meowwwwwGoogle ads redirect my site to another site
1 Recommended AnswerThere has been an ongoing ad issue since late Nov/early Dec. Many websites that run google ads are experiencing redirect ads, mine included:
https://www.google.com/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=redirect+ads+lemode-mgz.com
My site has no malware. I spent hours testing the site, trying to find the source of the redirect ads.
When I had no ads on my site, I didn't see any redirect ads. When I ran ad networks other than Google, no redirect ads. When I ran Google ads alone, just after a few refreshes, I was redirected to lemode-mgz.com.
I saw other bad urls last month, but eventually they disappeared. I thought they were blocked until lemode-mgz.com came back yesterday.
It looks like the redirect ads were generated by a script from bad ads.
The attached image is just one of the many fake ads that site generates.
Has anyone experienced similar issues?

DenisWhere have you been redirected? Do you remember the site URL?
It may be a different malwertising campaign that Google hasn't taken care of yet. Or maybe your site has ads from some other networks too?
BTW, I wrote post about this issue that summarizes this thread (plus some additional details)

arentzenDid you try clear your browsers history / cache? You may have gotten some unwanted scumware targeting Adsense ads.
It would also help if you shared a link to your site. Use the url shortner http://goo.gl if you don't want your site to be indexed through this forum.
I'm located in Denmark, so I will probably see some other ads than you, but I hope other participants on this forum will respond to this thread.

meowwwwwI cleared the browsers history/cache. Tested it again on safari. Still saw the redirect ads. I just kept refreshing the page, and then it happened.

arentzenIt would be interesting to see if the issue is addressed to something local or if it appears to other visitors. I haven't heard of Adsense ads should cause a redirect (unless you click the ads)

meowwwwwI did a simply search on one of the redirect ad url. It showed a lot of sites that are also experiencing this. Quite recent too.

gddsmithIf it is an ad that is redirecting visitors to a different site it's most likely from the Ad Network & not an Adwords ads.
You could try disabling all Ad Network ads to see if that resolves the issue. It's a tab under Allow & Block ads. If it does resolve it you could leave it turned off for all or turn some of them back on at a time to see if you can narrow it down to where they're coming from. However since there are currently 1639 of them that could take some time.
