Google Ads
March 27th, 2008 - Chris MarshallWe run the Google Ads for two reasons. First by putting up good relevant content we hope to bring you great offers that you can benefit from, and second we hope that by doing that you earn us money as every Ad you take a look at we get a payment for.
So it is important that everyone can see the Ads, which doesn’t appear to be the case! I have just spent the morning getting totally confused!!!
Here in our apartment using either a Mac or a Windows PC we see the adverts whether we are using Firefox, Internet Explorer, Safari, Camino or Opera as a browser.
At a friends Villa I can see the ads on their Windows Vista Notebook.
In the Mediterra offices I can see the Ads on my Mac running OS X and Windows XP using their router BUT they don’t see them on their Windows PC using Firefox or Internet Explorer. They do however see them on the Notebook that they have. In the office next door they don’t see the Ads on Notebooks or Desktops running Windows XP or Vista.
I know that John doesn’t see the Ads on his Windows PC’s using either Internet Explorer or Firefox.
Two of our neighbours see the Ads on their Windows Desktops and Notebooks, Internet Explorer and Firefox, Vista and XP.
Confusing to say the least ………..
Am trying to figure out what it could be. I don’t see how it can be anything to do with the ISP (Telefonica) as it works on some and not on others and there is no way Google would accept a mass ‘blocking’ of their Ads.
It is hard to see how it can be an Operating System issue as it works on both OS X and Windows (Vista and XP).
It can’t be a router issue as the same router has worked for me and Roberto, while not working on Emma’s computer.
At the moment I am thinking that it must be the Anti Virus software. The Mac we can exclude from this as it doesn’t use any third party AV software. The Windows machines that I have all run the free Avast software, as do the two neighbours and the friend in the marina that I looked at yesterday.
I don’t think Roberto’s Notebook uses any AV software, but I need to check that out. What I would really like to know from you guys though is:
a) Do you see the Google Ads displayed
b) What OS are you using
c) What Anti Virus software if any do you use.

Thanks, this will be a great help!
