Today was going to be a good day for me. Another large company was quoting me and my site in their latest campaign.

But alas, for some unknown reason I am being PSA'ed this evening.

Anyone else?

Do others see PSAs? Try checking with the preview tool to see if you get ads or get the no ads available warning.

Preview tool shows no ads.

I took a look at the cached copy of my site and it has the word terrorist on it (but no longer).

Think this is it?

I would strongly suggest that you have alternate ads for your adsense in case something like this happens again.

It is the only way you can protect yourself from this in the future.

Trying forcing your site to use either www. or without the www to change the ads.

I've noticed at least one of my sites that was getting psa's so I forced it to resolve without using the www. prefix and the psa's went away.

If you are using apache this is easy, I don't know about microsoft.

It definitely could be a stop word issue. You can change your ad unit size to try and trigger a fresh mediabot visit, to reindex your page. A reindex is needed in order to solve PSA issues caused by stop words.

Thanks for all the help everyone. I did as suggested and slightly changed my ads in order to cause a re-indexing. Seems to work on my top ad, the second is empty now (I won't worry about that).
