Well I am now in that bracket, I have a website that I checked repeatedly last night and kept on seeing PSA ads. Then this morning normal ads were showing. This makes me believe that I am losing money here as I still have a fairly respectable CTR of 2.06% the anticipated norm.
So what causes the problem? here's what I think:
My Hosting Company - Many complaints about them though I have no serious complaints myself.
A bug code on my website - I'm not a super techie just a Front Page addict so I keep my page code simple.
Google messes up from time to time - A strong possibility based on what has been happening as of late like I haven't seen my secure check yet.
No Ad inventory to show - I wonder if the recession has finally hit G's doorstep.
That's all I can think of.. can you guys who have battled this dilemma before (WON/LOSE OR DRAW)weigh in and give some ideas to prevent this from happening again
I don't know how well it actually works, but I have sometimes had luck refreshing the page a few times and/or using the AdSense preview tool a few times. I like to think that it's like a ping to Googlebot to let it know that people are visiting the page, so please come check it out and figure out relevant ads.
I mostly just see PSAs when I add a new page and Googlebot hasn't had time to come and figure out what the page is all about yet.
I seldom see them for that reason (Google seems to know what my sites are about in general). I do sometimes see them for pages that have a stop word. But I will also somtimes see a PSA that is replaced as soon as I hit reload.
