    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

    Thank you guys for all the support.
    I’ve added manual ads in my most visited pages, fortunately in about 1 hour the cache was updated. Temporary solution, just few display ads into the content page between paragraphs that should mitigate loss I’m having due to this issue.

    If google will not solve sooner, I should disable the “auto ads” (at least for amp) and provide a better organization of my ads.

    To see the positive side (in this issue we cannot lost the optimism) is that I was forced to work a bit with manual ads positioning..and I can see the benefits I could have at least in terms of cost reporting per page, per unit, etc..that with full auto ads you cannot have.

    l’ll let you know as soon as google reply to my support request.

    @carlosrey The issue is likely to be from Google side, so there is no update specific to ads in latest version

    @temaki100234 glad to kwow the workaround fixes your issue, I’ll mark this as resolved. Feel free to open a new support topic if you require any further assistance.

    @milindmore22 Finally google repliesto me, not sure this is the solution but they highlights that canonical link in the (google cashed) source page is wrong

    Should be something like this
    <link rel="canonical" href="https://www.example.com/url/to/full/document.html">

    In the google cashed source page is
    <link rel="canonical" href="https://www.example.com/url/to/full/document.html?amp=1">

    Source page of my amp page has the correct canonical link
    <link rel="canonical" href="https://www.example.com/url/to/full/document.html">

    So in my amp page the canonical link is correct, but in the copy cashed by google is different and it reprensents my amp page url.

    I do not see why google should do it, probably some other elements in my amp page is getting google in error while cashing page.
    Really it could be something related to wordpress AMP plugin.

    Any ideas? Could be something related to AMP or wordpress cache in your opinion?

    Thanks again!

    I have exactly the same problem, recently no ads is shown on Google AMP cache.

    – I’m using Google Auto Adsense
    – with WP Fastest cache
    – Mobile redirection is Disabled (Serve non-AMP page for mobile)

    We have to wait more for the Google solution…
