AdSense Network Outage - Ads Not Showing

getting a webpage cannot found for every ad unit

I have a Google Adsense account since 2011. I have several websites displaying ads. Since a few hours, all ads are blank or are showing a “webpage cannot be found” (depending on browser), and this is for every ad unit in all the webpages of all my websites! I’m getting crazy trying to find out why! I didn’t received any email from Google, and I don’t see any policy violations message in my account status. I didn’t change anything in my websites today, the ads simply stopped showing!

Any idea what might be the reason?

PLEASE DISREGARD MY POST, I just read in the Google support forum that it appears to be a widespread issue from Google. My ads have just started showing again.

Are you talking about the Adsense Help Forum? Just checked it out for the first time out of curiosity. Jesus what a mess, I don't see how anyone can follow it (or any other of those Google Product Forums).

I gave up going there well over a decade ago. It was Kiddie Kindergarten way back then, with nearly every high school student putting up a made for AdSense site. Earnings beat flipping hamburgers at McDonalds by a mile. It was a very transitory life for them though.

They probably now decide Google policy today - which would explain a great deal.

You are too kind indeed.

I've been noticing the same issue since yesterday. The income and page views are not moving, Once they start moving, it drops back to the first number. Today is totally disastrous !
I've tried to find an answer on the Google support forum, I could not find even a question about this issue. Who programmed that forum?

Yeah, every other post is "how long does it take my account to get approved?"

Another thing that I just noticed is that yesterday my Active View Viewable on Google Adsense stats that's usually around 50% was "-" that's even not a zero !
Of course that the websites are working ok as the traffic on them is checked also by Statcounter.

After a two weeks of lost revenue I found the solution. At least on the problem I had.
