The problem is what you mentioned, that the page is 'virtually nill with content'.
What Adsense does when there's little content to go by is make a guess. It will see what kind of results it gets with the keywords it shows, and if it doesn't get clicks it tries some other terms. If someone on your site clicks an ad for golf clubs, Adsense is going to notice this and show even more ads for golf clubs.

How is it possible to change this and improve your ads to your audience? Take a look at the bottom of my hockey oriented forum and you'll see why I am asking. www.TheHockeyLounge.com
But Public Service ads are a completely different issue than poorly ads targeted. You do not get paid for clicks on public service ads. Those are only displayed before Google has had a chance to analyze the page content OR when it analyzes it and finds objectionable content.

Hmm... Would you know why I would be seeing public service ads? I noticed on their FAQ that you dont get paid for them, but it still tracks them I believe.
Once the traffic to your site picks up, then they will change and be higher in value, trust me www.anythingtalk.com our ads there used to be like "Save an elephant!", now they are like 90% computer related. They have message board, computer mods, computer gaming, and all kinds of ads like that. So just let them kick in a little, and ad some keywords to your site
well im pretty good at getting what typer of ads I want on the site now. my content being what it is allows for extra space on a page... and I just use that for articles I find on the net to fill in the space and essentially choose my own keywords.
