Title doesn't show up...

    On my site, the titles of the advertisers doesn't show up. It is not all of them but some does not have any title, and if I refresh the page, then some other titles are not showing up.
    Is it just on my site?

    Same thing happening with me. But only for new pages I created today. Old ones are fine

    I just emailed Google. Let's see what they say whenever they get back. AdSense people are pretty good getting back. Guess it is because it's about $$$ and not just search...

    Another thread just said that they saw a blank ad and an ad with a "?" as a title. So its not you.

    Google was hacked! :)

    Yeah, here's my homepage (it's old, so this isn't just happening to new pages) -

    Let me know if I should link to the pic instead of displaying it in this thread...

    It's not only the problem with the titles. The REAL problem is that people don't click on the ads. CTR is way down :(

    I THINK this is happening because of the images Google adds to the text_image ads. Instead of displaying the title they want to sohow an image, but the problem is that the ads are dynamically generated but the image is only at the beginning of a leaderboard for example.
    Anybody else think that Google is all f****d up right now?
    I don't know where they got their programmers from but thay have be interns right out of college or with a brand new GDE :(:eek:

    Seeing this issue on all sites, all ad sizes, all positions. Also missing descriptions, or partial descriptions.

    Started around noon. CTR isn't down much, but would explain the slight drop.

    I was checking if the titles were actually the same colour as the background but yeah, seems the titles just dont exist at all.
