PSA's all of the sudden

A site of mine all of the sudden started displaying PSAs on the front page and has been doing so for almost a week. Nothing on the page is objectionable and has been this way for the life of the page, but still PSA's are showing. I havent changed anything on the front page that I can think would cause this but I need to rectify it ASAP.

All of my sub-pages still display proper ads, but my front page (which gets the most traffic) is not showing ads. This is killing my revenue (obviously) and I dont know what to do to fix it. Could it be that my site needs a recrawl by google or something? I dont understand why this would happen out of the blue.

I have a page that changes dynamically daily but the keywords and structure stays the same.

I had that problem also and emailed Google about it. Basically I was told there was nothing wrong with what they saw BUT... I think they reset something as I never had that problem again, just good ads shows now.

I emailed them this morning but I havent heard back. Any idea on what the turnaround time for this sort of thing is?

Don't remember. Couple days or so I guess.

Desperate times call for desperate measures. ;) You might try renaming your home page for a new mediabot crawl. I'm simply talking about something like "index.html" to "index.shtml" Accompany the rename with a simple mod on an Apache server: the DirectoryIndex directive in the ".htaccess" file. E.g:

DirectoryIndex index.shtml index.html

I've used this simple rename hack to reset the mediabot's settings (on an internal page). Of course; YMMV.
