Hi all,

The 'site in question is WordPress-based. There is a robots.txt and it allowing all of the necessary bits and pieces.

I cannot get my website to show anything where I have placed the AdSense JS code. I've tried changing the 'hide' marks to CDATA comments. I've tried different locations and different pages.

If I insert the code where I want it and put a 1 in front of it and a 2 behind it (to show where the code sits), I can see the 1 and the 2 on the live 'site.

This is not the first ad' code I've had trouble showing - I tried Chitika a while ago and gave up.

Has anyone else experience the same problem?

Thanks,

Nic
 
How much time do you give it to "set in" - mine usually takes about 15 minutes before I see anything... It does leave a blank space where the ad should be though.
 
Hi Unihost,

Thanks for the reply.

The code's been there (tried two different pages) for much longer than 15 minutes.

Neither the ads nor the blank space shows up. :(

Any other ideas?

Thanks,

Nic
 
No idea from what you've told us. Have you tried posting on the Google help forums? They will probably be able to give you much more help...
 
OK, it's working...but not on my machine.

I loaded my 'site up on somebody else's machine and the AdSense loaded right up. =]

It seems to take a while to load in some blog posts, but it's showing.

Perhaps AdSense doesn't show on the IP that you log in to the control panel with...

Thanks everyone.
 
I also used wordpress to create my blog, f1maniac.net

You can get plugins that manage the Adsense for you, just go onto wordpress.org and search the plugins there, if you download one of the popular ones
you should be good to go. The theme you use is also quite important as they all offer differing levels of functionality.

I don't use a conventional theme, F1. I've also customized it a lot, but it's now grafting as I want it too. :)

Thanks for the reminder though.
