There were two sites involved (sorry about mentioning one, it won't happen again) but we are convinced they were playing games. Even the google rep agreed that he could not make the ad appear but he was 'sure' it was. Again there was simply NO ROOM for the size ad in the first place.

I just wanted to add that the no room argument doesn't really fly. It's quite possible to have more dynamically oriented pages, using ad serving software, and css so that an ad space can be flexible enough to show different sizes of ads. So, one could set up a "space" where almost any size ads can be combined.

I have no idea whether they are doing that, of course, but the fact that there doesn't appear to be room doesn't mean there isn't room, per se.

As to why "youse guys" can't see the ads, there are probably other legit reasons besides geotargeting why that would be the case.

In any event it doesn't matter. Your ROI is zero. Whatever the reason it's zero.
