I'm pretty sure your URL will get edited out; I can't see ads on your page either, but mine are running just fine, so either your code is wrong or else you better take it up with Google.

maybe the URL where you put your ad on was banned.
try to add the Google ad into another page under different urls.

Reading some of the other posts, it sounds like some people are seeing problems with their ads, so I wouldn't panic just yet.

Well, I made some research and people who have 403 errors seem to have gotten banned! Anyways, what do you guys recommand as an Adsense alternative, if the issue isn't resolved.

Woah don't jump in with the 'b***ed' word. No need to cause a panic! :-)

If you're in the U.S., have you tried contextual ads with YPN (Yahoo)?

Well, maybe I am banned after all.. But I don't see any reason that would explain why I would be banned.

And, I live in France, and I hear the Yahoo program is for US residents only!

thepuzz90 if you were banned I assume you would not see an error. You would see nothing. There are talks of AdSense display problems in another topic at the moment [webmasterworld.com...] so I wouldn't worry myself.

Hey thanks frakilk, you're kinda reassuring me!

[1][edit reason] URL? See TOS [webmasterworld.com]. ;) [/edit] [/edit][/1]

I need AdSense reassurance myself as well but that's for another topic. I think it's against forum rules to post URLS.

I know what is wrong. If you run a bot on google (e.g. scraping search results), you may trip a filter and the ip used to run the botton will receive a 403 error (forbidden). This has nothing to do with adsense, though it is against their TOS to run bots and I wouldn't advise doing that. I would suggest changing your ip address either by using a proxy or change the MAC address of your router. Then you will be able to see ads again. I assume you also can't access google.com?

I can access Google, Gmail and every Google service just fine! Every visitor on my site gets a 403 error in the ad zones.

I got this a week ago, Google ended up apologising to me twice as they basically banned my account by mistake...

Twas quite funny in the end, especially as I totally freaked out but just contacted adsense and got it sorted fast.

However, it still took 24 hours to get fixed as the ads can't be fixed instantly.

If you have been banned I think you would have an email by now ;0)

Nope no emails! But did you get 403 errors?

thepuzz, email AdSense support and ask what's up.

I have! I'm still waiting for an answer.. They're kinda slow for the web's leading company.

I am more reassured now as well, I have the SAME problem. I have ONE account with Google for 3 sites, problem is, it's ONLY doing that to ONE url, NOT all of them! Weird, it is my best site, VERY good, relative ads, and advertisers were very happy. I think a lot of us are in the same boat here.

I first saw this happening on Sat, July 30th. Followed by blanks on Aug 1st.

I agree with some of you and Google is pissing me off too. I have switched MOST of my ads to Yahoo as a result. I will work with Google (have been sending e-mails back and forth), yet will never trust them again. They can really screw you when doing that! People tend to get really pissed when they see 403 errors in your pages. Google is simply asking to be taken down by pissing so many millions off. The bigger they are, the harder they fall. I have a feeling they just might get a come-uppins before long. They really should not take us for granted. Agree?

Yeah I just don't get it! I ran my google script on an alternate host, and it worked just fine.. Google has gotta stop acting up!

Sorry for double posting, but I really don't feel like making a new topic for this.. How long does it usually for google to email you back for you guys? I've been waiting all day, yet my inbox is only filling up with my daily ammount of spam..

The last time I sent them mail, it took 2 weeks to reply.

Do you mean using websites where you can key in a key phrase and your URL to find your current ranking?

I ran my google script

Ever thought of using the googleapi?

I got a reply within about 4 hours. The person I email gets back to me very very fast every time.

4 hours, I've been waiting for more than 24 hours, it's really starting to get on my nerves!
