http requests being made for adserver #8

Open technotip opened 4 years ago

technotip commented 4 years ago

It's 2020 and still WordAds are making http connections to request ads from the server. Here are some of the URLs:

http://x.bidswitch.net/

http://bsw.digitru.st/

http://apac-jp-sync.bidswitch.net/

..and many more URLs. This is causing SEO problems on publishers sites.

Kindly fix this asap. Thank you ..

Thanks for the report. We'll get those to be removed, as we try to avoid HTTP requests for all ads.

If you do notice mixed content warnings from other domains, do not hesitate to post them here as well.

Thank you!

For now shall I go ahead and make the calls https://x.bidswitch.net/ instead of //x.bidswitch.net ?

Will that fix the issue for now, on my site?

Shall I make this change to all the URL requests? Will that fix my issue?

And can I use my publish ID when WordAds is showing ads from Adsense? I remember seeing that option in AdControl plugin long back. Do you support that even now? Basically whenever WordAds is showing Adsense ads, I want to directly show my adsense ads. Is that possible?

Please let me know any other things to optimize the ads for more earnings.

That will not fix your issue. This is something that will need to be fixed directly by the ad providers we work with.

Could you let me know your site URL or contact us here so we can look into those requests into more details?

That is not an option at the moment, no.

Oh ok ..then I'll have to wait until until the ad providers make the changes. How long it might take? Because it'll affect my sites SEO badly if not fixed soon.

Here is the URL of my blog and you can still see WordAds live in the sidebar: Technotip.com
