Normally I have two 160x600 blocks which have 5 ads in each on a white background with a white border (i.e. on my pages - which are white - no background and no border)
Today one of them had 7 ads on a grey background with a black border.
I didn't think there WAS a 7 ad unit block. The text was smaller of course, in order to fit it all in.
Even if there was a 7 ad-unit block, my code should be for the 5 unit 160x600 block.
Anyone else seen this or know what's going on?
I know they can reduce the number of ad units in a given block, but I didn't think they ever increased it and change the specified background and border colors!
Oddly enough I'm seeing this using Firefox, but not using IE6 or Opera. This isn't the first time I've noticed different ads in different browsers, but this is the first time I've seen different ad formats displayed.
An if it is a graphic ad, who is making it up? It had 7 ads for 7 different companies, so it must be Google that's putting it together and why would they do that?
And why would it show up in Firefox but not IE6 or Opera?
It's gone right now, but I'm keeping an eye on my site using Firefox to see if it comes back!
If it does I guess I'll send a screen capture to AdSense and ask them what's going on.
120 x 600 skyscraper + 120 x 240 vertical banner, both with invisible borders, in a table with borders...=7 ads
Easy enough to do, was it similar?
The other 160 x 600 block on the page was normal.
I still haven't seen it again.
No, it was obviously one 160 x 600 block with 7 ads in smaller type.
And you didn't look at the source code?
I assume it would be the source code that's always displayed, i.e. the standard javascript call supplied by Adsense.
I don't see any way Adsense can change my source code.
What I assume is that they were sending something different from usual back as a result of that same call, but of course that doesn't show up when you look at the source code of the page in a browser.
