Referrals problem?

Since yesterday ...

[Leva]

Adsense contextuals and text link referrals show up. Graphical ads don't. It's an account-wide problem, across multiple domains that I've tested it on. I've tried various sizes of ads and various products. I'm not banned and I haven't done anything to get banned. I'm as white hat as I can possibly be.

Google has referred my inquiry to 'a specialist' this morning; I haven't heard anything further.

Firefox referrals are a very large chunk of my income. I am seeing firefox banners on other sites.

So -- am I the only person affected? Help?

I'm having trouble with most referrals not showing too.

Still no response from Google on this other than to tell me they were referring it to a specialist. Very disappointing. I am unsure if this is something specific to my account or if it's a system issue and I HATE going into the weekend not knowing. Even a, "Sorry, we're having problems ..." would have been nicer than leaving me hanging.

Since it's the weekend I'm guessing it won't be fixed until Monday, and I won't get a response.

I changed 100 adblocks back to CPC until I find out what the deal is. 24 hours with white boxes on black pages is quite annoying much to add several hundred dollars in lost conversions.

Text links are still working for me, FWIW, but at least on my site they convert at about 10% of the rate as the graphic ads.

And the problem is fixed this morning early. Guess some poor Google tech(s) got stuck working until the wee hours on a Friday night to resolve the problem.

Looks like it's going to be a good morning, too, particularly for a Saturday. :-)
