Very strange keyword problem

brian1269 · 02-15-2006, 06:28 AM

OK here's the deal. I just re-designed a site and now the ads have nothing to do with the content of the index page. But if I rename the page and upload it, the ads are fine and reflect the content of the page. Exact same page, just a different file name.
Anyone have any idea what's going on here? Thanks.

It probably just needs a bit of time for Google to get the right ad's to reflect the page's content.

When I uploaded the same page with a different filename, the ads were back to normal though, instantly. So I don't think it's time that's the problem.

I agree, they probably cache the url. If you change the file name, the adsense bot thinks that it is a new page and takes time.

I also have some problem. I am running a forum about movies, but most ads shown are related to forum hosting, forum software and web hosting. In my other forum for webmasters, the ads are relevant.

only google and god know the reasons

I am only getting ads of like how to eliminate stress, anger management and psychotherapists. It seems like no matter how I change the content, this is all I get when I test it with the 'Google AdSense Preview Tool.' Anyone have any ideas on why this is happening?

A suggestion for you: when you're asking about a particular site, it's a good idea to have a link in your signature, or set in your profile, so that people can check out the site if they wish.
Signatures can be attached to individual posts (including existing ones, by using an edit), and a link in the profile would give the option of a "WWW" button under your posts.
Perhaps someone would be able to give you more help, if they saw the site.

The file name can affect the type of ads showing, that is one thing. But also, like someone else mentioned, a brand new page can take a bit of time to show the right ads because google wants to verify the content before they show the good ads.

How long did you wait when you published your new page?
