IE7 and Adsense

Sometimes I'm unable to see adsense ad

[iProgram]

Sometimes I'm unable to see adsense ad with IE7. No alt ad and no PSA. No problem with firefox and IE6. I use default IE settings and sometimes it works and sometimes not. Check yours.

PS. One banner and one medium rectangle on that page. These two ads can be seen at the first time. If I refesh the page, the rectangle (below the banner) is gone. If I refesh the page again, the banner is gone too. And I have to restart IE 7 to see adsense again on this site. No problem with Firefox with this refesh test and no problem with some other sites.

Try deleting your browser's cache...

It's not a browser cache problem. Now I am unable to see some adsense ad on some domains and I have to refresh my browser (IE7) to see all adsense ads on that site. No problem with IE6 and Firefox.

The latest Beta version of IE does in fact seem to arbitrarily fail to display ads sometimes. On my site, the only ad that seems to be affected is the non-Google leaderboard at the very top of the page. Sometimes it shows up, sometimes it doesn't. It is the very first bit of code on the page, so perhaps that is why it's the most variable.

Lots of things in the Beta version are shaky so I think it's a little early to worry about this. On the other hand, Microsoft has designs on the contextual ad market so anything is possible.

Installed IE7 Beta immediately after reading this thread. It looks like a combination of Opera and Firefox. Probably Microsoft is trying to discourage users from switching to Firefox. The fonts looks thicker and the color looks a bit grayish on my Dell notebook.

You are right. Adsense is invisible under IE 7. If all users switch to IE 7 beta it would be disastrous for all of us. I wonder whether Microsoft is deliberately doing that. :S

Adsense is invisible under IE 7

But MSN ads show just fine?

Haven't visited sites with MSN ads.

No the IE7 Beta 2 is an advertisement of Firefox to me. I have to use Firefox now becuase some features based on javascript of some common websites are not usable at all. (For example, the "Delete" feature of phpmyadmin)

IE7 only has problem with some web page which uses more than one adsense ads. If the second ad was blocked by IE7, you won't have any change to see adsense ads on your entire site unless you press the refresh button. No problem if your page uses only one adsense ad.

It was a rhetorical question (and an attempt at humor).

Don't run beta software and expect not to have problems. IE7 is just in Beta 2.
