My experience with Adsense is when it's first setup, it can be blank for sometime (hours) before ads starts showing. However you should also check your browser's console in case there are any other SSL / Javascript related issues.

Well the probleme I faced was as simple as enabling SSL; It seems that some ad networks serve ads for publishers that can't support SSL, so if your site is encrypted and has HTTPS on its URL ( notice the "S" at the end ) than you wont be able to display those ads.

If you disable SSL on your site than you will be able to display all ads from any ad network, however their are some ad networks like AdSense that can serve ads trough SSl ( HTTPS ) with either a little modification to an old ad code or by creating a new one.

So at the end you must ask yourself if your website needs to be secure and encrypted with SSL ( sites that has critical information like users passwords and snesitive data should always enable SSL ) and in this case use only ad networks that support SSL, other than that if your site is only HTTP than everything should be just OK.

There is of course other reasons why ads do not display ( AdSense don't display ads if your website is new or if it can't find relevant content for their ads ); but in my case that was the probleme.

i hope it can help others solve their issues.
