Does anyone know why this is happening?

Thanks!

Holy cow, that is wild!
I've been catching a lot of PSA's sneaking into my sites. No reason for them really. It must have something to do with the new Adwords system adjusting.

So, you don't even get PSA's on Adlinks pages? Interesting. That must be weird for the customers.

(They must be scrambling at the plex, because it's "too obvious" that Google lost money yesterday. A bunch of advertisers turned off their ads, and many became inactive)

I tried checking from another computer. And they started appearing again. One would think that google would try a little BETA testing on these "improvments". God knows they leave things that acctually work in beta forever (gmail, desktop search, etc, etc...)

Adsense ads do not appear on any sites I visit... include mine... I think there is a major problem at google as it is happening everywhere...

Doesn't appear to be a problem here.

It's OK up here except less ads than normal.

When I first added Adlinks on my site, one of the keywords links would connect to a blank page as well, but the other 3 were always on target. The rogue keyword was well targeted but never showed any ads. After about 2 or 3 days, the keyword disappeared and never came back. My guess was the keyword was valid but no advertisers had bid, thus no ads to display. You would think the keyword would never show in the first place if this was the case.
