Targeting off after changing hosts

I recently took over ownership of a website, and in doing so moved it to a new host provider. However the adsense ads still seem to be targeting to the content of the <i>old</i> host. And the ads are way off.

I'm wondering whether Google has cached the IP of the site, and is still crawling the old IP, and coming up with wrong ads. This has been going on for some weeks and shows no sign of changing. Even new pages on the site seem to 'inherit' the wrong keywords and ads.

Anyone?

How did the old host have any different content than the new? What host puts content on a site? Was it one of those free ones that places ads on it?

I don't know how long it takes adsense to serve different ads for the different content. I would think less than two weeks.

Maybe they aren't matching well because Google doesn't have ads for your content.

There are most certainly ads for the topic. The previous content just didn't use keywords so well, therefore causing the ads to be targeted poorly.

There must be someone who has changed IPs?
