Terrible ads showing up

[dpd1]

I haven't changed the content of my site, but boy, the ads sure have changed. For a month now, half the pages get slammed with the same image ad nonstop... Not in just one block, but both blocks on each page. The pages that don't get that ad have ads that are so irrelevant, it would be a miracle if anybody clicked on one. My daily total has gone down to 1/8th of what it was... Pretty sad.

Have you tried changing to TEXT only ads to see what happens?

I've seen this happen to a number of sites I've been managing. Completely unrelated niches and businesses.

We're agressively exploring new ways of generating revenue. Our ad space is valuable but AdSense is no longer putting quality ads on our sites. The answer to this is to find someone that does.

I haven't changed to 'text only' on the frames where the same image ad keeps coming up, mainly because the image one is at least related to the content. Most of the text ads don't even come close anymore. Although, I noticed they started running a new image ad for <snip>An Industrial Supply Company</snip> today, so that was nice.

Unfortunately an industrial supply has about as much to do with my site as the price of tea in China, but at least that would have been something different... Unfortunately the <snip>An Industrial Supply Company</snip> ad is screwed up and just blank with nothing on it though. So it's basically a big empty white rectangle on all the pages.

I'd love to go somewhere else, but who else is there?
