This is really weird. I replaced 3 responsive ads on my main site with 3 non responsive ads. The first displays but the other two don't. What's going on ? I did PM Netmeg but haven't heard back yet.

For those not seeing ads, are you using the plugin Quick Adsense to place your ads?

@For those not seeing ads, are you using the plugin Quick Adsense to place your ads?

Yes

I can't believe this. It looks like I'll have to go to media.net as a backup and rethink how and where I place adsense ads. The RPM has been crappy lately too despite good traffic from the U.S. and all over the world. Compared to last year, the CPC from small countries, in particular, has been terrible.

I'm wondering if Quick Adsense might be the problem. It hasn't been updated and we had a Wordpress upgrade.

My Google ads are not showing up and I don't use any CMS.

Azlinda - cms would be Quick Adsense for example?

No ads on my site neither, just blank cavities. Whats going on?

Like many others my earnings have crashed thorough the floor, more than 50% down on this time last year. My Ad Review Center is just page after page of absolute garbage, seeing lots of foreign based junk ads from countries like India and Vietnam for some reason but even the US ones are terrible. I decided to block a few of these junk ads to see what would happen, few hours later checked my website on a browser with interest ads turned off and saw that there were almost no ads showing at all. So Google have given me the choice of showing a small number of garbage ads or nothing at all.

@nubchai - My site is not WordPress. It's HTML5, CSS3. I don't use a content management system.

O.k. I replaced my responsive Adsense ads with non responsive Adsense ads and they're displaying. This appears to be a problem in serving responsive ads. I've checked non responsive and they appear on desktop, tablet and smartphones. That may be a quick fix for others.If it works please let us know. Thanks.

Thanks Linda.

No ads here either... across all of my sites which range from custom built, wordpress w/quick adsense, wordpress w/o quick adsense. I'm seeing 400 (bad requests) responses in Chrome Dev Tools when loading the page. Hoping this is just a bug and not a mass sweep of disabled accounts.

I checked my two websites (CMS driven) that are still running Adsense. Ads are still there.

I just created a 160 x 600 skyscraper and put it into my site. Instead there's a 300 x 600 behemoth in its place. Creating new ads might be a temporary fix, but there's no telling what will show up when you put them into your website.

This is ridiculous. No ads showing...What is going on?

I've changed my ads on several sites to the old non responsive and they're displaying fine. I'm guessing this is a bug related to responsive ads. I have a test site running responsive ads and they're not displaying at all.

No traffic either

google adsense at my site has stopped as of 2 hours ago. No ads, report has frozen to where it was 2 hours ago

also, the ads are not displaying at my site

within 3 minutes of posting to this forum, the ads went back up again and reports are working.

Ads are now showing but my views and earnings havn't changed in the last few hours...

Ads back on, this has cost me 3 hours of prime ad serving time!

My ads are back, but I'm taking the loss out on Adwords spending. Take that, Google!

Think adsense guys lurk these forums from time to time, or some that have better adsense relationship/support. Thank you whomever fixed the issue. Much appreciated. I see ads being served from my site that was having problems.

My guess there was a part of chain that broke and ads stopped serving to certain IP's, but it was a big range which caused a big impression drop.

What a coincidence today: first Google not serving any ads for hours and now more than 1 hour of 502 and 504 Gateway error notices at my Hostgator accounts. .

Forget adnonsense, for God's sake please forget it. Learn how to do CPA, Amazon leads and affiliate marketing and you will never look back. Learn how to create your own products..

Adsense has been abandoned, they will probably completely kill off this nonsense in the next few years. Don't ride a dead horse.

Create your own unique product, write your outstanding sales copy and get rid off this nonsense third party critter called adsense. Serve the local community.

Adsense is for lazy people who are not mentally able to write a sales copy or create a unique product.
Goo$le profits from the laziness. Get real and remove this zombie from your websites.

Only people from India will be accepting adsense pennies.

Adsense is officially dead. Accept it and start something new, start being creative instead of trusting in pennies from their dying program. Adsense is dead.

EPC/RPM started to climb for me around the 8th. This lasted for two days, after which they've plummeted. This will be my worst opening fortnight in January for several years.

P.S. I was out all day today so didn't notice a problem with ads not displaying, however Adsense impressions are significantly down on previous weekdays.

Needless to say my lowest-ever day Tuesday, honestly this is not even minimum payout level now, hero to zero, thousands to pennies, completely and utterly fubard for me.

And whilst I comprehend SEOPTI for me and my industry, probably several others too, there are no other options,

SEOPTI finished ranting yet? :-) AdSense is not dead for everybody, I don't know why people like you keep saying it is. If you rely on AdSense for income then you are foolish. AdSense is extra money each month that is very welcome but if it finished tomorrow it wouldn't affect my daily life in the slightest. As for suggesting AdSense is for lazy people who are not mentally able to write sales copy, I think you are incredibly arrogant and rude.

As for Amazon affiliate marketing, I've tried it and it's a load of rubbish, the amount of money they pay for each sale is pitiful. EBay far outweighs Amazon when it comes to affiliate marketing.

The only thing you have said that I would probably agree with is that AdSense probably will die a death at some stage in the next few years. Yes, it's quite an easy way to make money, is not exactly rocket science copying and pasting some code onto a webpage. However, first of all you got to have a decent website with content if you want to be successful AdSense. That's not lazy by any stretch of the imagination, it takes a lot of time and commitment to create a website that brings in several hundred pounds a month.
