    What browser are you using? Have you always experienced this problem?

    As well as knowing which browser you are using are you also using any popup or advert blockers i.e AdMuncher?

    Please all stick to the actual question, which is missing Google ( sponsored ) AdSense adverts and not how to block these types of adverts... we do pride ourselfs with sticking to the topic over getting sidetracked, sometimes confuses the thread.


    What other suggestions did google offer, may save us going through the same ideas?


    could try as a longish shot to delete temp interent files and cookies, plus run a registry scan to clean rougue old entries out, one maybe corrupt!

    CCleaner
    Will clean temp files and cookies plus it will clean your regisrtry, do when cleaning the registry choose to save what its about to remove, you are given the choice in a popup message before the old registry files ( keys ) are removed.

    CleanUp!
    then as a 2nd backup cleaner run this one to get what CCleaner may have missed ( this one does not clean the regisrty tho )


    have you tried another browser to see if the adverts show, try either Firefox or Opera
