 * Hi, I have a site and wrote an article. Once published the google ads on that
   page were not working correctly. I went in and changed the friendly link and 
   they worked fine. Why is it that it needed to be changed?
 * The only thing I can think of that i did differently on this story is that i 
   saved it as a draft and previewed it before I published it.
 * When I set it back to draft the ads show up fine, as soon as i publish it the
   ads go back to public service ads.
 * The link I would like it to post as is this…
 * [http://www.ripten.com/2007/07/22/e3-07-ubisofts-assassins-creed-hands-on-preview/](http://www.ripten.com/2007/07/22/e3-07-ubisofts-assassins-creed-hands-on-preview/)
 * but that doesnt work, when I change any part of the link like drop off the S 
   in ubisoft, or anything … the ads work again. The problem is I have other sites
   pointing to the link the way it is above.
 * Any suggestions? Please. Help would be greatly appreciated.
