Wrong language detected by AdSense

mocs · 08-30-2005, 11:24 PM

Hi everyone !

I've been experiencing something very strange in the last few days on one of my website.
I have Adsense displaying the ads in a different language...For example : french content / english ads

As anybody had this issue yet ?
Thanks

Sam

EDIT: Sorry i am in the wrong forum...didn't see that...Can a moderator move my topic to the appropriate category ? (I need some sleep...)

Google caters ads taking into consideration both the language of website in question and also the location of the visitor. But this is not always the case. For example, an American with a Frenchified computer will get the same ads as a French person in France. On the other hand someone from France with an English computer will be more likely to get English ads.
If you are from Canada, that may the problem, since Google seems to always map English to Canadian computers.

I Think you're right because the users who complain about this issue are from canada...
In fact i don't have this kind of problem anywhere else...

I'm actually looking for a solution to this problem...
I'll keep you informed in this topic

I previously had this problem, when I stuck some google ads on a freewebs site, however when I used a different free domain name pointing at the freewebs account, the ads were more US and Western European orientated.
