Hi Jen

Thank you for your response.

I believe that it is a problem of google and/or ning.

Attach report of errors of adsense. This report I sent yesterday to ning.

I have hopes that this problem has solution in ning 3.0, the service to the members doesn't have cost for them, therefore the ads are important.

Best,

Claudio

Hi Claudio,

It would be my guess, that these robot errors have a lot to do with why I've heard so many Ning NCs say that their Adsense earnings went down significantly over a year ago. Mine did as well, down 66%. I never have time to do my homework on things like this. I really need to improve in these matters.

Thank you for the information.

Best,

Jen

Hi Jen,

This one is the response of ning:

"I'm sorry that you're running into this with Google AdSense. The majority of the time ads aren't displaying is due to an error on Google's end. However, there's a few things you can try out to make sure that you have everything set up properly:
   •   Only insert the Google AdSense code into one place or text box on your network
   •   Make sure that at least the Main Page or the page that you have added the ad code to is public
   •   Try removing the code completely and adding fresh code; it can take up to 24-48 hours before ads start to appear
   •   Try removing any other embeds, widgets, or custom code that you have added that could be conflicting with the ad code
You can check out this Help Center article here: http://www.ning.com/help/?p=3320. You might also want to check out Google's Ad Sense help page here: http://www.google.com/support/adsense/."

Best,

Claudio
