Here's something strange. Maybe some of you have seen this problem too. For some reason, my Adsense 728×15 link unit on my dad blog is not working correctly. As you can see in the screen shot below, it's showing part of an Amazon ad where the link unit is normally shown.
The Adsense link unit works fine when there are relevant ads, but when there are no relevant ads, Google shows an alternate ad I created for a different blog. I'm not sure why. I didn't set it up to do that. To make matters worst, the alternate ad it shows is a 300×250 ad so only part of the ad shows up. Here's the odd part. It displays the alternate ad even though I selected the option to fill the space with a solid color. The same thing happens when I select the option for public service ads.
I emailed Google about the problem last week, but so far they have not been able to duplicate the problem. Has anyone else had this problem or am I just going nuts? In the meantime, I removed the Adsense link unit on Daddy Forever.

I have looked on Adsense help and see nothing relative to this problem.
