Any ideas? I've filtered, but more keep popping up.
soona99: If you have pages that have gotten off target with Adsense and you fixed/removed the keywords you think were the cause, you then have to be patient. It can sometimes take literally weeks for the Adsense bot to come back and correct your targetting.
The homepage of one of my biggest sites is currently off-target and waiting for the Adsense bot to come back. Next week it will be two weeks.

It's very frustrating after a day to think you dodged a bullet and your correct ads are back, only keep losing them back and forth for a few days before they go altogether.
ASA? Are you listening? Any possible respite for those of us who need a bot revisit? I'm going on two weeks off target on my homepage...
There really should be a way for us to filter by keyword. No one wants these ringtone ads, they're major ripoffs (because they promise something for free when they're really not) and they make us all look bad, the publishers and G alike. Why does G allow them?
I blocked it immediately. I guess sometimes you can also try to add the "www" to it too. I did both and the filter accepted both of them instead of saying it was a duplicate.
Then about a week later, there was a another hurricane fund going around.
What's also weird is that i have my ads set to only TEXT, but sometimes the image ones still show up.
I found something in adsense talking about adding some THEME TARGETING CODE. You can actually put the code around a paragraph in your page and it will tell adsense that you want ads to focus around the words in that paragraph.
I haven't done it b/c my site works fine, but I thought I would share.
Maybe you already know. :)

I think it is public ad (PSA).

The HTML tags to emphasize a page section take the following format:
<!-- google_ad_section_start -->
<!-- google_ad_section_end -->
You can also designate sections you'd like to have ignored by adding a (weight=ignore) to the starting tag:
<!-- google_ad_section_start(weight=ignore) -->
With these tags added to your HTML code, your final code may look like the following:
<html><head><title>Page title here</title></head>
<body>
<!-- google_ad_section_start -->
This is the text of your web page. Most of your content resides here.
<!-- google_ad_section_end -->
</body>
</html>

An ad for a charitable organization will still say "Ads by Gooooooogle" (or "Ads by Google") in the frame of the Adsense ad box. These are paying ads. There's no reason you couldn't filter these. I believe I have a few in my list.
What we call here PSAs will say "Public Service Ads By Google" within the ad box. I don't believe you can filter these. You can, however, specify "Alternate Ads" to show instead of these PSAs when they occur.
What we did do with the alternate ads though, we added a url to an empty page with a stat counter. Now we know how many PSA's we get every day.
