Non-relevant Ads Showing Up

[dgridley]

OK, this has me frazzled.. I've been working on my lead-in page on my www.articlesites.info and originally had two snippets from unrelated articles displayed on the main page: one on Credit Repair, the other on Digital Cameras. Well, both leaderboard Adsense ad blocks continually showed ads for digital cameras no matter how I arranged them on the page. So..

I deleted both those snippets and placed a single Debt Relief article on the page and the ads are still showing digital camera ads! What's up?

Anyone have any ideas?

As Google crawls your site more and more the ads will get more targeted. It is quite annoying though at first how the ads have nothing to do with your site.

Tell me about it.. the funny thing is, the ads featured on the article pages are all targeting fine.. it's just the main page I'm having problems with!

Dave,
Try retargetting by creating index2.html, index3.html, index4.html, etc., with different spans and targgeted text until you finally get the results you want (Rename the index file each time so google will be forced to recrawl).
Once you finally get the results you want, you can either set your default index page to the one you want, or rename the corrected file to index.shtml and delete the index.html you're using. If you're using a .php file as your main page (Or anything else dynamic), you'll have to reset the default name to force Google to recrawl.
