[LINK] Telstra Blocking Google Ads

[Tom Worthington]

In a J&B HiFi store yesterday I tried looking at my web site using an 
Apple iPad 2 on display. The web page looked fine, automatically 
adjusting to fit on the small screen. The Amazon.com advertisements were 
displayed. But the Google AdWords advertisements were replaced by an 
error message:
