Normally, i would be fine if no ads are shown in my site, specially since I am still stuck with a free webhost.
But in this case, the ads that I have up here are mine (from Google of course), and any proceeds from anyone clicking it – no matter how small the figure is, gets credited to my account. Can you blame a guy for trying to find means to support a paid webhost sometime in the future and his own domain to boot?
Anyway, back to topic, ads had been working fine for the few years that I had been using freehostia.com then it disappeared for some reason that is freehostia’s fault. Then it returned. I was happy for at that time, geocities went boom and down the drain.
Now, all I see is white space.
There could be three reasons:
1. Freehostia blocked it (again)
2. Google blocked me (wut?!)
3. Or I messed up.
Freehostia blocking google ads again is still possible. But I have not encountered any search results about it recently – except for this post where even in the “sand box” the ads were not showing. I tried mine on that sandbox, and nothing as well. The people of that thread said that it could be google.
Google could have blocked me without warning. I have no idea why, too. I have a privacy policy set-up – which is a prerequisite. I wrote google to check if my site is still in compliance. Hopefully something will be resolved positively.
If I messed up, I don’t know what it could be. The only major thing I have done was link this site’s RSS feeds to a facebook page – and adding a fan badge to the sidebar… Other than that, I don’t know…
Well, I did what I can, and asked Google. Hopefully, things will work ok. I still want that webhost and domain that will be the fruit of my internet labors.
See you around.
