Internet explorer, with no ad blockers turned on, does not show AdSense ads. There is only blank space. Opera and Netscape work fine showing the same pages. The problem seems to be intermittent. No ads for an hour or two, then for no reason they return. Is this an Internet Explorer bug? or can the AdSense Script recognize the browser that it is serving? Anyone else notice this problem? Since the vast majority of people use IE, how much revenue are we losing?

Are you sure it isn't an issue with Norton Internet Security? Many don't realize it has a built in ad-blocking feature that is turned on by default.

It could also be an issue with it showing PSAs. Some have it set up to show a blank space instead of PSAs.

I am not having any problems seeing ads in IE.

I do have Norton Internet Security, but why would that block ads on IE and not block ads on Opera or Netscape?
