out of service?

I was making some test during the last couple of months and since a few days ago it is not returning ads anymore.

Was ca-test pub id removed? out of service?

I use it sometimes, just did yesterday in fact, and it worked for me...

It is not working for me. It has not working the last 3-4 weeks. I've changed IP's, I guess they're banning the whole country.

Could you please post your code?

I've just found some sites that use adsense test, they are asrep, #*$! and adsenseguide.
I tried all these from 3 different IPs and they show no ads at all.
Again, could you please post your code? I'm going nuts.

Sure, all I really do is replace ad_client's value with ca-test. But I only use ca-test on my local machine, while developing the sites. Perhaps that's part of the problem, are you using ca-test on a live domain? Perhaps Google won't display test ads for spidered pages?

<script type="text/javascript"><!--
google_ad_client = "ca-test";
google_ad_width = 160;
google_ad_height = 600;
google_ad_format = "160x600_as";
google_ad_type = "text_image";
google_ad_channel = "";
google_color_border = "FFFFFF";
google_color_bg = "FFFFFF";
google_color_link = "0000FF";
google_color_text = "000000";
google_color_url = "008000";
//--></script>
<script type="text/javascript"

</script>

I've just create an html document and opened with FF, IE and Opera, ads are not shown.
I pasted the exact text you posted.

Did you try some of the websites I told are not showing ads? For example asrep dot com, is supposed to have a test section showing google ads in test mode and are not being displayed now.
