Hello all After a communication with Google, I learned that one may place Adsense on pages in unsupported languages as well, as long as they comply with all other requirements. So, I placed Google ads on a website in Romanian (www.dindragoste.ro - love stories and poetry), but I only get Public Service ads and nobody clicks on them. Does anyone have an idea how to get rid of these public service ads or at least get a decent CTR (btw, how much is a click on public service ads) ? Is there an ad format that performs better for these ads? Thanks.
Adsense ads are contextual, which means it "reads" the text of the page and displays relevant ads based on the content. Now, if it can't understand the text it won't be able to display ads and that is why you are getting PSA's.
few things I do for non-english content page that have AS on it. You also can try: 1. add these meta tags <meta name="keywords" lang="en" content="keywords in ENGLISH"> <meta name="description" lang="en" content="description of the site in ENGLISH"> 2 Add a section written in ENGLISH - relevent to meta tags, on every page you place Adsense and do "Section Targetting" Read THIS to know What is section targeting and how do I implement it? Goodluck to you.

Thanks a lot EWpro ! This is exactly what I hoped for, when I posted my question. It is really important. I'll try to implement this section targeting and we'll se what happens. They say "it may take up to 2 weeks before our crawlers take into account any changes you've made to your site." Please allow me to say thanks:
I also have a Romanian site, www.onlinesport.ro I have some advertising spaces rented by local agencies, but also tried google adsense. It always displays public ads. My trafic is about 5,000 unique users per day and 45,000 impressions per day. From over 900,000 impressions in a month I earned 30$. There is no point in using public ads... Is is strange, because there are Romanian sites that use Adsense and serves no PSA's.
If you make part of the site in limba engleza - then you might get more adsense - but will that help? The reader of the site is reading în limba românã and probably will not click on the English ads. I hardly ever see Romanian Adsense ads - although there are some. So all Romanian sites carrying Adsense are competing for a very small market, my guess is the payoffs will be small. Some keywords that might get them are Afaceri and Imobiliare sprinkled around
