Was this site made on iWeb? It looks like it, so must be something in the upload to the ftp server. Go to the iWeb support forums

By hand, from a Filemake Pro text database, loaded into template, then uploaded by Dreamweaver.

I know PCs display this properly, why not Macs?

Can you see the google ads on any of the garden pages?

For example: gardens-guide.com/gardenpages/_0040.htm

I was just wondering why it displayed the iWeb ™ default 'Made On A Mac' symbol on the bottom which is found on most iWeb made sites, that was all. Obviously something has gone awry with your hyperlinks. I can't see any google ads using Explorer on a Windows 7 computer either. I would be looking at Dreamweaver and Filemaker support pages rather than Lion forums, I would suggest.

Good Luck

Runs fine on my Dell Windows XP machine, but not on my Macs.

That is why I asked here.

As I say, does not work on my windows 7 nor on my Mac and I am still interested to know why it carries the iWeb icon on the site?

I have no idea and it's not relevant now, thanks.

My code looks EXACTLY like what Google say it should, and it runs on Windows XP just fine, but not Mac.

Adding a registered ™ is very relevant. But alas, as I have said, try looking at Dreamweaver and Filemaker support pages rather than Lion forums, or even Google themselves. My site shows all Google Ads just fine. Made on a Mac, too.

Good Luck

I have been chasing this for days now, and even Google says that the ads appear on my pages. I have tried many many things to get my ads to appear.

Is anyone not seeing Google ads on these pages:

www.gardens-guide.com

www.armchair-travel.com

www.taj-mahal.net

Your help is appreciated, thanks.

Anyone?

Can someone post the URL of a page which does contain Google Ads so I can test a known-working page on my machines?

Thanks

Have you recently installed any anti-virus program? I had that problem with my anti-virus. for some reason it decided to block all ads. I finally deactivated it (since it's not needed for Mac anyways) and my ads came right back on :-)

Thanks but No, I haven't. I don't use antivirus programs, although when a warning is issued I then do check following the approved procedures. The last virus I had on a Mac was 1995...

Well, it must be something I have installed and removed (although clearly it did not remove completely)...

I have a volume with a public preview of Mountain Lion, and its Safari shows the Google ads just fine.

*** SOLUTION ***

At one time I tried out GlimmerBlocker. It does NOT install as an extension to Safari (it runs as a proxy server with filtering)

When I uninstalled it, it did NOT remove itself.

I noticed it today in my Activity Monitor....

So I re-installed it and then used System Preferences to switch it off.
