Suddenly the ads are not showing in my large rectangle ad.. instead its just a link on bottom of the ad to google pack, and if i click anywhere within the rectangles area i get directed to the google pack page.. Whats this about?
Well... first of all you should not be clicking your own ads to see what's wrong. Second, it could be something like a flash video ad, and you don't have flash player installed.
No i didnt actually click it, I just hold my mouse over and it changed to a hand like it does when you can click. I just assume it leads to the Google Pack page because thats the url shown. And i do have flash installed, in addition i asked a friend to go to the page and he got the same thing.
hummm, this is odd. i never see something like this before. its this kind of ads still showing? or it just another adsense new format?
yes its still showing like this... trying to figure out this.. didnt think google pack was even supposed to be shown in any ads, only the referal buttons?
I wouldn't worry too much at the moment. Wait a day and see what happens. It may start displaying proper ads again. In the meantime, email the AdSense team and explain the situation. If it doesn't correct itself, they will have an answer for you in a few days.
Its still showing this way today.. I did email the adsense team about it so awaiting a reply from them. Only good thing about is I had several signups for google pack, lol got no idea why people will click a white add and then sign up for something, but at least it gave me 50 cent for each referal
