Adsense Only Showing Blog Ads

    Hi:

    All the ads on my page are only showing ads targeted towards Blogs or blogging. This is rather frustrating because I have tons of content on my blog otherwise.

    I've boiled it down to the fact that I have my blog under the directory:

    www.mysite.com/blog/blogger.php

    Because of that blog directory, it ruins everything. To test out if that was the problem, I republished the blog to my root directory, and that fixed it.

    I wouldn't mind simply fixing the problem, but that url & directory has a good pagerank, and I'd hate to lose it. What can I do to fix this? Is there any tricks with PHP to clear some type of header cache or something I can do with my .htaccess file?

    Thanks in Advance.

    301 redirect from /blog to your new page.

    If I do a 301 redirect, do you think my new page will have the same PR when google does another update as my old page?

    What you need to do is decide on the type of theme you wish your blog to have. Once you have decided, create some outbound links to some on-theme websites; this will help Google decide on a theme for your website.

    :confused: I don’t know where you get your info from Tazo, but RatherBeCreative.com is far from being or becoming a blog advertiser. We are an art web site that offers a free art blog and that is the extent of it. Thank you for your support.

    sbb, have you ever advertised your art with AdWords, using blog and RSS related keywords? If so, your ads would have shown up on sites that the AdSense mediabot considers to be blog related.

    That's probably why tazo's list contains your url, so your ads wouldn't show up on his (her??) site.

    It's better for you in theory because most blogs are geared toward topics other than blogging or art, thus, this may cut down on untargeted clicks of your ads.
