Please Help - My homepage is showing unrelated ads

Hi there,

Hope someone can help. One of my sites is about hair extensions and all the post pages show the appropriate ads. However my home page is showing ads about Geneology, ancestry and looking up your family trees.

Can anyone explain why this may be happening?

I recently changed the wordpress theme which went fine. As most people will go to the home page, I would like to get this problem fixed asap.

Many thanks

 

Are you using the google comment codes that tell adsense where the main content of the page is? I'm not sure where their help page about it is, but take a look at the html of this graphics blog (search for "google") and you can find it there. It's in between posts.

 

please allow few days to google to understand your site content

 

gives the url of the site so we can check it out

 

The site I am having trouble with is Extensions For Hair

The adsense is appropriate when I click on the posts but the homepage is not. What do i need to do?

I am in UK, maybe the ads show up ok in different countries.

I am also new to this so please use small non-technical words to explain what I need to do

Many thanks

 

It'll take a few days to a week or so until google properly determines which ads to serve on your site. Its likely that this will right itself in a week's time.

 

Maybe google haven't finished crawling the contents of your site. Once finished, it will show relevant ads for sure.

 

It's a wordpress blog. Find the line that looks like

 <?php the_content("Click here to continue reading &rarr;"); ?> 

Code (markup):

In index.php and put context targetting around it so it looks like:

<!-- google_ad_section_start -->
<?php the_content("Click here to continue reading &rarr;"); ?> 
<!-- google_ad_section_end -->

Code (markup):

Your homepage is show hair extensions and hair products now when i just looked at it.

 

Checked it too and all seems normal.

 

I just wanted to say thanks. I have just checked my site and it is just one adsense block that is wrong. As you all said, google may still be crawling the site so this should resolve itself completely in a couple of days.

I am just happy that I haven't done anything wrong.

Thanks again

 

please allow a few day to google to understand your site content and vdo and picture.
