Ads Not Showing on Some Pages

[emv6163]

I'm having a really strange issue with AdSense on my site and I was wondering if anyone had come across this before.

I have google ads on the index page of my website. I made some changes to the HTML page (didn't touch the google code), uploaded the new page, and the ads disappeared. I work on this site with a friend, he noticed that the ads were gone, so he put them back in.

I use Notepad to modify my HTML pages. He uses DreamWeaver. That's the only difference I can see, because I compared his page and my page and they were identical. I even ran them through a program to check for differences, and there were none.

As a further test, I downloaded the working HTML page, renamed it (without any modifications), and uploaded the new page. No ads.

If anyone has any suggestions, I would really appreciate it....

Dreamweaver templates may be the culprit, sometimes updating a page can cause stuff to disappear. I had a similar issue with some scripts not surviving a page update but I don't remember the specifics.

Oh, it seems you've narrowed it down to notepad. Other things I've found that make stuff disappear is machine code that can get added in a copy and paste or line breaks being reformatted to DOS instead of Linux.

BBEdit (on the Mac) allows you to see "invisibles" which will sometimes show this machine code and you can remove it. The ones I used to get were red upside down?'s.

You might take a look at this thread and see if it applies:

Maybe when you were uploading the html file via FTP, it is being sent in Binary instead of ASCII. Check your settings on the FTP software you are using.
