Finally accepted

But....

At long last, I've been accepted into AdSense. This is a most happy day in that regard.

But, unfortunately, I've tried putting the ad code into my newly approved page... only to find that it's displaying a blank white area instead.

I've e-mailed Google to investigate the problem (if for some reason it's something I've done wrong). I know that this was a problem at the beginning of the month for many users, but that seemed to be an isolated breakdown that I haven't read anything new about on here today.

Also, for what it's worth, the site that got me included was one that I'd just registered the day before and that had relatively few pages involved (six or so total). But it did the trick. Now if I can just get those ads to show up...

Update: Google investigated the situation, corrected the problem, and now my targeted ads are running just fine. Hats off to Google for a great innovation in advertising and strong customer service.

I had the same issue when I first placed the ads on the site and sent a e-mail off to them but this happened the same time adsense went down a few days ago :) Congrats on your acceptance!

If you don't mind a form letter, Google has the best customer service in the businesss. They *always* reply. Gotta love it!

I added AdSense to another page, and once again the blank white space problem has popped up. From what Google told me, they put a block on sites that were declined before, meaning that Google has to manually check and approve them to run the ads. Right now I'm waiting for Google to give the go-ahead to my radio-related website...

By now from my experience I must confirm it! They have even replied my non-important question regarding cache-ing and not related to AdSense. By the way: I wonder why pages served from Google cache that contain AdSense are not showing targeted ads but just the PSAs? (Theoretically Google knows this URL already because the AdSense is there, so it could serve targeted ads without the need to spidering)

Now that is interesting - people had been speculating about whether they could get approved for AdSense, and then put those ads on an already-declined site. If they do that, it would probably also raise a flag on any account that tries to do that.

kinitz

wouldn't it be because the ads "look" at the url and the url on a cached page isn't site.com but google.cache.com?site=site.com or whatever.

same as when you look at your site off your hard drive and you get Desktop related ads....it took me weeks to work that one out and when I did, i felt an idiot.
