    Sometimes, a relivent ad shows up, but usually it has something to do with hosting and computer stuff. why?

    My guess would be is because google cant' find the appropriate content for the page. When I look at the homepage, I do not see much content or information about the site. There are a few sentences about dogs, but a LOT of other material. I would beef up the specific keyword content and google will have an easier time finding what to display

    does google allow you to put a bunch of key words on you home page...at th ebottom in the same colour as your background, so no one can see it?

    Since i use a portal, the content is always changing, just wondering if this would make a difference.

    Nope, thats against the TOS, I've seen lots of sites that do it though... and so they must not be too strict about it, but I've seen one or two people get cought for it to.

    no, it's against their rules and considered bad style.

    it's ok if the content is changing, but doesn't it at least remain relevant to the theme of the site?

    well, that explains why you have computer ads showing up then.

    Is your site a forum only?

    i had asked you if your content them stayed the same, you said 90% is computer stuff. i think we had a miscommunication :) i thought you said 90% of the content was computer related, I was unaware you meant your ads

    If you stuff your site with a lot of keywords you will get public service ad and a notice from google.
