I run a blog about widgets. The home page will have my last x articles on it, and older ones are accessed by links.

Twice now, when G has found a certain keyword on my home page, it loads every ad ( I have 3 blocks) with content relating to that one keyword.

Now, that article has long since dropped off the bottom of my home page into the archives. My adsense ads are still stuck on that keyword for the home page. Other pages are ok.

I even tried slightly changing my adsense code, to no avail... What else can I do? These ads are killing my CTR.

Did you try changing the ad unit size? That will normally trigger the mediabot to come.

The trouble with blogs and news headline pages is that AdSense ads will target whatever happens to be on the page at the time, and it might not get respidered again for weeks, leading to mistargeting (since AdSense doesn't know the page content has changed).

I had only tried modifying the ad colours.
Thanks for the tip - I'll try that.
I'm assuming changing from wide-syscraper to regular skyscraper is a change in ad size.

Tried this but it didn't help.
