: Is there a time delay before Google Adsense ads are shown when you first put the ad code on a new website? I have recently created a new website and have added a Google ad in the header

First, make sure the website is approved with google, or else you won't see ads.

Then when you add new adsense code for the first time, then advertisement box will initially be similar to an iframe with a system message from your web browser indicating that it can't connect to some URL. Once enough people view the page, then advertisements will start rolling in. I'd expect roughly 15 minutes to two hours of delay before the ads appear depending on how busy your website is.

There is also a section in adsense (I think under settings) where you can list all domains that are allowed to have your adsense code on it. I know that if someone uses your adsense code on a domain not approved by you (a.k.a not in the list) then you won't earn any money or penalties on those ads, however I did not test enough to see if your code on unapproved domains actually generates ads or not, but nevertheless, add your domain to the approved domains list.
