I run a classified ads page about a *particular subject*. (no session id's)
Most of the Adsense Ads are about classified ads instead of the *particular subject*
I filtered out the ads I don't want to, but they show up again later!

On my homepage about the *particular subject* the adsense ads are targetted much better!
I wrote some content about the *subject* in the same table as the Adsense code is on the classified ads site,
and changed the title from "subject classified ads" to "used subject for sale" ...
But it doesn't seems to work ...
Help please?!

I had a similar problem and did the same thing you did. ie, change the title of the page. It has been working well since then but the change did not take immediately. You probably should give some time... for the mediabot to pick up your new page.

Jettie, do the url's of your site contain the word classified?

Hi,
I have the same problem. Before mid Oct. All ads were super targeted but since then most of the ads deal with general category of my site rather than specific categories. An example is I have a page with the title tag:
mydomain.com - internet
this page would have ads about isp's and stuff. Now just about all ads on my site are about search engine submission.
I think google has not allocated enough resources to categorize large sites. I hope they will get to it eventually.

It takes time for the mediabot to come around. to test if your changes work, you could take a new format page and save it as a new file in your server such as "newpage.html" load it in your browser and wait for mediapartners to come around. Then load it again to see if the changes are enough.

Yes, Yidaki, that's right, and I don't think I can change that anymore, because all stuff is saved in a database called "classified" on my localhost ...
