AdSense and Coppermine Gallery

Anyone getting targeted ads

I've been experimenting with AdSense on Coppermine gallery pages. I've got decent descriptive text under all the images with what I think should be good keywords for context based ads, but I'm not really seeing consistant targeted Adsense ads.

I have seen them on rare occasion, so Adsense clearly could serve ads based on the page content, but even on the pages where I've seen targeted ads, most of the time the ads are pretty far off base, typically maybe stuff like web hosting, webpage design, PHP etc rather than widgets, even though I have images of widgets and descriptive text for the images which is all about widgets. Obviously Adsense can't read the images, but it can certainly read the descripive text and title.

The ads look like they are targeting online webpages written in PHP using MySQL (which is what Coppermine is), rather than widgets. This is probably because there's a bunch of HTML and PHP code in the source before you get to the actual widget text. However the page title is right at the top and it also contains all the widget words!

Even worse is the fact that I get the SAME ads on just about every page, not the same subject, but the same ads.

Anyone have a similar experience and find any solution for this?

have you tried telling google exactly what text phrases to target?
