DFP "Serve ads in a non-JavaScript environment" - adsense

I read the guide at: http://support.google.com/dfp_premium/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=1638620
but i can't implement it.
I tried with this src for an image, but I see blank page: http://pubads.g.doubleclick.net/gampad/ad?iu=/4767628/TomsBlog_Home_ATF_300x250&sz=300x250&c=1803379939
Do you know how to do that?

The blank page seems to be an incompatibility between DFP and Outlook combined with a non-IE default browser.
Having implemented an email campaign and received an email carrying an ad into Outlook, the click-throughs work when I set my default browser to IE but not if I have it set to Chrome.
This post suggests it has something to do with cookies: Google DFP ads in email behaving strangely
Update: the issue I saw yesterday (ad link in email goes to blank page when using Outlook + non-IE) has gone away. Not sure if it was a temporary outage or if it's an intermittent problem)

Facebook Plugin not showing on my desktop or mobile, but appears fine on another desktop

I've been using the Facebook Plugin for years, on dozens of websites, but all of a sudden, I can only see the page's facebook header, the actual feed appears only as a spinning icon. This is on my desktop and mobile device, feed is at the bottom of the page. https://saltydogfestival.com

However, my co-worker in the desk across from me tried it on his desktop and laptop and the feed loads just fine.
I'm not a page admin for this particular feed.
I have this plugin for other facebook pages, for which I AM an Admin, and those don't show up for me, either. I've tried using Chrome and Edge.
I'm knocking my head against the wall with this.... or maybe it's something so simple that I'm not seeing it... Suggestions??? Please save what's left of my sanity!
I think this issue has affected many sites including mine. I used a third party plugin recently that's said to no affect page speed. It's called "Buttonizer - Smart Floating Action Button" you can add a FB messenger button also and add call to action and any they button as well. I have disabled the Facebook chat one for now. If you can update me if it's now work for you that would be great as I'm in the same boat. Email mtgusto#outlook.com
Edited - bug seems resolved
This is what worked for me:
Go to Facebook Developers - Page Plugin and configure the 'widget' with desired params.
As you change the parameters the preview should update & show. If it doesn't, try signing out.
Click "Get Code" beneath the preview. I used the JavaScript SDK method.
Copy & paste the first piece of code after the < body > tag.
Copy & paste the second piece of code where the box should appear.
Previous answer - leaving here for posterity / reference
It seems to be an issue with Facebook that occurs when the visitor is signed in to Facebook. Try viewing the page in a private window or reload after you have signed out of Facebook to see if it loads when you are not signed in.
There's more information on a Facebook Developers bug report, which was just marked as closed 8/26, although it still appears to be happening: https://developers.facebook.com/support/bugs/584988619248795/
This other community thread has a work-around - look for Dave's comment: https://developers.facebook.com/community/threads/1018223139108570/

Google DFP ads Image not loading

The issue I am running into is rather simple, the creative URL's are not clicking through within certain email clients (most often Gmail). More specifically, in GMail the creative can sometimes click to a blank page where the redirect URL will just sit idly and for some users, it will redirect to the appropriate URL.
I identified that the creative will not click through if the 'img src' and 'href' URL's are not identical (think /ad & /jump & /adx), furthermore I've identified that Google also prepends their content server location to some URI's (Google Content Server URI's look something like this "https://ci3.googleusercontent.com/proxy/....#") thus this makes the img src completely different...yay! We've looked at adding and removing co=1 / 0 --> this hasn't done anything for us.
We also tried hosting the Ads on our server and clicking the email to go to our domain. But on our domain DFP Ad images are not loading and add the style attribute (style="display:none;") on the image and due to that link also not working and we came across the same issue that if the 'img src' and 'href' URL's are not identical Ads will not work.
Can someone help me here and let me know why display:none is being added on the Ads?

Facebook showing page not found when sharing link

I'm sharing content from a website and every time I paste the link into Facebook it says 'page not found'.
Sometimes it works when I manually add the 'www.' in front of the URL in the address bar.
EXAMPLE
Shows page not found:
http://roundreviews.co.uk/reviews/speakers/native-union-monocle-speaker/
Works when you manually place www. in front:
www.roundreviews.co.uk/reviews/speakers/native-union-monocle-speaker/
I honestly have no I idea why it's doing this, any thoughts on how it can be fixed on the web side?
Also...
I have tried with the link below with both the www. and without yet it doesn't work with either of them, this is all very strange. This is the only link I have tried and it doesn't work with both:
www.roundreviews.co.uk/microphones/spark-digital-microphone/
Any help is much appreciated, thanks.
For me what it worked was to access the Facebook Debugger, as Goose said.
I saw that the scrape was about 12 hours ago, looks like it fetches the first time and saves it as caché or whatsoever...
What it worked for me is to debug the url, then click "fetch new scrape information" after the previous information has been shown.
Hope it works!
For those running across this today, you might find that you also need to verify your domain and link it to your page.
To do this you need to
Set up a Facebook Business Account
Add your page to the business account
Verify your domain (using DNS TXT or adding a page facebook gives you)
Under domains, connect your page as an asset of that domain

Google Doubleclick blank ads in homepage

I am owner of the website legiaodosherois.com.br and I am having issues after starting my first paid campaign with Google Doubleclick for Publishers. All my ad blocks are set for Adsense fallback and it was working pretty well until two days ago when all my ad blocks started to get empty only at homepage, and running fine in all the other pages. I tried to use the debug console by appending the ?google_force_console=1 at my homepage url but just by adding this piece of query string it already makes the ads shows up, so to reproduce my error you must access http://www.legiaodosherois.com.br/?google_force_console=1 and then access http://www.legiaodosherois.com.br/
I couldn't see any problems by checking this debug data, and Google says that the Ad Units are tagged correctly. What can I do?
UPDATE: I just have found that some specific pages such as http://www.legiaodosherois.com.br/2013/vazam-videos-com-as-primeiras-cenas-de-guardioes-da-galaxia.html also aren't displaying any ads!
Thanks in advance and sorry for my bad English,
Vinicius
It happened because some of my posts received a false positive flag from Adsense bot which forbid these pages to show ads. As they were also being shown in the homepage, it was also forbid to show ads. After cleaning them up, it started to work fine!

Domain blocked and no data scraped

I recently purchased the domain www.iacro.dk from UnoEuro and installed WordPress planning to integrate blogging with Facebook. However, I cannot even get to share a link to the domain.
When I try to share any link on my timeline, it gives the error "The content you're trying to share includes a link that's been blocked for being spammy or unsafe: iacro.dk". Searching, I came across Sucuri SiteCheck which showed that McAfee TrustedSource had marked the site as having malicious content. Strange considering that I just bought it, it contains nothing but WordPress and I can't find any previous history of ownership. But I got McAfee to reclassify it and it now shows up green at SiteCheck. However, now a few days later, Facebook still blocks it. Clicking the "let us know" link in the FB block dialog got me to a "Blocked from Adding Content" form that I submitted, but this just triggered a confirmation mail stating that individual issues are not processed.
I then noticed the same behavior as here and here: When I type in any iacro.dk link on my Timeline it generates a blank preview with "(No Title)". It doesn't matter if it's the front page, a htm document or even an image - nothing is returned. So I tried the debugger which returns the very generic "Error Parsing URL: Error parsing input URL, no data was scraped.". Searching on this site, a lot of people suggest that missing "og:" tags might cause no scraping. I installed a WP plugin for that and verified tag generation, but nothing changed. And since FB can't even scrape plain htm / jpg from the domain, I assume tags can be ruled out.
Here someone suggests 301 Redirects being a problem, but I haven't set up redirection - I don't even have a .htaccess file.
So, my questions are: Is this all because of the domain being marked as "spammy"? If so, how can I get the FB ban lifted? However, I have seen examples of other "spammy" sites where the preview is being generated just fine, e.g. http://dagbok.nu described in this question. So if the blacklist is not the only problem, what else is wrong?
This is driving me nuts so thanks a lot in advance!
I don't know the details, but it is a problem that facebook has with web sites hosted on shared servers, i.e. the server hosting your web site also hosts a number of other web sites.
