One page only shows public service ads

Wny does one page only shoe public service ads?

[bouncybunny]

I have a Widgets news/reviews site.

One particular page only ever shows public service ads. It is in the same format as other pages, it is a very popular subject within the widgets industry and the page content does not contain any 'bad' words that I can see.

This is the only page on the site that behaves in this way.

Any suggestions?

I've seen similar behavior that a given page didn't want to play along, but when I copied the exact same content on a different URL it did work.

It was a domainname that I had picked up after it expired and it had been parked before.

After contacting adsense support they wrote me back to let me know they removed the blocking they seemed to have had in place.

SO if the site previously had dubious content, check with adsense support ...

Thanks. But I've owned this domain for about ten years with very inoffensive content.

I also had a similar issue a few years ago worn ads not appearing at all until I changed the page name. Odd...

Same thing is happening here.
i have a site that was about 25% PSAs. I contacted Adsense and they said ads were being served.
I cleared the cache, even checked on another computer, still PSAs.
I did the repost thing too.
So Adsense says I'm getting ads but PSAs are showing up.
My only solution...no inventory for that subject.
OR, not enough content to trigger the ads.
Okay...that's two solutions isn't it?
I feel like the Spanish Inquisition.

I ran into this problem, too. It affected the page that brought the most traffic to my site. My solution, and it was a hard one, was to remove AdSense from the page and replace it with someone elses ads.

I discovered that I made even more money than before. I have to thank Google because without if PSA hadn't become such an issue I might never have experimented and discovred that AdSense was not, at least for that page, the highest performing ad.

Now I'm trying out alternatives each and every day and using AdSense less and less. I really suggest exploring alternatives to AdSense. If PSA's are showing what have you got to lose?

[bouncybunny]

Adsense does very nicely for me for the most part. It's just this one page.

I've checked through the content with a fine tooth comb and there are no obvious words that could be misinterpreted as 'sensitive'. Even Mary Whitehouse would have approved. ;) It's not a huge problem, as only one page is affected, but just odd.

something similar happened to me too.
i contacted adsense and they had it fixed in just a few days.

Usually it's because your page or the URL has a banned keyword (however innocently they may occur - even words run together in a URL have been triggering lately).

When you complain and ads are reinstated on those pages, it's because they've manually whitelisted that URL.

WORDS OF CAUTION!
Remember I said I asked Adsense to look at the site that had ads on it?
They did and they said ads were being served and everything was okay?
Well I got another e-mail yesterday from them.
Evidently the site wasn't alright after all and they pulled Adsense from that site.
Now as a precaution, I am pulling Adsense from ANY of my sites showing even one PSA.
I would say something about the left hand not knowing what the right hand is doing, but it appears your site being compliant depends on who there at Adsense is looking at it.
Mind you the site wasn't reported, "I" asked them to look at it myself, so I accept the blame for this.
