Hi, all.
My site is travel information site. The site is hosted by Godaddy (free host Linux/php/mySQL with domain). And now is funny: My site shows the many Ads about PHP& MySQL. I already have checked keywords and every things in my code, nothing about PHP and MySQL. How do you thing: is this due free hosting or I did some thing wrong?
Thanks in advance.
Tuan.

Perhaps one of your pages returned a PHP/MySql error when the Adsense Media bot visited?

Here's a little tip: change the format of your ad to get the bot to return and spider the affected page(s) again.

also, as in certain cases the words in URL are also considered, a problem might arise if your URL is something like:

www.free-php-hosting.com/mysql/mysql=123123

I think Frox is right.
My URL likes [myhome.com...]
I will try change it and let you informed.
Thanks.

I changed the URL as follows:
original:
www.myhome.com/template.php?item=#*$!&subitem=yyy
changed to
www.myhome.com/goto.php?location=xxx&destination=yyy
Now the Ads is ok.

One more question:
Can anyone that has successful travel site PM the URL to me? I would like to learn many things: keywords selection, links etc. My site is about my country (asia), so don't be aware that i will copy some things from your site :).
To Sobriquet: I use php script for easier page generation. By direct writing HTML is so much works.

Tuan: Make sure to set a proper redirect from "template.php" to "goto.php". Also make sure, that your content can only be accessed via "goto.php" and not anymore via "template.php". Otherwise you might be hurt by a dupe content penalty.

Tuan look into url rewriting; eg instead of:
www.myhome.com/goto.php?location=#*$!&destination=yyy

instead have:
www.myhome.com/some_country/some_state/
etc

Many report on getting better indexing with that kind of structure rather than using the querystring
