Google graphical ads: repeated ad in same page

Graphical ad showing twice

[silverbytes]

I have 2 horizontal skycrapper ads in page. When editing page and testing in browser I see same advertiser and same ad in both spaces what is odd.
Perhaps that just happens in my test but I'd hate that same page have a "duplicated" ad, like twins.

Does that happens really?
Is there any way to stop it?

Replace the skycrapper with a skyscraper--that might help.

And maybe you need some sky TP to clean up afterwards. Make sure you wash up be for you drop any more code!

I see this occasionally on my site. I have a skycrapper :-) on the right, and a 728x90 banner at the bottom. It is usually image ads that are duplicated, but I have also seen groups of text ads duplicated.

Most pages on my site require some scrolling to get to the end, so the reader almost never sees both ads at the same time. Right now, I've got one advertiser that seems to be doing this quite a lot (for me, I have no idea what others are seeing).

Nobody else wants to talk about their SKYCRAPPER?

I find that hard to believe!

Yes we some time have 3 similar ads in homepages....but not always so....

skycrapper ads really put my CTR in the crapper.
