Adsense relevancy and URL

[cyclic]

This was has got me stumped but their probably is a logical explanation that I can't find.

I have a page that refuses to give the right adsense relevancy despite doing all the correct SEO techniques. However, if I look at the page without the "www." I get the right ads. This is only happening on one page.

Anybody....please?

Ask google, they are the only who understand the targetting.

I've found I had trouble with getting all PSAs on pages with a certain name, turned out Google disliked the URL due to former owners of the domain having bad content on it, as soon as they cleared that block all went fine.

I had the same exact problem. The problem was on my homepage, all other pages were correct. I tried section targeting and removing anything that even resembled the wrong keyword that it was maybe picking up on. It remained the same. Good ads on site.com and bad ads on www.site.com . For me the problem only affected the index page. All other pages were fine. I finally ended up moving the site to a different server in a different location and all was back to normal. I'm still not sure what caused the ads to display like that, it wasn't because of site targeting as with the new reports, you can tell.

go into webmaster tools and select your prefered domain. set it to www

Then use mod re-write in .htaccess and 301 non www to www

This will acoplish what you want and give you the added bonus of removing any dup content problems.

etd: uhm... in your case then, do this the other way around. Point the www to the non www
