If this is not the case, I recommend emailing adsense-support@google.com with any specific URLs relating to this issue.
I have seen "Cheapie free webservices" do this as it limits their bandwidth usage. The often like to use massive proxy / cache servers and google ads do not cache well ;)
I would also get of the free host as soon as possible... if your site is making some google money use some of it to get to a new host ;)
It might be that yoru host ahs set the google ads to 127.0.0.1 in their hosts file.I have seen "Cheapie free webservices" do this as it limits their bandwidth usage. The often like to use massive proxy / cache servers and google ads do not cache well ;)
Baffers, unless I am completely wrong this would do nothing to the display of Adsense ads.
The 127.0.0.1 trick works if you apply it to the client box, not to the server box, i.e. if the user that is seeing your pages makes this change to his hosts, HE won't see the ads, if the host does it, it won't impact the display of ads.
There are tricks that might achieve a similar result (for example, denying access to the Mediapartners bot) but that would cause untargetted ads or PSA, not 403s.
I guess it is possible that it only works on the actual machine but i have seen at my work LAN that the files / URL i have in the proxies server's banned sites area give a "You do not have permission to view this site" standard reply.
My problem is that i do stuff and it works then i dont know how it worked :) I am new in unix based stuff so spend 90% RTFM and 10 % doing hehehe.
Point is.. i think that the problem is one of three things.
1.) your host is somehow blocking google ads.
2.) your account si disabled with google. (try to log in to google-adsense and youl know soon enough)
3. it might be possible that you have the wrong client number and someone elses account is disabled. it would suprise me though if youve been going for a few months and didnt notice that your funds arnt coming in...
So I think if you check those three things you might get an answer to your problems...
