AdSense Troubleshooting: Javascript

This article explains the relationship between Adsense advertisement display and Javascript

Adsense ads need Javascript

You, and your readers, will only see ads if Javascript is enabled in the web-browser (Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome, Safari, Opera, etc) that you are using.

You can turn Javascript on for your own web-browser using whatever tools it uses (normally under Tools / Options or somesuch - refer to your system's help-files if you need to see how to turn it on.

But you can't control whether it's enabled for your users:  even if you explicitly tell them to turn Javascript on, some won't do so, for reasons best known to themselves..

So you should be aware that some readers will not see your AdSense ads.  If having people see ads is important to you, you might need consider some alternative advertising programmes.

(And this isn't the only reason:  some won't see your ads because they use ad-blockers:  there is nothing you can do about these either.)
