AS no longer relevant to my page

    A long time ago I had posted some links relating to online music, streaming, etc. I'm talking like 2 months ago. Now whenever I visit my home page, the only ads I see are for online music, streaming, PSAs, even for some reason, Hilary Duff. The only reason I can think the music ads are showing up are because my blog has a "While I posted this I was listening to" feature, where it posts whatever CD I want. But the Hilary Duff ads I'm thrown on. The Duff ads also show up in a post about writing. "I was listening to" points to Eminem. So unless Google somehow equates Eminem with Hilary Duff, that ad shouldn't be showing up at all.
    So unless someone can tell me how to fix this, or if Google's working on fixing this, I'm planning on quitting the AS program. It hasn't generated enough money for me to be worth the bother.

    I am absolutely convinced the relevancy of your ads has to do with how often Google visits your page. I have two blogs right now, both in totally different subjects. One is getting nothing but relevant ads -- I mean, SPOT ON. The other? Nothing but blog ads. One day, actual relevant ads showed up -- then back to blogs. The reason? Google has already indexed my first blog (lo and behold, it ranks right at the top despite being just a few weeks old), while my second blog still has no description in the index. I'm guessing that the reason why Google continues to post ads for something you posted 2 months ago is because that was either the last time they visited, or the last time they bothered to spider your pages.

    Of course I could be wrong. It's just a guess.

    I figured as much, but all of the posts I've been adding these last few weeks have relevant ads. So either Google is selective indexing pages, or there's some bizarre caching situation.
    Plus what about the Hilary Duff ads? Is Google's "dictionary/thesaurus" or whatever method they use so poor that if there's one single link related to music, even though the entire post is about writing, then the whole page must be about Hilary Duff?

    TooCool, when you talk about spidering the site do you mean regular google, or the mediapartner bot for adsense?

    Because Google has yet to properly spider one of my sites and it has very relevant adsense ads. Mediapartner google is there 10 or more times a day.

    Yes, Google's spidering bot, called Googlebot.

    Add more relevant links to your home page. If the anchor text pointing to your blogs home pages are music related then the adsense may be music related. Better, get links to articles deep inside your blogs.
