Adsense missing?

[tomkee]

I dont see adsense on my pages any more. not even alternate ads. Is it just me?

Ads are showing on my site. Have you tried logging into your adsense account page?

[tomkee]

No problem logging in. It has been going on for at least a half hour now. Dont see it on competitors pages either

i get that problem sometimes too. the spot will show totally blank ... thought it was something specific to my computer, a bug of some sort with IE or whatever.

Oops..Thats right. Unknown browser problem. It works fine from an Opera browser. Thanks

No workie with IE or Firefox

This was a problem I saw happen if people were clicking on ads too often. The ads would not show up on a particular ip address but I would call someone else and they would see them.

I have a client who nearly got banned from Adwords and he still has his account BUT whenever he goes to a page with Google Adwords on it, his browser crashes... BUT when the Google Adwords were removed from the html, his browser displayed the page correctly... Is this a virus or a new tracking toy developed by Google?

Suggestions and discussions are welcome..

i don't think its tied to clicks. i think its tied to pageviews, because it happens to me only when i've been doing certain types of site updates that require me to do a lot of page refreshes and double checks.

For me, it started working on its own after a day. Strange.. it went off on its own and came back on its own. I did not consciously change any IE settings.

Anyway Google support emailed me a list of potential causes/solutions. Paraphrasing email below.

-Security settings set too high.
-Active scripting is disabled

Solutions
-Install latest security patches
-Turn off ad blocking
-Clear browser cache and cookies.
-install AdAware

I don't think it is tied to clicks or pageviews. My guess is that its an IE bug or something to do with adware.
