AdSense ads do not display

Adsense ads do not display on my web site.

I've recently implemented Auto Ads. However, ads do not appear.

I am confident that the ad code placed in the <body> tag

<script async src="https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-1234567890123456" crossorigin="anonymous"></script>

and in the <head> tag

<script async custom-element="amp-auto-ads" src="https://cdn.ampproject.org/v0/amp-auto-ads-0.1.js"></script>

is correct. Auto ads is labeled as ON and the Ads.txt status is authorized at the "Manage your sites" page. Clicking on the Site URL I see "Ads.txt detected" has a green checkmark and clicking on "Check for updates" tells me "Good news, we found your publisher ID in the ads.txt file".

Using the Chrome Inspect function all pages show adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-1234567890123456 returning a status of 200.

Is it against the webmasterworld.com rules for me to pass along the URL of the afflicted page(s)?

I've been working this problem for days now and will highly appreciate any help on this matter.

Hi SoCal_resident, sometimes it can take a few days or so after you first introduce your ads code on the pages.

We don't visit sites to investigate, we prefer to educate webmasters to make their own judgements, rather than discuss specifics of any site. Anytime you have questions about what should or should not be posted, you can click that Forum Options button at the top of your post and visit the Charter which spells out the terms for each forum.

If you feel you need a site review, you can sign up as a Supporter and access the Review My Site [webmasterworld.com] forum.

NickMNS: My web site is old fashioned hand coded via BBedit.

I've followed not2easy's recommendation to become a supporter and get access to the Review My Site program.

Also I've had the code up for a week now so I've passed any waiting period.

Hey Paul, just go on Google and search 'Screenshot my website' and put your website url on multiple screenshot-type websites(make sure to enable ads to show) and try to see what other computers see when they view your website, sometimes it could be just your computer for various reasons.

If your ads show in the screenshot then you have to start wondering why you can't view them, if the ads do not show up on multiple screenshot websites, then there is something wrong and you should contact Google for more assistance.

I did not know you could get screenshots of a web site like that.

I tried some of the screenshot web sites and saw the same results- no ads. I also tried a number of independent computers such as those at the Apple Store, my wife's work and others. Still no ads.

>> you should contact Google for more assistance.
Where do I do that? When I went to the Google Adsense Help site, I was told "you aren't contacting staff here. We don't work for Google. By posting in the help group, you're simply contacting other users. To be honest, even for us, contacting staff (currently) doesn't work. Haven't received a response for 3 or 4 months now."

Webmasterworld seems to be my only choice.

Thank you for your reply.

I haven't had to contact with Google for awhile so things might have changed...You can try to tweet them, they usually respond on such platforms more than others.

Are you using a CMS like Wordpress?

Try this, create a new page, outside of any CMS you have, create a simple .php or .html page with content relating to your domain and put the code on there and see if it shows up.

yoursite.com/page-about-something-relating-to-this-domain.html

Also, check with your web hosting company/cloudflare(if you use it) to make sure they did not block the Google adsense bot ip address from visiting your server/website.

That's a good idea to approach Google on X.

I do not use Wordpress or anything similar. All pages are created with a text editor (BBEdit) using php for some custom configurations.

I am trying placing the code on another site with a different domain name and the results look promising. I'm on vacation now and will get back to the project when I am home.

Thank you for responding.
