Now I get a lot of non relevant Ads showing on my website and CTR is also down. In the past I had almost same ads on all pages of my website and I can understand they want to analyze every wording on the current page to deliver correct ads, in some cases it delivers relevant Ads but in most cases it doesnt.

Please, give me back the old Ads that were atleast relevant to my website.

Take a hard look at your copy and refresh it. Add more relevant keywords ...educate adsense into better ads by optimising your text.

Look like in the past they used the full page to consider keywords/target. Now it look like they filter out the "template" which is keyword rich for my niche and just analyze the unique content on the page.

Most content pages have accurate Ads on topic, the problem is my forum pages. The forum draws a lot of traffic and ofcourse I would like to have Ads that reflect the website theme rather than words people write.

We have the same problem, the first few pages are on target than the rest are completely off target.

Hi,

I have the same problem -- relevant ads on my sub-pages, but my index.htm has gone generic.

But I use a Blog-style, so my main page always featues the same info as my sub-pages!

I've seen a few other people with this issue based on Google searching, but no one's been able to pinpoint why.

Is Adsense 'punishing' Bloggers?! My relevant ads literally 'switched off' from the index.html page around a week and a half ago.

Adsense is in it for the money too. Think of it like this; it spiders your page and inserts the ad. It spiders it gain and its the same text, and it spiders it again ... and its the same text. Give it some spider food!

Feed it with new fresh copy, inspire it to gove you fresh relevant ads.

My ads seem to be as targetted as always today. For some strange reason I have yet to see a click today. Very strange indeed.

I've seen very few clicks today myself. I've been adding some content this morning and have seen large open spaces instead of fully filled adblocks/adlinks when the new content is first viewed. It corrects itself in short order, but this isn't what has usually happened in the past. Never saw so much emptiness before. Even with the preview tool, I still have to wonder what the site's visitors really see. Maybe nothing, maybe very little. Certainly not enough of interest to catch their eye and catch their click.

I even cleared out my filter list last night except for a handful of sites that I personally object to. It is pitiful when you see the ebay ads at the top of the heap.

"Feed it with new fresh copy, inspire it to gove you fresh relevant ads"

That's my problem -- I update every day!

Each separate article page has relevant ads, but the main index page doesn't, despite having the same code/copy.

I've emailed Google but am yet to get a reply.

We update every day!
Our main index page is on target, each new separate article page is completely off target!
Google states that it will take 48 hours to for it to be on target and in the mean time we loose revenue because Google cant get there act together.
