I don't visit our site very much to check the ads, but yesterday and today I have, and what I found is a bit confusing.

This happened at first yesterday, then seemed to 'go away', only to return today.

What Happens
The title for the ads and the urls don't appear. I'm aware of the 'missing url' experiments, but not the missing titles. On top of this, the bottom border gets cut off a bit, so that the bottom part of 'ads by google' gets truncated; it's readable, but looks horrible.

Anyone else experience this?
All colors are set to a blue color, except the background, which is white. When they 'worked', the border wasn't cut off.

If you are running Norton Internet Security, or a similar program with ad blocking features (these seem to be coming with ad-blocking turned on by default) the title/link will be missing.

It may also appear or not appear based upon whether the Adwords advertiser is using the conversion tracker (which uses a different URL from the one usually seen in AdSense links) or not.

Hiliarious - I never even put two and two together. I had dropped my firewall and NIS yesterday as we were troubleshooting other problems...

Thanks jenstar!
