Direct hit - real ad

just domain - psa

[keen]

Hey there, I'm new in here, great forum as far as I've seen it ;)

I've got the problem that when I access my page via the domain, I always see psa's, but when I access the index.shtml directly, I get real ads.

I've heard on another forum that the problem is widespread but I was unable to find any solutions or info about it.

Do you know anything about this problem?

First, welcome to WW and the Adsense forum. This is a great place to get good info.

I haven't seen that problem mentioned here, maybe I missed it.

But I'm not real sure what you mean, are you talking about...

www.yourdomain.com

versus

www.yourdomain.com/index.shtml

exactly.

hmmmm... that's interesting. Just off the cuff I wonder, when you do a search that brings up your home page does the url show as www.yourdomain.com or as www.yourdomain.com/index shtml?

I'm wondering if Google sees the two as different pages for some reason? I don't even know if that's possible, but maybe it is.

Still it should see the same content, I'd think.

that happens to sometimes also, i really dont know the reason but it doesn't happen often. I just changed the url's name and it comes up with ads..

Is it possible to change the name of the start page for your domain from index.shtml to default.shtml? I had the same problem with a page called index.htm

for some strange reason, it's all normal now, both versions work. It was maybe a google-indexing problem or something.

I have the same with mydomain.com and www.mydomain.com. Probably because all the links point wo www.... and so Google can't find the url without www.

I would suggest to let some (or all) internal links in the menu point to yourdomain.com/index.html, maybe this helps.
