Hi all, I started a blog this weekend using the ProSense theme. There's something really weird going though, on my index adsense is showing completely unrelated ads about wordpress and blogging, and in the wrong language! (my site is not in english, but the ads are) On my internal pages, adsense is showing extremely targeted good ads! Now, when I first ran my ProSense theme, of course there where some test links to wordpress documentation etc, in english. But now that's all gone and adsense is still showing these kind of ads...Is it just adsense 'lagging behind' and does it take a while to update?
>JM007 You might have to wait for 2-3 days or longer till your ads generate proper ads in the language that you want. Be Patient! ttp://adsense-tips-engrish.seesaa.net/ (add h at the beginning)
As google scans your pages, it also informs adsense to place in the most relevant ads. You just need to wait for a while before results come.
Try to see again next week. If it still the same view, maybe you must change your meta keywords. Find some keyword or keywords phrase that related to your blog contents..
thanks for your help! We'll see what happens, I just have difficulties understanding why the homepage is not showing relevant ads but other (exactly the same pages) are, and my site isn't even indexed yet so
It's because you may have more than one or two articles in your home page. So many keywords on a single page this may be one reason to mismatching of ads. Google spider takes some time to scan your page and assign relevant ads. If ads are relevant then automatically ctr will be low, so my advice is to hide ads in home page so that we can increase our ecpm and decrease bounce rate for a single change.
Im having the exact problem. Ads are not tergeted on homepage, just on internal pages. Ads on homepage are in different language andare about wordpress and blogging. Whats the solution to this problem?
You have to use the "section targeting" code. You can put it around just 1 keyword or phrase and you should show relevant ads in 1 or 2 days. Sometimes it might take longer. https://www.google.com/adsense/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=23168
Are you sure this will solve this problem? Im using "section targetting" on my posts, still the homepage does not show relevant ads, just internal post pages do. Home page shows ads about blogging and wordpress.
My website is http://telemovel.me You will see that the internal pages display ads in portuguese which is correct (I'm using section targeting code on my posts). The homepage shows completely unrealted ads in englush about blogging and wordpress. Take a look.
