    Hey guys, sorry if this is not the right place for this question.

    I have an issue, mysite.com/ is not showing relevant ads, but mysite.com/index.php (both are exactly the same page) is showing correctly

    Any special reason why this might be happening?

    Thanks in advanced for any help...

    I think its best to address this question to adsense directly.

    I have once had a similar problem with relevancy and after a few days of inspection they solved it. Or so the reply. Personally I haven't seen any improvement, but because of this websites content I can't do much. Lack of advertisers.

    I don't think it is ok to have 2 identical pages (/ and /index.php). Have one redirected to the other one.

    it's not duplicate pages, index.php is my default homepage that is displayed if someone enters mysite.com

    google might not have the .com indexed while the .com/index.php is indexed. That is pretty freakin weird.

    Maybe you have some kind of forwarding set up so that if someone types in yoursite.com it goes to www.yoursite.com/index.php vs if they just type in www.yoursite.com.

    If your site have less content, then try to increase it as some times that is the reason for irrelevant ads that show up.

    Also, do section targeting, that will help to display relevant ads in your site.
