    :confused:Hi guys my blog has an issue only on the first page
    and when i remove the channels for the ads they sometimes come back with the relevant ads again and then sometimes that doesn't work.

    My blog is 22 days old today and iam getting most my traffic from google my ctr is good when the ads work on the from page and like todays when they don't i get nothing:(

    I am using a java scipt at the top of my page for the homepage which is the only thing diffrent from the rest of the pages and that its not static content on the homepage....

    Guys can you please help...

    Your homepage shows more ads than your inner pages:
    the more links, the broader the context from the contextual ads.

    Contextual also means you can't really compare your homepage with 1 single page,
    as the content is logically different.

    Here is what you can try. Use Adsense section targeting to target the static section on your homepage which will show ads relevant to that section only. Further you can disallow adsense crawler to to crawl your dynamic/javascript content of your page using the same technique.

    This often happens because blog home pages show the recent posts and when ever new posts are made they pop up to the top thus making the homepage content change each time the blog is updated.

    Add index.php to the end of your homepage url and you'll see the ads become relevant. http://fighterjets.blogsite.org/index.php

    I'm sure you dont want it set it like that so can get relevant ads. So do this:

    -Change your permalink structure to something normal. (ie. remove index.php from single page urls). Use Deans Permalink redirect plugin, so arent affect by the permalink change in Google.
    -Use a sitemap plugin
    -Add this to your wp-config.php immediately after dB connect variables:
    define('WP_SITEURL', 'http://fighterjets.blogsite.org');
    define('WP_HOME', 'http://fighterjets.blogsite.org');
    -Make sure a single.php exists for your single posts
    -index.php or home.php is fine for the home page.
    -Put your Analytics Code at the bottom of page

    Wordpress is really weird with ad relevancy.

    Homepage ads is based on the last visit of Google Crawler and it will surely result to irrelevant ads if you are updating your homepage faster than your crawl rate.

    Yes after you make changes, you have to wait on next crawl of your site by Adsense bot.

    ewww ..IIS. :D
    You're gonna have to do some searching ...i haven't worked with IIS and wordpress.

    But the problem you PMed about with 404s when you change permalink has to do with your .htaccess and rewrite rules. You have to research the IIS equivalent of that.
