I've had that happen to me once as well. Can't remember if it was my laptop (Chrome) or my phone (Android) though.

I just installed AdBlock Plus and the redirects stopped completely.

I'm blocking the ads as I find them, unfortunately the issue is on Google's end and they haven't done crap to fix it yet. Another day or two and I should have them weeded out. And hopefully Google will get off its ass and fix the hole in their code. |

Do you have another browser you don't use normally? If so, you can empty out all cookies on that browser and see if the frequency stays the same. It shouldn't unless the ads are targeting certain IP based on geography. (which would be very odd indeed) |

But at least the ads are still showing down at the bottom of the page. They really are not obtrusive enough to warrant ABP.

I turned it back off. The "disable ad blocker" message is about the same size and the same delay as the "FireFox prevented this page from automatically redirecting to another page" message.

Not seeing the redirect in IE, ads displaying as normal, no ad blocker.

Cool that makes sense. It looks like it is keying off cookies in your one browser. Just like if you search on "Goat Pr0n" you should get ads for animal husbandry sites... these ads have been keyed to something you searched on or went to. That explains why some people are getting killed by these lately and others have no clue what you guys are talking about.
I actually was able to replicate the problem myself by previewing the ads in our Adsense control panel(which is on Google's site). That's how I knew it was completely unrelated to CP itself. The bitch is that when I find a bad ad using that method, I have to click the block button SUPER FAST or the damn thing redirects me out of Adsense before I can. Slowly but surely I am getting them all, obviously the one that is killing you hasn't been found yet. |

I have to go through some 70k ads to "review" each one. I am about 2% through them now. |
