Hi,
I haven't been able to get any ads for content or search to show, until today when I realized a good friend had installed all kinds of ad-blocker/pop-up blocker programs on my computer. I was able to get an ad for search to show up on two of my web pages.
Yey! I haven't been successful with the actual ads yet. I have posted so many ad codes on my pages that haven't showed up that now I have no idea what is what in my ad manager page. How can we delete them so we can figure out what is what?
I also would like to know if there are any other programs that might be on my computer that may be blocking or preventing the ads from showing up. I read about the amount of content thing, and I'm pretty sure I'm OK with that because I have been trying to think of different words to use so I don't use the same ones all the time. I don't want to sound monotonous.
I think I have only had my AdSense account for maybe 3 weeks. Is it too young? Do they know I'm here? Do I just need to wait a little longer to be crawled?
I was also having issues with copying and pasting, but I am pretty sure I have that figured out. I think once the ads actually show up then I can strategically place them.
It doesn't seem like we can actually edit each ad in the manage ad page. It won't let you change the size/shape or type. What's with that?
I know these are probably a lot of questions, but I have spent hours trying to find the answers, and couldn't. I also started a blog just to see if it would be any different to work with than the web site. I understand that even less. I tried to paste as code but I couldn't figure out where to put it. Does it have to go into a particular block in the layout?
I tried to put a banner under my header but above the title. The ad didn't show first of all, but when I previewed it, the blank space was below the title of the post. I couldn't get the post to move down so I could paste it above it. Thanks in advance for your help,
N.Russo

Hello, thanks for your tips. I saw your post somewhere in google regarding centering google ads. That is just the help I needed. Now, I need help with getting the ad exactly where I want it. Right now the ad is centered at the footer of the page, but it is out of my page frame. I'd like it to be inside of the frame. I have tried to place the ad code in severage spot in my html source, but they keep showing up in weird spots after I publish the revised page. Please tell me you can help. I am at the end of my rope now.
Shelly » Shelly, thanks for asking. I feel very relief to know that some people have trust in me even though many are too skeptic about my free advice service. I would normally create a post for such help but in this case it might be quicker to write a comment.
I have the answer to your question. There are 2 spots in the footer that you can insert your 728x60 content unit. Let's assume that the
<div align="center">[Adsense code]</div>is where you place the code for your AdSense unit, the 2 spots are:1. Above the footer table, which is in between these 2 lines:
<td valign="top" height="100%"><div align="center">[Adsense code]</div>
<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%" align="center" border="0" class="footer_tb">
2. Below the footer table, which is in between these lines:
</table><div align="center">[Adsense code]</div>
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<map name="MapMapMapMap">
I think the 728x90 is not the best solution for your site. According to your layout I suggest the best ad units should be 468x60 for content and 200x200 for side bar.
Does this solve the problem? If you need more help please ask.
Thanks, I'll try that. It's really cool that you help people for free. I am so new to this stuff and have found it very hard to find the kind of help that you give. Very detailed.
Also, I will look into changing my ad type. I have to see what the one's you suggested look like and decide where I want to place them. If you don't mind, I'll send you the finished product.
Shelly » You are welcome. Feel free to continue the conversation. Both new question and result of old problems are welcome here. Thanks for visiting and best wishes for your online money.
Good Morning Binh!
I just created a 200 X 200 Ad, as you suggested, but of course I don't know where to put it in the HTML Source. It's frustrating, because I can't tell where to put things in the HTML Source. I have to try several places, hoping that I don't mess up the code to get it right. I want to put this new Ad on the right hand sidebar, under the join the newsletter. I know how to edit the colums, but evertime I put in the code, the actual code displays on the webpage.

Shelly » If you can edit the HTML for that "Join the Newsletter" box then here is where you need to place the code.
<table class="infoBoxleft" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="215">
<tbody><tr>
<td class="infoBoxHeadingleft" height="14">Join Our Newsletter:</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<form name="subscribe" action="/subscribe.html" method="get">
<div style="padding: 8px; float: left;">
Email Address:
</div>
<div style="padding: 0px 8px; float: left;">
<input name="email" style="width: 200px;" type="text">
</div>
<div style="float: right; padding-right: 6px;">
<span id="btnSearch"><input name="btnSearch:_ctl0" src="http://images.secure2u.com/templates/buttonsets/Grey/subscribe.gif" alt="" align="absmiddle" border="0" type="image"></span>
</div>
</form>
[AdSense Code]
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="infoBoxFooter"> </td>
</tr>
</tbody></table>
It's better if you can add another box to insert just the AdSense code.
How do i link my adsense account with youtube account
it says head for the AdSense Setup tab. Click the video units link and you'll be on your way to setting up your first video unit.
( There is no Video unit link table atall in my account)

I have a rather strange question.
I successfully added an adsense 728x60 ad to my home page. I then decided to add the very same 728x60 ad to another page on my website. I inserted the code into the 2nd page and the ad would not appear. So, I created a 2nd ad in Adsense and replaced the code that didn't work on this 2nd page with the code for the new ad. When I now view this page, there are now 2 ads displaying. I'd like to remove one of them as these ads are big ones.

@Rick in Florida:
I have checked your page http://catalpa.amberdell.com/catalac_history.htm and here is the result of my finding.
I found you have the following code:
<script type="text/javascript"
src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">
</td>
If you can see clearly, the script block has no end tag, which is . The correct code should look like this:
<script type="text/javascript"
src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"></script>
</td>
Good luck,
