Ads not relevent, need help

Hi,

I'm a newbie here and was hoping for a little help.

I am starting a brand new website for Christian Missionaries and decided to throw on Adsense. I've been using them on another site of mine for a couple years so it was easy enough and I was curious what types of ads would show. The problem I'm running into is that almost all the Ads I'm getting on the main page are for Mormom/LDS related websites. This content is not good for the traffic that I'm desiring and would in fact probably drive some of it away. I've been trying to add the url's to the competetive ad filter but even advertising for Yahoo uses LDS/Mormon Keywords. I don't want to eliminate Yahoo, but I don't want the LDS/Mormon related links. Any ideas on what to do??

Thanks!

Have you read some FAQ's?
Normally google should spider your site again in a week or so and see if there are more relevant ads,
Otherwiste you can block them..

 

I don't think religion and Adsense work well together. I would try to find something that you have more control over.

 

please try other adsense like services - may be you can get much better context adds for other service and earn more. there is a website contains 21 alternatives of google adsense. try them. they address is as following.

How long has it been? Give it a week or two for adsense to REALLY target your site. It depends on how often the googlebot spiders you. It took Googs about 3 weeks to finally send nothing but targeted ads to my blog. Before that, it was just blog ads after blog ads.

 

yeah , you really should give those poor google spiders some more time.

 

Yes, the ads will work themselves out, but you will likely be disappointed in the amount it brings in. You would be better off with affiliate links.

 

Have you tried creating a sample page of your content with modified keyword phrases to test at http://www.digitalpoint.com/tools/adsense-sandbox/ ?

This might shed some light on how to avoid what you want and obtain the ads you desire. Just a thought...

 

Maybe you should just ask for donations.

 

Yeah, like in church, the collextion thingy
No, just joking.

ha ha ha that's a good ieda

 

Same Problem. Most of the pages are content relevant but few aren't.
Unfortunately most popular page is not content relevant.

I found that the URL has more to do with the ads being served than the content. I went from having a homepage with the URL:

blahblah/frontpage/index.php which was serving ads for 'Microsoft Frontpage' on a completely travel related site.

to /index.php serving the proper ads.

When I converted all my urls to SEO friendly "this-is-the-page-name.html" from the non-descriptive original ones, the ads became very very targetted. To the point it was scary!

 

It's been a little less than a week. I'll give it more time and if it doesn't change, I'll have to probably take adsense off the site. Thanks for the help.
