    Hey ohmer, I see the PSA ads. Google does that when they cannot 'find' relevant ads based upon the keywords/test that appears on the page.

    thanks kentuckyslone, but this page hasn't changed in 7 months and I have 2 of the ad blocks actually missing! Has this ever happened to anyone else? could it be just a glitch, because it's hard to believe all of a sudden, google can't find ads for me.

    Just a warning, when you resize your browser window (make narrower) , your table layout obscures googles ads, behind your main center column. You should set the element with adsense to a fixed width and resize your main content area.

    Hey buddy, I just checked your site again and now Google is actually displaying ads instead of the PSA

    Thanks, I do know this, when I designed the site I decided that my main content was more important to view when narrowed, thanks though.

    Correct me if I am wrong but do you have 5 ad units on that page? I see one at the bottom, one on right hand side, one near the top, one upper left and one lower left (none of which are PSA). Also, I think the one on the upper left may be against Google's TOS as you have it under a heading "Categories"

    No, I have
    -one link unit in upper left corner
    -one referal unit in lower left corner
    -one search pane near top
    -one ad unit near top
    -one ad unit on right side
    -one ad unit near bottom

    As for the links unit being under categories, I have had it like that for months now, and I modeled it after dealofday.com, which is a well known site. I figured google would let me know if it was a no no.
    Thanks for the responses.

    It was my understanding that we were allowed to use only 3 google ad elements per page, which includes link units. Someone correct me if I am wrong, sorry I am too lazy to go check with the terms

    From Google:

    Can I place more than one link unit on a page?

    Yes, you may place up to three link units on a page, in addition to the three standard ad units and two search boxes you're permitted to display. Just make sure the page complies with our program policies
