    Hi guys,
    I have an issue due to that 3 days ago, my amp page in google cache have started to not showing up any adsense ads.
    Big issue for me because the main traffic come directly from AMP page.

    I dont really know exactly how AMP google cash works, but what I know is that:
    – all work fine with my non-amp page
    – all work fine with my amp page (when the browser URL bar says “www.mysite.com/page/?amp=1
    – I have ZERO adv in my amp page from google AMP cache (when the browser URL bar says “https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.mysite.com/page/%3famp=1”

    Nothing has changed and suddently all my visitors coming from google seach resuls (about 80% of my traffics) are accessing to page without any adsense ads.

    Using private browser session in chrome, in device mode, the problem is there and in the console I can read “[amp-auto-ads] No ad placements found for publisher ID ‘ca-pub-xxxxxxxxx’. Check that the provided publisher ID is correct.”

    I’ve opened also a thread in adsense support but I’m waiting for their replay.
    I’m here because maybe is something related to my AMP plugin in.

    You can test the issue clicking on this google search result using a mobile (or browser in mobile mode). Just clicking on a search result and you should see that no ads are showing up. Just clicking in another page, the session should switch su NON-AMP page and ads will show up.

    Additional info: I’m using amp auto ads, amp template mode is “Reader” (i’ve tried to change without any result), option “Redirect mobile visitors to AMP” is not enabled. I’m using Advanced ADS plugin to manage adsense ads.

    My questions, to close the picture, are:

    — > do you have idea about this issue? not having changed anythink my doubt is also that google decided to do it and stop. Even if I have no alert or any other feedback also in seach console that give me indications

    –> how the google cash works? My amp page will show properly the ads, just google cash amp page are affected. If I enable the option “Redirect mobile visitors to AMP” what happen?

    –> I woldn’t renounce to AMP, but waiting for the issue resolution, I could force visitors to go in non-amp page (ie. using htaccess) where ads show up, removing the redirect as soon as I have feedback about the issue. Do you see specific risk or do you suggest better approach about it?

    Thank you so much

    Hello @temaki100234

    Thank you for the support topic, When we checked your AMP cache, we fount there was notice in the Browser console.

    No ad placements found for publisher ID 'ca-pub-xxxx-xxx'. Check that the provided publisher ID is correct.

    (screenshot)

    We will recommend checking your google ads settings and make sure that you have enabled ads for AMP.

    Go to Ads > Overview > By site and check the bottom right corner of the header to see if AMP is turned on or off. Click on the button to change the setting.(screenshot)

    Additonally, please make sure you have auto ads enabled and turn off the Matched Content (screenshot) in some cases ads won’t show up if content is not related.

    Hope this helps!

    Thanks Milind.
    Sure I’ve already noticed the message (and I’ve reported it in google adsense support request) and I did the check you suggest.
    AMP is enabled and Matched Content disabled.
    I didn’t change anything on Adsense side before the issue.

    The curious thing is that AMP pages are showing up ads, it is only the cached amp pages that has this issue.
    What differences could exist between cached and not cached pages in term of AMP?

    Where do you suggest to investigate?

    Thanks!

    I’m having exactly the same problem presented. I noticed that this last week all Google Amp Cache pages stopped showing ads.

    I tried putting the code manually in the editor, using Site Kit, uninstalling and reinstalling the respective plugins, but it returns exactly the same error.

    I couldn’t solve the problem, but it seriously affects the site because those pages that Google chooses as cache are the ones that give me the most financial return and there was a sharp drop in my earnings this week.

    Some similarities with your case:
    
    AMP is enabled in Google Adsense.
    Matched Content is disabled.
    Ads appear on the AMP page, but disappear on the Google AMP Cache page.
    Problem started this week too

    I have exactly the same problem as you two. I think it could be a problem in Google AMP CDN, not in AMP Plugin.

    But i can show a sticky ad, not auto ads. Have you tried to put two fix banners. Maybe could help, at least, temporaly.

    The issue may be at Google’s End, as per this comment, There might be some issue with Auto Ads

    I will recommend contacting Adsense Support or Google Search support

    Also, Can you please try adding Unit Ads using plugin AdInserter check if that works for you

    I have solved the problem, at least temporally.

    I am using AdSense blocks despite auto ads, and it works

    I explain here how to do it: https://www.electrorincon.com/un-fallo-en-la-cdn-de-google-hace-que-no-salgan-anuncios-en-tus-paginas-de-amp/2022-02

    But one plugin to insert the ads in amp easily is ad inserter, in free version you can insert post in AMP.

    @carlosrey @warriorne @temaki100234

    The solution is perfect, blocks instead of automatic ads.

    But now the AMP plugin has an update, maybe it’s the solution. But I’ll have the blocks for a while.

    Thanks guys.
    Manual adsense blocks could be an option, I didn’t’ test yet because auto ads is (was) working well and I wouldn’t like to impact with a not optimized selection of kind/size ads..in addition I should spend time to cover all the pages.

    But considering that the problems is there since last tuesday..and google support reply is still pending.. I’ve just added a manual block in one page (without disabling the auto ads) ..and it seems to work.

    Probably I’ll do it at least for the most visited pages..

    Few questions in case you can help me..I’m not familiar with manual ADS, I’ve simply added a block (display ads,square) in one page, between two paragraphs.. do I have to do it manually in all the page (more ads per page), adding the same code in every place where I would like to have the ads? Is this the proper way?

    Pasting just amp code, the manual add will be showed just in AMP version (both cached and not cached). Does the NON AMP pages cotinuing to work with my automatic ads provided by adsense?

    In my test page, in cache I can see just the manual ads I’ve added, but in AMP (no cached) page I see both the manual one but also other provided by the auto ad.. do you see any negative aspect about it? Auto ads is already working fine in pure AMP page and I wouldn’t like to disable it.

    Anyway the support request with google adsense team is still open and I’ll let you know as soon as they reply!

    Thanks again

    @temaki100234

    You can do it with ad inserter, in all the pages with one click.
    I explain in my blog how to do it.

    You need to add the code in one window of ad inserter, select post and, in section various, amp

    You can select before the paragraph, and put 1,4 and 8. Center aligned. And that’s the magic.

    If you select responsive layout in AdSense, and this config, is like the auto ads, so so. Flush the cache, and wait for the Google crawl.

    Thanks @carlosrey
    Yes I have Advanced ADS (pro version) that should cover similar perimeter..I can add dispay adv and allow the plugin to show in my pages according with the configuration.

    My only doubt (at least in case auto ads will continue to not work in cache) is that today I have also different kind of ads, like vignete, widescreen, anchor ads..etc.
    i usually trust in google and I let google decide the best combination..doing all this work on my side for sure will be not the most efficient layout.

    But waiting for solving google cash issue, I have to do ??

    hi guys, I’ve added some manual adsense ads on my pages..but google seems to not refresh the cache. Is there a way to force it?
    I’ve also updated some contents page to be able to check if the new page is cashed.
    Thanks!

    @temaki100234, it’s really complicated, at least, it seems you can’t do it. You should wait. Little by little, we’ll see the ads.

    There is an add-on in AMP for WP plugin to refresh it. If not, you can watch the AMP docs to do it, but it is not easy.

    @milindmore22 and @carlosrey

    Thank you both for the great help. Especially for @carlosrey, his temporary workaround for solving the problem worked. Now I need to pay attention to when Google will solve this issue.

    @temaki100234

    Your site’s AMP cache will update once Googlebot recrawl your site, you can request recrawl you can learn about it using this doc

    Usually, it takes 2-3 weeks

    @carlosrey Thank you for guiding with post ??

    @warriorne Thank you so much! I sincerely appreciate your comment.

    The crawl is going fast in our site, 30% more AdSense impressions than yesterday last 5 hours. The crawl depends on your web, if you have a bigger site with a good crawl budget, your reindexed is faster than a small site with low traffic @temaki100234

    Today it was an update in AMP plugin too, I don’t know whether is related to the fix or not, do you know something @milindmore22 ?
