Really Off Topic Adsense Results

[suzyvirtual]

I put up a page today about say "blue widgets". When I search on google.com for "blue widgets" ALOT of adwords ads come up for the subject. Though I realise they theoretically could all have opted out of the content network, there are enough ads that it is doubtful.
So, anyway, the adsense ads that are showing up on my "blue widgets" page are soooo off topic with my content. They are all about the same subject unrelated to my "blue widgets".
Anyway, adsense has always been great about detecting and matching my content previously, although I don't have a tremendous amount of experience with adsense.
So...will they get better by temselves over time? or what can i do if not?

Suzy,
Although it many be for a few different reasons, I think many run into that problem from time to time.

From my experience I've seen accurate adsense results resolve instantly when I place just a few keyphases on a table free design. Then I've seen accurate results take a few hours to resolve with the same table free design. (html-body-keyword-[adsense]/body-/html)

I have also seen inaccurate results stemming from the fact that many of my sites are on a virtual server. In this case I've had to wait days sometimes a week before accurate results would display on AS.

IMHO I think if you continue to develop your page and wait you should be just fine. When I say delevop I of couse mean with the proper keywords.

One last thing ... if you are having problems with virtually hosted sites resolving proper results for a domains root directory. You might want to see if the results are different with or without the 'www'.
In which .htaccess could possibly help

Send an email to Adsense through their contact us form, with the URL where you are getting mistargeted ads. I've done that several times and they were quick to get back to me and get it fixed.

I would be that the bot hasn't been to your page yet to figure out what the page is about. Therefore, Adsense is guess-timating. Give it some more time and it will be back.

You can also load your page--and if you don't find relevant ads then click on the "ads by google" link and give the system feedback about the ads that are showing.

eBay certainly has some peculiar items these days - at least according to its affiliates. "Heaven Hell - Heaven Hell for sale. aff Check out the deals now!"

Would that ad truly match *anything*?
