Thread: Adsense ads not showing up or delayed???

Is it me or does it seem like adsense ads, ie., when you created a new marketing / ad unit seem to take a day and forever to show up on a website?

Today for the life of me, I cannot get these darned ads to show up on a new site I bought. A view of the source in a browser shows they are there, so it is not like I did something wrong..

Thoughts?

Can you post the site or PM it to me and I'll take a look.

Thanks

The code looks fine. You say that you bought the site from someone. Could it be that the previous owner was banned from adsense?

It's not just you it's taking forever on my sites as well.

Yes, I recently bought it... I don't think they were banned though.

Yeah, looks like it is just taking a long time... argh... Oh well, no I see PSA's, so I guess it is working now. Thanks!

Same here. It makes it difficult to get an idea of what looks good where when you have to wait forever to see the results...

Yep, plus the new ad code I do not like one bit.
The old one you could edit so easily, now this new system,

Both have their good points, wish you could select which one to use.

Yeah, I liked the old code as well.. I would hardly ever visit the ad setup page... I would just make my own, change the sizes and colours and away I went!!!

Of course it is nice that you can manipulate your ads site wide with the click of a button from adsense without even touching the site... But, that only applies to the colour, channel, etc... not the ad type/size.

It annoys me so much that new way of doing it. By the time you can check to see if your colours look right, you have to login again to edit it. With the old system, I could leave that section open for days to tweak the code (or get new codes for other sites). Just hit the back button and bob's your uncle

I realize they say it could take up to 10 minutes, but today it has been averaging several hours...

Where possible, I use my old codes and just change the channel where is has "google_ad_channel = "";"

Same here, but we have a lot of new sites being built, so we are kinda starting fresh!

Yeah I am building sites all the time, that is why I decided to use the simple old version of the code. It saves a heck of a lot of time.
