Slow ads with errors

= revenue drop and poor performance

My Adsense revenue has significantly dropped in the last few days/weeks. I use a ad blocker so I don't accidentally click on my ads so I cant monitor their behavior every time I browse my site. I checked my site on another computer and I noticed my top responsive ad loads very slowly because the ads use flash. Also some of the ads show this error message in IE: VerifyError: Error #1068: com.integralads.solution

Is there a way to block ads with flash in Adsnese? Also is there a way to speed the ads so they don't always load last on the page. Also is there a way to stop error messages like that showing while people browsing?

Take screenshots and send them into AdSense Support. I did, and I got a credit.

I was seeing errors about 30% of the time a few weeks ago - I'm not at home now though, so I'm seeing different ads and no errors.

I emailed them couple of days ago but no reply, even though they are supposed to write within 24 hours.

If you haven't heard in a week, write again. You should have at least gotten an automated acknowledgement with a case #.

Yes I got an automated acknowledgement with a case #. So I will wait and see. Properly they are getting tons of similar requests.

A rather unscientific comparison using my laptop at a friend's house. It felt much quicker downloading pages on my laptop with a mobile dial up connection running at about 700meg with Flash disabled than on her PC and broadband connection at 7gig with Flash running.

I received a reply and they said they didnt find anything wrong. But obviously there is a problem and I see over and over. The ads are supper slow and with errors. Is there a way to turn off flash in the ads?

Under Allow & Block Ads / Ad serving you could try turning off things like enhanced display ads and animated display ads to see if that makes a difference. If it doesn't, then you probably need to switch your ad units individually to text ads only.

You could try this to find out exactly what is going on -

Visit your site at different times of the day - and use proxys to visit your site from different countries/locations.

Put your browser in developer mode - so you see when there are errors in the console.

I often see this error...

SEC7111: HTTPS security is compromised by https:// googleads.g.doubleclick .net/.............

Which I think is because my site is http:// and now google ads are https:// How long have the ads been secure? Is this causing the errors and slowness people are reporting?
