Why Google Off Base In Safari?

    I'm getting these really wacky/innacurate result in Safari browser.
    I've been told that is because of Google's lame "personalized results" based on previous searches and your location.

    I cleared my search history and it did not help.

    Only other idea I have is to change my IP address.

    Any other ideas appreciated. thanks

    I opened your site in both FireFox and Safari and compared:

    - the ad URLs are partially cut off in Safari, just as in your image

    - the ad URLs don't appear at all in FireFox - it's not clear if they are completely cut off or the formatting is a bit different. It actually seems to be the latter - the ads in Firefox don't have the bottom URLs so there is nothing to be cut off.

    I've never seen that issue before, so I'm a bit stumped.

    You might try increasing and/or decreasing the font size of the ad unit.
