I cannot get a Google AdSense ad to show up in a WordPress blog I'm working on. The ads have been approved and I entered the code (and double-checked the code to make sure I had it right). The code is as follows:
<div id="ads_sidebar">
<script type="text/javascript"><!--
google_ad_client = "ca-pub-7308560787788569";
/* Makeup */
google_ad_slot = "0956930336";
google_ad_width = 120;
google_ad_height = 600;
//-->
</script>
<script type="text/javascript"
src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">
</script>
</div>
The comments (i.e. <!--) were part of the code that Google provided. I tried without those as well and it didn't work. The CSS for the div is as follows:
#ads_sidebar{
position:absolute; top:0; left:-190px; background:transparent; font:normal 12px/14px
"Trebuchet MS","Lucida Grande","Lucida Sans Unicode",Arial; padding:20px 20px 30px 5px;
display:inline; float:left; _margin:0 auto; height:600px; width:120px;
}
I know the div shows correctly because I tested the code with a border:1px solid black; and it displayed on the screen.
I also know that sometimes Google Ads don't show up to the owner of the account if you're signed in so I tried from a different browser. Still no luck. Anybody have any ideas why it hasn't shown up? Thanks.
