yoou might be right and I'll have to go through the comments to make sure...
I did just get a response back from google adsense providing for me a list of common reasons and solutions...out of the solutions I had already done that - namely to re-copy and paste my adsense code but that didn't work...
the other options had no relavence to my problem so all I have left is to check the comments but I have no idea why comments would hinder my ads displaying...
So adult content on your site affects your adsense ads?
I didn't know that!

Hi,
Thanks for your email regarding your Google AdSense ads and ad targeting.
We've outlined below the most frequently asked questions, which we hope
will address your concerns. If you still have unresolved questions after
looking through this material, please reply directly to this email and
we'll be happy to help you further. Alternatively, feel free to post your
question on
http://groups.google.com/group/adsense-help?utm_source=txbd,
the AdSense Help Forum just for AdSense publishers.
- How can I change the ad targeting on my site?
Unfortunately, we aren't able to manually adjust the ad targeting on your
site. However, we encourage you to check out our section targeting
feature. Section targeting allows you to suggest sections of your text and
HTML content that you'd like us to emphasize or downplay when matching ads
to your site's content. By providing us with your suggestions, you can
assist us in improving your ad targeting.
Please keep in mind that it may take up to 2 weeks before your changes
have an effect on your ad targeting, since it may take this long for our
crawler to capture any changes you've made. The tags and instructions for
adding the section targeting tags to your HTML code can be found at
http://www.google.com/support/adsense/bin/answer.py?answer=23168 .
- I can't see the Google ads on my site.
We've outlined the most common reasons and solutions below. If one of
these reasons doesn't answer your question, please reply to this email
with the answer the questions at the end of this email. Your answers will
help us better investigate.
1. Your code may be modified - Please copy the ad code again exactly as it
appears in the 'Your AdSense code' box of your AdSense account and paste
it directly into the HTML source code of your web pages, without any
modifications. Also, please keep in mind that modifying the ad code is
against our program policies, and it may also result in errors on your
page.
2. You may not have Javascript enabled -

3. You may have ad blocking software or a personal firewall enabled -
https://www.google.com/adsense/support/bin/answer.py?answer=12655 .
4. You may need to clear your browser cache and cookies before accessing
your site again -

https://www.google.com/support/adsense/bin/answer.py?answer=35730 .
- My ads aren't relevant or only public service ad (PSA) appears.
This is mainly due to the following reasons:
1. Our system may not have crawled your pages yet - It can take two weeks
or more for our system to index your pages. Keep in mind that some pages
may show ads, while others do not because each page is crawled
individually. Also note that our crawler is not related to the search
results crawler, and runs on a different schedule.
2. Your site may not contain enough text-based content - Our crawlers
can't derive meaning from images and dynamic media. Unfortunately, we
aren't able to set keyword targeting for such pages at this time. We
recommend adding more complete sentences and paragraphs to assist our
crawlers in gathering information about your pages and determining
relevant ads to display.
3. Your site may be primarily in an unsupported language. We're currently
only able to provide ad targeting for the languages listed at
http://www.google.com/support/adsense/bin/answer.py?answer=9727 .
4. Your site may contain non-family safe content - We currently have
certain filters in place, and our system does not target content which it
determines to be potentially sensitive, negative, or mature. Because this
is done automatically, we can't manually alter to setting for ads to show.
However, please know that our system may be able to deliver more relevant
ads as your page content changes,
5. Your ad unit may be set to display image ads only - Image ad inventory
for your content may be limited at this time; if you've chosen not to
display text ads in an ad unit, we'll show PSAs in that unit when there
are no relevant image ads available. We recommend updating your ad code to
display both text and image ads.
You may wish to visit
http://www.google.com/support/adsense/bin/answer.py?answer=10035 for other
common reasons why PSAs will appear on sites.
