Browsing across my site and noticed some blocks were PSA's. I have never gotten them at all so I was a bit worried so I went to another site of mine completely different content same thing.

I then started looking at other peoples sites and noticed they too were getting them.. Is it just me?

Or better, everytime you'll see PSAs on your sites, logon to your WW account, post a topic about it, then go back browsing your sites, and presto.... ITS GONE.

If you actually read my initial post, you would know that isn't what I did.

I began noticing on my site while I was working so after a while it continued, so I began to browse other sites that I know have Adsense ads. They were having the same issue. After about a total of an hour, I checked here to see if anyone else was noticing the issue. There were no threads about it, so I started one.

I have never really had PSA's except for my first day in Adsense. There are so many advertisers in my category it never runs out. The fact that I saw it amongst many other non-related, topically different sites indicated there may have been an issue.

In fact, I am guessing there probably was a temporary problem that forced Google to show PSA's.

Some pages had blank ads, some had ad's in a spot, then PSA in another spot on the same page. It was completely out of character for Adsense.

Then do again what you did. Then go back to your site, and presto... ITS GONE!

saw this too this morning - PSAs on pages i've never seen them before... visits are normal, but numbers are way off what they should be (clicks and ecpm are 1/2 down).
