Google AdSense ads showing “Address Not Found” or not visible

Posted on September 20, 2008 at 10:58 am

Anyone else see something super strange with Google AdSense today? Browsing several sites, including my own, Google Ad blocks are now showing Address Not Found!

In Internet Explorer the Google ads don’t even show up on the page, they simply have disappeared! Check out the screenshot below:

Wow! This is the first time I have ever seen anything like this before from Google and AdSense! I am guessing no one is getting paid for anything since there is nothing to display…

Anyone else seeing Address Not Found (can’t find the server at pagead2.googlesyndication.com) on their Google ads or suddenly seeing them no longer visible on your site?

    This seems to be a problem on your end with the ISP may be because this has happened couple times for me, check out a proxy[http://www.amitbhawani.com/proxy/] and iam sure you will see the ads up.
    Edit : I do see ads currently on your blog and they are perfectly loading fine.

    Yeah they are loading fine now…but they were definitely out for a few minutes. If it’s the ISP, why just the Google Ads? Everything else was loading fine…

    I still haven’t seen such problem. Maybe it was with the ISP

    It happens to me in IE only. It seems the news that Microsoft is trying to kill adsense is true. They often do this, blocking adsense. I wonder if you can see ads on my blog?

    My adsense ads haven’t showed up in Internet Explorer for a while now. It’s really getting to me! I keep forgetting to check from home, to rule out the posibility that it has something to do with my ISP.

    It’s so odd that the problem is only with Internet Explorer. I hope this is just a bug that Microsoft will fix in their next update. I know some people hate ads – but that is how I pay for my domain name, hosting space, and the time it takes to add content to my websites. (well, I have a few sites that sell products – but the majority are to make information free to the public)

    Its 100% your ISP problem, I too had same problems initially but after doing a lot of googling and research it was finally my ISP and not anything.

    The ads on my site do not showup on my friends office PC. Wonder why. All other sites display the google ads. Any idea what the reason might be?

    Also, i want to display ads on an html page deeply embedded in the site. It appears only after a lot of clicks. The ads don’t seem to show up here. Any clue why?

    I was also having this problem with my Google AdSense ads and got worried. Looks like it was just my local ISP though. Whew!
