Adsense no longer recognizing main page?

Hello,

I have a <snip> site based on a Nuke system, and it's set up to covert PHP pages to HTML URLs for search engines.

It's been working great for the past month and I've had no problem with Adsense.

Suddenly today I noticed that my homepage is **all** PSAs and that Google will only recognize my index.php page for ads. If I type in my regular URL (www.mysite.com), without the "/index.php," it serves PSAs.

What's the deal? I have a few news stories on my homepage related to the war in Iraq - once I used the word "violent" -- did that cause a problem?

Or is Google failing to recognize anything as the homepage but the PHP page now?

Like I said, it was working fine until today... :(

AdSense Stop Words [google.com]

If you go to any news site and search the subject, you will see certain types of news articles bring up PSAs. This is to prevent any inappropriate ads appearing on articles that could be discussing injuries or deaths. There are plenty of threads on AdSense stop words, and how to work around them.

If you have had that on the page for a while, it may have only recently been re-spidered by the mediabot.

There are always other reasons why there could be PSAs, but it sounds as though it is a stop word issue.
