I just recently started this site: http://personalwebguide.com/ I had ads up there for about a week, then decided to take them down to play with the CSS file a bit. Today I then decided to put them back up. If you look at those ads, most of them are completely irrelevant. They aren't PSA's, as I'm still getting paid when somebody clicks them, it's just they're completely bizarre, never seen those kinds of ads in my life. Now look at this http://personalwebguide.com/personalwebguide SAME EXACT PAGE, yet it displays ads that are relevant to the content. In case you're wondering, I use drupal to run my site, and so that's the page I have embedded as my homepage. For what it's worth, this page has also been displaying the same strange ads as the homepage http://personalwebguide.com/needypeople This page used to display relevant ads, now it displays the same bogus stuff as the default homepage does. Ad's about lawyers in areas that aren't even near me, black dating sites, adoption services, etc etc. Any idea why google would start displaying these strange ads like that? And sorry if the links don't work... this forum is telling me I don't currently have access to that feature yet. I appreciate any help I can get, thank you everybody.
are you use wordpress or what? your content not manage well. i think if you manage with wordpress you can get better look and easy to make it all relevant.
Hmm.. google read the code and content to try and decipher what the webpage is about. Also, title tag is very important on determinating the ads. So if you have the word "Personal", you will get dating, or personal injury lawyer ads. Try to see if you can add in a meta description, meta tags, in addition to title. And removing whatever keywords that isn't related to the page in the html code.
you got right on the button my friend. The title is about personal so it is very wide ranging topic and you can get any type of ads regarding personals..
read OP's post as Op already said the site running on drupal. @Op, when you take down a site for a while and put it back up, depending on how long the sites stays down, it might get removed form indexing. if thats the case, then it will take a day or so before you start seeing relevant ads. if you still dont see relevant ads after a day, then you can try "section targeting" (just google) which will help for sure
Thanks for the help guys! I'm going to give it an extra day or so and see if that works out. The only thing I'm still a bit confused by is why google would display different ads on two different pages of identical content.
I don't believe so. Are you referring to the option where google sees what previous sites the user has viewed, and then attempts to adjusts the ads according to their interests? If so, no, I do not have that turned on. It's just very frustrating that my homepage will not display the proper ads (not will the /needypeople page) and I'm not sure why. When I view personalwebguide.com/personalwebguide, which is just a stand alone content page, it works fine. However when I take that EXACT same file and make my .index file (homepage) the ads start acting all goofy.
