? ----------------------------------- Edit = Mission abort for now.... Thanks for all the help!! (gotta work on things to find a way to get the ads on these pages in an unobtrusive manner before trying to validate again.)
