Just to update my original post - no the ad's are still not showing.

I'd been told to test the site using the Google Adsense preview tool which I did and received the following error message: e:-2146697208

After a Google search plenty of sites suggest you get this when the site is blacklisted.

Approx two weeks ago I emailed Google and explained the situation. I am currently still awaiting a response and will update when I hear back!

(Unless anyone has any other suggestions!)

thanks
Dan
