Suddenly irrelevant ads appearing

    I've had my site running for couple months now and been having very good and relevant ads, but some days ago I suddenly started get completely irrelevant ads on my index page, that is not related to anything i got on my site at all. I suddenly get a lot of "support our troops" ads there now, military dating ads, and other army related stuff.. And I also get a lot of ads about internet connection speeds and stuff. On the other pages of my site the ads seems correct though. What could be the reason for this?

    1. You need to use section targeting.
    2. Maybe there is not enough info on your page so Google's crawler cannot determine the proper ads to display.
    3. If you updated your page recently, remember it takes a couple of weeks to see any changes.

    But considering it worked fine for 2 months, why would it suddenly change like this? I didnt make any other updates on the page lately either except for what I have been doing frequently for the last months with no such effect on the ads.

    try it on another computer. i had this issue.

    as an example, my site A is about apples, and my new site B is about oranges.

    when i first created site B, it kept showing ads about apples when i looked at it from home. then i tried at work, and the ads are about oranges. when i went home again, the ads were once again about apples on site B. very strange.
