    Do not center the 468*60 ad unit on the result page. Leave it aligned to the left.

    I'd also add a centered (this time :D) 468*60 ad unit right after the "1|2|3|4... Next"

    thanks for checking. Yes. it's just weird. it went from the church ads (ie church, jesus, gospel) to personal loans and virgin something, don't like a phone or maybe also a loan, just didn't click on the ads to check. but that's what it shows now. the ads are completely off. i mean, i rather have the ads showing the loans as opposed to the church ads, however, this is also bad, because in the last 7 days, i have got like a total of 1-click out of maybe almost 324 pageviews. not good all. i mean very terrible. but the fact that the wrong ads are showing, i think have a lot of influence on the click-through rate. don't know what to do.

    In most cases, Google needs to crawl a site to determine which ads are the most appropriate. And for the most part Google does a good job. But because you have no direct links to any of the search terms people are typing in, Google has not crawled those pages. I believe that is your problem.

    Eventually Google will come around and crawl search=KEYWORD, but who knows how long it will take to crawl the english dictionary. :) Google will likely see the search terms generated by your visitors and then crawl after the fact. It's almost like a discovery of a new page when someone types in a keyword/phrase that has not been crawled. Google should log it for a future crawl.

    Fortunately your SE places the search term first in the page title. That will help a little until Google gets around to crawling the search terms.

    Yeah. the name of the search was there first. but then i was like why not put it at the beginning of the page tittle, to check if it would help. i guess now it's a waiting game, but i hope google comes around soon cause i want to start doing some mass advertising. but pretty much waiting for them right now. don't want all much $$$ and effort / time to go to waste.
