However, if you are using AdSense as an alternate ad in a Chitika ad, then you will need to make a quick change to your alternate ad setup.

Google changed the way AdSense is served and it now MUST be on a page with proper HTML coding.

HERE IS WHAT YOU NEED TO DO TO MAKE SURE YOUR ADSENSE ALTERNATE AD SERVES CORRECTLY:

  1. Open the .HTML file that contains your AdSense code with Notepad or any other text editor.
  2. Place <html><head></head><body> before your AdSense code and </body></html> after the code – for example: 

    <html><head></head><body>

<!--ADSENSE CODE GOES HERE -->

</body></html>

This will ensure that your AdSense alternate URL will display properly.  If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us directly, leave a comment below, or post in our forums.
