How to Solve Adsense Ads Showing Blank Yellow Block – by Adding the Site to the Verified List

After adding the adsense code to your new domain, it usually takes a few minutes to hours before adsense advs start showing on your site. However, if this takes longer, it usually means something is not right.

The first thing to check: if you have enabled the verified list – which means that only verified sites can be allowed to show ads. Navigate to your adsense dashboard – my sites – overview and toggle the dropdown menu.

Only allow verified sites to use my ad code

Site authorization is an optional feature that lets you identify your verified sites as the only sites that are permitted to use your Google ad code. Note that if you place your ad code in a site that’s not one of your verified sites, ads will still show but you won’t generate any earnings from them.
