Why am I getting Google Adsense Public Service Ads?I signed up for Google AdSense and included AdSense on my new Web page, with the tweaks you recommend [see Getting started with Google AdSense]. Problem is, all I'm seeing is PSA's (Public Service Ads) from AdSense, I'm not seeing real advertisements, so regardless of what I do, there's no way to make a nickel off the program. Dave, please, why the heck am I trapped with AdSense PSAs? I have my own ideas about the most common reasons that some sites get PSA adverts when they're part of the AdSense program, but let's start with what Google itself says in the AdSense help area (here's the link -- Why am I getting PSA ads? -- but you need to be logged in to your AdSense account before you can see the page):
Two important notes to also be aware of:
The most common causes of PSA ads in my own experience are pages that haven't yet been indexed (though loading the page a few times seems to quickly teach the AdSense system that the page exists and gives it time to spider and analyze that page for content) or pages that have content that's marked as being questionable or inappropriate. There are plenty of topics that you should avoid, but honestly, most of them are unlikely to be a topic of your page, site or weblog anyway. One more thought: log in to your Google AdSense area, then click on Reports --> Site Diagnostics and make sure that there aren't any problems with your site. Here's what you should see: ![]() If you still can't figure out what's going on, don't forget that you can always email the AdSense support team and ask for advice. I have emailed them a number of times and found that they're quite responsive, though it can take a few days... Good luck figuring this out!

Also I believe if your ads aren't getting clicked on Google makes no money and the advertisers would be paying more for each ad because of the low click thru rate, so google disables ads on the site to prevent low click through rates.
I had a site with decent traffic at one point but no one was clicking on the ads, and was eventually getting Public Service Ads all the time.
This is just my opinion.
