Google not displaying correct content

    Hi Folks,
    I am new to the whole Adsense thing. I have a page that generates a search feed. I placed google ads on the page in the right hand column. Sometimes the ads show the same content as the words queried, but most of the time it does not.

    Any suggestions?

    Thanks Mike G

    Nothing you can do other than try to get better content.

    Good luck...

    If you have many content in one page, this may confuse adsense. But if your content is about one thing (like web hosting forexample) then the ads are relative to your content.

    You could also try section targetting and see if that helps to display more relevant ads

    Thanks for the input. The page is generating content from searchfeed.com. When a person puts in a search word, the entire page produces content for that key word. However, google outputs the same 5 ads regardless of what you enter.

    Any other thoughts?

    The page is not crawled every time someone views it. So the ads are chosen based on what Google saw when it crawled the ad. You need the URL for the results page to vary somewhat. Easiest way is to add a query parameter to the URL with the keywords, i.e.

    http://www.mysite.com/results?keywords=AdSense+tips
    http://www.mysite.com/results?keywords=Eric+Giguere
    http://www.mysite.com/results?keywords=funny+jokes

    AdSense considers these all to be separate pages...

    The problem with matrixxdg's site is actually that the content of the page is populated on the client via JavaScript, not on the server. This means that the AdSense crawler always sees the same empty page. So matrixxdg has to fix the site to generate the content on the server before any targeting will occur.
