This includes the most frequently asked questions I've seen on Adsense forums. Just today in the forum Indonesia Adsense Publisher Discussion, there are 3 people who ask similar problems.
Sometimes I just skip this question because it's quite difficult and time consuming to find the cause. And for each blogger the cause can be completely different.
However today, I decided to write about the most common reasons why Adsense ads do not appear on a blog.
Before looking for the reason why your Adsense ads are not appearing on your blog, we suggest you login to your Adsense account, and make sure there are no warnings or any note from Google regarding ad serving in your account.
When Adsense ads do not appear on blogs, not a few bloggers do not have any clue how to solve them. Until now, there is no tool available to handle it. I usually manually check the blog and then try some options to find what's wrong.
But from my experience, here are the 10 most common reasons why Adsense ads do not appear on your blog:
1. Hosted account issues
This is the first reason why Adsense ads do not appear on blogs. If you have a hosted account and you try to install it on a blog that is not an Adsense host partner, then Adsense ads will not show.
This happens if you upgrade your blogspot.com blog to a custom domain. Once you move to a custom domain, your blog is no longer part of the Adsense hosted platform, so your Adsense ads will stop serving.
How to upgrade from a hosted account to a regular account, you can read on: How to Sign Up for Google Adsense.
2. New ad units
Have you just created a new ad unit? In most cases, ads will start showing 15 minutes after the ad unit is created. But sometimes, it can take up to 1 hour before the ads appear. For that, if you just created a new ad unit, there's no need to panic. Try refreshing the page every 5 minutes, and if after 1 hour the ad does not show too, then you try to find what the cause.
Having experienced this often when someone asks and asks for help, I just say try to wait for 1 hour, and usually the problem will solve by itself.

3. Ad script is not installed yet
This may sound strange. But I really find a lot of people complain why his ads do not appear, but he actually has not put Adsense script on his blog.
Many people use widgets on CMS that are used to install Adsense ads, and this enables Adsense widgets not working properly. The best way to find out is to check the page's source code.
Right-click on the page, then click "View page source". Now try looking for Adsense script in source code. Do you find the ad code script installed correctly? If not, try checking your widget or blog settings. Also make sure you are using the correct PUB-ID and the script is installed with the correct syntax.
4. Asynchronous script
Do you use asynchronous ad code? This is the most recent Adsense script and is a more efficient way to serve ads, and it is generally very useful to load ads without much affecting page loading times.
It is also known, however, that this asynchronous code has compatibility issues with many other scripts. Some other scripts, may be blocking your Adsense asynchronous code to show ads.
For that, try using regular Adsense ad code, and see if it works. If so, then you are looking for a script which is roughly problematic with Adsense asynchronous script.

5. Too many widgets and scripts
Are you using too many widgets and scripts on the blog? Some of them may be blocking your ads. As a first step, try to note all the widgets or scripts you use on the blog. Then throw it all out first. Check, whether Adsense ads can appear after giving him more load time.
If it turns out the ads can show, then you can add widgets and scripts were one by one, to find which problem with your Adsense ads.

6. Closed other elements
In some cases, I find bloggers who put Adsense ads but are covered by other elements on the page, due to the arrangement of DIV or other container tags. Try to move your Adsense ads to another location and see if the ads can appear or not.
7. Review of the second phase
Google implemented 2 stages of review in the Adsense approval process. When you register, you will get a quick answer, first stage approval. At this stage, you can make un
