Thread: My Ads are not showing

I can't understand why my Adsense isn't showing in one of my sites: http://programotion.scienceontheweb.net.
It isn't a new site, in fact, ads have been being shown until August (this year), and then they disappeared. My Adsense control panel says they are inactive. I haven't received from Google any mail saying I'm banned or something similar. Oh and for sure, the other blocks (different ad_slot) appear perfectly in any of my others sites, and what is more, I've tryed putting those blocks in my site and they don't appear either.
Does anyone know what happens? Any idea about what could it be?
Thanks in advance.

It is hard to tell just from looking at your site's source code, but here are some ideas:

Have you clicked the diagnostic tab in the AdSense menu to see if Google has a problem accessing your site?

Have you made any chances to .htaccess which might be blocking Google?

Have you tried putting this in robots.txt to make sure Google's AdSense bot is allowed?:

User-agent: Mediapartners-Google*
Disallow:

Was a new block of AdSense code added to that page today or is that the same one that has been there? If it was recently added it might take 10 to 20 minutes to show up.

Yea, and it doesn't show any bloqued URL.

No, I'm not using .htaccess file, so the problem isn't there.

I'm not using robots.txt, what is that code supposed to do?

It is the same block, it was added time ago.

All questions answered :biggthumpup:, I still don't know what can it be :azz:, thanks for your answer anyway.

Most search engines and spiders use robots.txt to determine if they are allowed to crawl your site or not. The code I gave you for robots.txt is an explicit allow rule for Google's AdSense bot. All you have to do if you want to use it is create a robots.txt file and drop that code into it.

One thing that might work is go to your adsense account and remake the ads. Then change the code to the new ads. Sometimes Adsense have a glitch and the new ads will show up in about 10 minutes. It is worth a shot.

I took a look at your source code and didnt see a problem

Is it possible that the Google Adsense bot cant locate any appropriate ads for the keywords on the page?

I don't know, maybe, but in that case, isn't it extrange that the ads show ok and then suddenly they don't?

As a test you could add some text to one of the pages and then refresh it to see what happens. I do know that on certain pages of a site that do not have the right keywords a blank spot will appear instead of an ad. I have seen this on some of my sites from time to time as well. I may have 3 ad units on the page but only 1 or 2 of them will be displaying because the content on that particular page just doesnt have enough matching ads.

This might not be your problem, as I have no idea what the text on your site says, but it is a good possibility.

Did you always own this site or buy it from someone else and just changed the pub ID? I see you have a privacy policy, so that wouldn't be the reason.

warj, I just did the adsense troubleshooter about your problem and was sent to a form when nothing they suggested worked, so if I were you I'd go to the troubleshooter, answer all the questions, when you get to the computer ones, just act like you did them and they didn't help, they don't apply here because all of us can't see the ads so it's not just you or your computer, you will be sent to a form you can fill out to get help directly from Google.

AdSense Troubleshooter - AdSense Help Center

You should really ask the adsense support...

Thanks to everyone, I've just sent the problem to the AdSense Troubleshooter, they say I should be answered in 48 hours, maybe more.
Now let's see what they have to tell me :cool_yel:

The site was made by me, and there has never been any pub ID change.
