I have several sites and on EVERY one of them when you enter the domain name without the www the Google ads are totally irrelevant to the content of the page. Any ideas why and what to do to prevent this?

I don't see that at all.

I have seen this before as well. The domain.com ads are different than the www.domian.com ads. They both seem to be relevant they are just different. I am not sure why or which ones pay better. It would be interesting to know.

well to give more details, my web site is Christian oriented. The ads are usually for Bible studies, Bible software, Christian conferences, etc. But when I enter domain.com without the www the ads are for work at home type stuff. Not even close to what they usually are.

domain.com is often not frequented as often as www.domain.com, so perhaps ads are not updated as frequently. Page rank is also often different, so if PR is a factor in ads shown and pricing, then domain.com may be suffering. Perhaps forward all domain.com to www.domain.com if you have such problems? W.

I've noticed that forwarding from "domain.com to www.domain.com" or "subdomain.domain.com to www.domain.com" or "anotherdomain.com to domain.com" etc. all show entirely different ads also. The same exact content on different domains displays different ads as well. Plain old www.domain.com seems to have the highest paying, highest ctr and most relevant ads.
