Here's the situation: - I have a site, say www.mysite.com - The home page of the site is default.aspx - default.aspx is served automatically by IIS when someone types the domain name only - In this case (when someone just types www.mysite.com), adsense displays a PSA without any targeting - When the same page is accessed using the full URL (www.mysite.com/default.aspx), the page contains targeted ads Any ideas how to solve this?
Try placing some Google recommended tags before and after some content that you want to specify for emphasis to help generate more relevant ads maybe: <!-- google_ad_section_start --> content <!-- google_ad_section_end -->
How long have the PSAs been there? If it's been a day or two, then patience will usually prevail. Otherwise, look into stop words. Here's a list of stop words I put together. http://www.kbcafe.com/adwords/?guid=20050929081147 Remove any stop words, then wait a few days (as much as a week). If the problem persists, then you want to redirect the http://www.mysite.com/ to http://www.mysite.com/defaults.aspx. You can do this by checking the Request.Url and call Response.Redirect. Hope this helps,
It would also help others help you if you posted the URL for an examination of the site / code to ensure there isn't another underlying issue.
Maybe I didn't explain myself clearly. I am talking about the home page of the site. The SAME page shows a PSA when launced with the domain name only (no page name) and shows targeted ads when the full URL is used (page name included). This has been going on since I launched Adsense over a week ago. It seems as if Adsense either does not crawl the home page or cannot resolve it when using the domain name without a specific page name. Changing the content of the page (special tags, etc.) won't help because the same page shows ads when launced with the full URL. I don't post the URL because the site is not in English (which doesn't affect targeting).
