wrong ads

Wrong ads showing up on site.

The site is a free service for logging in safe for kayloggers. I have little content on the site, only faqs. Almost all ads are about script and keyloggers("download your free keylogger here!"), which is not what I want on a site against keylogging.

There does not seem to be an option in adsense to make the bot not look at the content and just generate random ads, which would be a good option for me.

How do I get more general ads (and not about keyloggers)?

You may try Referral ads from Google adsense.

you want random general ads? so you want to show ads just for the sake of showing ads?

remember: people click on adsense ads because they are targeted to the topic. now if you show random general ads then no one will click on it anyhow. your ctr will be abysmal. so you do best by not showing any ads at all on this page. only show ads where they perform! don't get on your visitors' nerves by showing ads no one clicks on!

Maybe you could take a different approach in your description of the product. You could describe it as security software, rather than anti-keylogging software. Any mention of keylogging could be placed outside of the section targeting, or possibly display that word as an image rather than text.

I have the same problem on some of my pages, ads that are right on-topic but antagonistic to my content and may offend my readers. I wish that Adsense would give publishers a negative keyword tool, as I don't see how negative keywords could be abused like positive keywords might be.

Best 'wrong' ad I've seen today:

Ads by Google

Luxury Cruise to Mars
Visit the Red Planet in Style Low-gravity fun for everyone
www.example.com

Liver Detox Revolution
20 Cent Life Saver Can Help Relieve Effects Of Alcohol, Drugs and More!
Tr#*$!#*$!h.com

Nasa Ringtones
Send Complimentary Ringtones to your cell.
Be#*$!#*$!xs4U.com

There is almost always problems with the ads so don't sweat it. I intentionally x'd out the bottom 2 urls. The top one is the real deal though!

Well that Luxury Cruise to Mars is an AdWords sample ad so if it's showing up on your website, that's definitely a problem:
