Blogger Public Service Ads Fix

If you are using Blogger and run Adsense then you may have awoken this morning to find all your Ads are showing Public Service Ads (PSA's).

First off don't panic!

Second stop sending me emails! Lol.

There is an easy fix.

Why this happened is unclear but appears to be connected to several recent and ongoing changes within Adsense and Blogger.

If you are showing PSA ads then you are using the Channels feature available when setting up your ads in Google Adsense. This method requires you to set up your ads in Adsense and then transfer the code supplied over to a html/javascript Gadget in Blogger.

Simply remove all those html/javascript Gadgets (just the ones using your Adsense code) and replace them with the "Adsense" Gadgets provided in Blogger. This means opening an "Adsense" Gadget, selecting the ad format you want and then place it in the appropriate location. These ads don't require you to use Adsense setup.

The PSA ads will be gone but you will not be able to track your ad blocks as you did using the code supplied by Adsense setup.
