Adsense Ad problem

Hi guys, new to the forums here.

My Arsenal FC Sports Blog recently ran into some Adsense trouble..

The Clock End - Less News, More Arsenal

If you look at my homepage, there is a blank box on the right sidebar. This is usually filled by an Adsense ad. two days ago, it disappeared for no reason.

Here's where it gets weird. On my post pages, the ride sidebar ad continues to work, but the banner I have inside the article has also dissapeared. check it out:

Aston Villa 0 - 0 Arsenal

The banner should appear above 'Arsenal Player Ratings'. But doesn't.

I cant figure it out. My ads show up in certain places, but not others? I have changed nothing about the codes or implementation methods. My ads have been running for months with no worries.

I searched google and found that I needed a privacy policy adhering to Google. I did that today, but still no ads. Maybe should wait a bit longer?

I appreciate any help. Thanks.

  • Well if you use firefox and fire up firebug it gives you a 400 bad request error for that adsense ad.
  • Has your account been banned because adsense has received abnormal clicking on your adverts?
  • Hi, no my Adsense is not banned. My ads show as 'Active'.

    Why is it 404'ing? The code for the front page is the same as the code on the post page? yet one shows and one 404's?

    • Its a 400 error, which could mean your code is wrong. Do a search on google for adsense 400 error
  • Actually you get that 400 bad request on all of your pages. I would simply verify if the code looks ok on the front page compared to the sub pages for your adsense ad unit.
  • One thing I noticed is you have your ad code on all one line on both front page and sub pages, however you have a <br/> between the script tags on the sub pages and not on the home page. Perhaps that is the problem? The script include needs to be on the new line?

    • Thanks Sillysoft,

      Hmm...Well the Ad code on the home page and subpage side bars are both the same code for sure. The only different code i have is the 'in article' banner which fails to display also.

      I'm trying to get to the bottom of this 400 bad request error.

      You see, the side bar ads are both triggered via wordpress widgets. the same widget which currently works on the subpages, does NOT work on the homepage. despite being the same widget.

      The banner inside my articles is triggered by a separate plugin. Which means it must be to do with Adsense, not the way my ads are set up...

  • I've added <br/> to the homepage ad, no luck.

    The homepage ad is the SAME code and the SAME widget for the side bar ad on my sub-pages. So any issue would/should be reflected in that ad also...but it isn't.

    Seriously confused by all this.
  • Did you get it fixed? I now see the ad on the home page.
