Ad serving issue resolved

Tuesday, September 01, 2009 | 11:04:00 AM

An ad serving issue yesterday, August 31st, from 4:30pm PDT to September 1st, 2am PDT caused less relevant ads or public service announcements (PSAs) to appear on some publisher pages. This was mostly limited to regions of Asia. Our engineers have now resolved the issue, and ad targeting has returned to normal. We apologize for the inconvenience, and are working to make sure that this doesn't happen again.

Did the https://www.google.com/adsense/login.do get disabled as part of the fix? I am no longer able to login using this.

Thanks.

I personally thankful to AdSense team Engineers for resolving the issue of less relevant ads on some publishers pages. Wel-done by Adsense Team.

I find that relevant ad targets are getting suddenly changed and irrelevant ads start appearing on the site. Please try to resolve this problem.

AdSense in my blog doesn't appear anymore. The blog is Vino24.tv, Italy. What happened?

Kelvin Jones said...

Is this issue still ironing out, we can see nothing but PSA on our site and its been like this for 2 days now? When will the pages get refreshed, after a recrawl?

Admin said...

Sorry to say this, but adsense seems to have a lot of problems (earning not updated quickly, earning fluctuating every day ...)

My site www.appliances.co.uk is still showing public service ads on every page. Since the 31st august.

I emailed several times but all i get is the same automated responce..Please provide URL i do provide it then they send me the same message to provide URL again..

Its like banging your head against a wall.

Please help!

I am having the same issue with the public service ads being displayed 100% of the time. Is it something I am doing? Or is it capturing the keyword favors as charity?

A further 5 days down the line and we are still seeing PSAs where there should be Link Ad Units, if this is going to be a permanent change or Google now require us to jump through a particular hoop then can you please let us know what has changed or what we need to do, here.

After watching Hal Varians You Tube video on Ad Rank, he states how important keeping, advertisers, users and Google happy is - This 'blip' seems a real conundrum?

Cheers K.

I am still having problems with irrelevant ads on my site planet-jobs.blogspot.com/ Previously relevant ads were being displayed but since last 10 days ads not pertaining to the site content are being displayed. Please rectify this problem.

Thanks

Despite dropping details of the issue here and reporting the problem we have had no word back from Google and no change to the Ads being shown. We have no choice other than to remove all ad units due to the lack of response. I can't believe Google aren't interested in assessing and addressing the problem! If they treat all customers in this manner then there won't be a Google in 2 years time!

I am having the same problem..only that it seems to be affecting my newly created sites and not any of my sites that have been up for awhile.I hope they get this fixed or at least tell us that they are aware of this problem.

Google Ad Sense Message Boards Fraud
Google Ad Sense is when a web site owner opens an account with Google to place advertisement on their web site. When a person clicks this advertisement, the web site owner gets an average commission of .45 cents. A web site that gets a lot of traffic, they can easily make $150,000 per month.
There are message boards claiming to be informing the public about scams being done by companies or individuals. These web sites have individuals working for them for the sole purpose of targeting companies or individuals in order to generate traffic to the web site. This method is artificially generating traffic to the web site, this is FRAUD as outlined by Google. The higher the traffic, the higher the percentage of individuals that will click onto the Google advertisements.
Additionally, Individuals post copy right information about a company on these types of web sites; this is against the policy of the Google Ad Sense program.
If you believe that you are being targeted by individuals on a particular web site; simply click the Ads by Google in the bottom right hand corner of the advertisement on the web site. You will be taken to a Google page, click onto: Report a policy violation regarding the site or ads you just saw.
File a report and the Google Fraud Department will investigate.

I am having such a hard time placing AdSense ads on my blogs, and now I am finding out from others that PSAs are steadily being placed on their sites as well. Is all of this legitimate or is it ONE BIG Scam? Please Respond.

Health Fanatic said...

This issue does not seem to be resolved, I have been having irrelevant ads the past couple of days, and have been noticing irrelevant ads and PSAs on other sites, especially on sites with image ads.
