    Okay, the problem is back. My site about Orlando Weather is running ads for ring tones and drugs. This hasn't happened before. Is it some sort of a hijack, or is Google insane?

    The site is http://www.orlando-weather.us

    They may be drugs that will "pick you up" during bad weather? IE winter.

    That's all I can think of...

    Happens on my sites from time to time, too.
    Completely irrelevant ads, lasting a couple of hours, not more. Sometimes funny looking but not crucial to my projects.

    Today I looked at the page source for one of my sites, and I see the problem. Somehow someone has inserted links to numerous sites relating to ringtones and drug selling websites. I just contacted my hosting company, I am guessing that it's their fault, since they have just recently started blocking ftp privileges for certain European ips. Meanwhile my traffic from the search engines has been crippled and my adsense profits have plummeted. At least I now know the problem, and I'll get it fixed, even if it means changing my host. Does anyone here know what the hackers may have done?
