There are lots of reasons why PSA's display on a site - if you search this forum, you will see many threads on that subject.
If you have access to your sites log file see if mediabot has visited any of your pages or maybe are you blocking the bot access with your robots.txt file.
This is what google recommend
User-agent: Mediapartners-Google*
Disallow:
or you can have a blank robots.txt file so you don't block access, or could be you don't have any text on the pages for the bot to index
Could be other reasons also but try these first
Google's growth is entirely dependent on foreign markets.
Foreign markets obviously are a growth area, but there's still huge growth potential within the U.S. They have only a tiny, tiny percentage of the American advertising market.
I can believe they are going to try very hard to sign up as many foreign publishers as they possibly can.
Certainly they'll want to sign up foreign publishers in areas where they offer geotargeting.
Instead of commercial ads, it shows those public ads.
eg
Registered url: www.registered.comPage url: ht*p://example.registered.com/
or
Page url: ht*p://registered.com/
If none of this applies, do as hyperkik suggested & search the threads.
Good luck.
but there's still huge growth potential within the U.S.
I've read some internal memos from Google (in a little known white paper) that shows their growth potential for the US market is not as much as you would expect and is probably over rated by the public.
99 percent of all webmasters are not making some of the most obvious connections from all this.
Sorry, I can't say anything more. Not trying to be "difficult" but I leave my implication open that there is a lot more going on here.
