Why has Adsense disappeared from my sites??

[realnames]

Just noticed all the adsense ads are gone from my websites?

They have been up for a month and been working well until today.

Anyone know what could have happened.

Welcome to the forums realnames! :hi:

It's very possible Google does not like those links on the right hand side of the page. That is if the site in question is in your signature?

I know that over time, Google will be weeding out, and is weeding out sites that it does not want in the program. I would have to say they will eventually be very strict about what sites they keep.

I really don't know about your situation, but am simply giving you something to think about.

Hi realnames,

There appears to be a problem on Google's end. I, and many others, have been experiencing the same problems today.

Ihelpyou, there was/is absolutely nothing wrong with my page. The problem turned-out to be Google was down for a while. The first time I have ever seen Google down.

I did this post only to see if others had Google adsense display problems, not because I was wodering if I was abiding by the adsense terms (which I am fully confident I am in fact abiding by).

I am sure there was nothing unusual or a violation of the adsense terms in that website in my sig, and also fairly certain Google does in fact allow other links on a page, not just adsense.

But rather than draw attention to that site and its adsense, I have removed that signature since you pointed it out to everyone, perhaps even a guy from Google who may visit here :eek: and think I have violated their TOS after reading what you said.

realnames, you can have links to other sites as well as ads and banners for other sites on the same page on which you have the AdSense ads. You can even have affiliate links. Google will not penalize you or terminate your account because of that.

For anyone else who may be confused, https://www.google.com/adsense/policies says:
Competitive Ads
We do not permit AdWords ads to be published on web pages that also contain what could be considered competing ads. This would include all content-targeted ads as well as text-based ads. Text-based ads, for this situation, can be loosely defined as ads that mimic AdWords ads or appear to be associated with AdWords ads on your site. We do allow affiliate or limited-text links.

This happened to me as well. I emailed Google Ad Sense support. They responded that they did an upgrade last night and there was a problem which is why the ads were down. They have solved the problem now. It was definitely on their end. I have seen this a few time before but never for such long periods of time. I think they are growing very rapidly. Remember anyone who has been accepted can ad pages on their other sites. I sure have been doing this on any page that I think will be acceptable to Google. So far so good.
