Hi,

I have Windows XP Automatic Updates switched on and received some updates
last night. Since then, Google Adsense ads aren't appearing on any website I
visit using Internet Explorer 6. Just want to check with anyone else who is
fully up to date with Windows updates if they are still seeing Adsense ads?
I been into Security Settings and I have Scripting turned turned on.

Hopefully it's just a blip on my PC - it would be a mighty blow if MS caused
Adsense ads not to appear by default.

Cheers
Rob

yeap, I'm current on the updates and the ads are showing up. Undoubtedly,
your JavaScript settings are messed up. Double-check them.

Sincerely,

There's some people who say Google adsense spam should be treated in
exactly the same way as pop-up / pop-under windows. Maybe Google
toolbar 3.x will have a "Block Adsense" button along with block pop-up
option.

MSN and Yahoo already seem to demote sites that have adsense or only
list the home page. It would be ironic if the web owners showing
adsense or overture/yahoo ads become the next battle ground in the SE's
war with each SE trying to kill off their opponants web owners adverts.

Most probably just a JavaScript issues... check some sites with JavaScript
content to see if that is indeed the source of the problem. Unless some
ratware was installed on your machine, there is no reason why AdSense
should be targetted specifically.

Have you checked AdSense on different domains? Moreover, do you even mind
the fact that it's not showing up? There is a pure-CSS ad block for Firefox
that stops them from appearing and it only makes browsing richer.

You can generalise it to all adverts. Google Adverts are just so common that
it's easy and safe (from content's point-of-view) to block them.

What example will this set for competing toolbars?

Good point. I think that while Google shines, one would rather stick to
AdSense.

Perhaps one day the delivery of search results will have have laws applied
which are similar to newspapers. Results will need to be unbiased from an
algorithmic point-of-view. Wouldn't that mean opening all the source
though?
