I have sent this question to google but no answer yet, thought I would just see if anybody knew here.

We installed adsence on our site but had to remove it as all the ads served with US based ones. It picked up on the content of each page beautifully but delivered only US adverts to a European audience.

Our audience is 95% european, so the clicks thrus will be appaling.

Is adsence predominantly a US based gig then really?

I do get country specific ads, but my sites are not in English. See if there are advertisers from your country by searching your local google for your keywords and check out the ads in the search results.

If you browse your site from an US IP you'll see US ads, if you browse from UK IP you'll see UK ads (mybe with some US ads).
If you browse from Italian IP an english language site, you'll se some Italian ads and some US ads.

Yes, US ads are predominant, but the most important is the IP.

absolutely right, the ads served depend on the user's location. not the website.

g will allow you to have modified adsense code, only if majority of your site is eng..then..they will modified your code to show Ads By Google..and not something else ( in other language )

guess..you can't do much now..

Isn't that just because your the one living in the USA. As for what I know the ads you see depend on the #*$!ry you live in. When I first saw the ads that came up from my gaming site, I was shocked to see only 2 . I could not believe that theres only two advertisers that want their ads on gaming sites. But I was then relieved to find that those were in fact the ads that me and other visitros from my own country see.
When I installed the GoogleAd Preview Tool and choose the USA, I was pleased to see tens of ads that are able to be seen from visitors from that country.

BTW can some1 remind me what was the ad limit on a site, as I recall it was something like 3banner type and 1link type but im not sure

No I am based in the UK that is what I mean but all the ads served are US based.

I look at the headlines in the ads, then go type the same thing into google.co.uk and plenty of UK/Europe adwords ads appear so I don't understand why it's displaying US only ones on our site.

If the US advertiser specifically chooses to display US ads in the UK you'd see them. Otherwise it's an Adsense glitch that should go away in a day or two. If it doesn't... email support again.

MadMax, there's an "o" in "country" ;)

Have you tried using the AdSense preview tool? You can select a preview per country with that.

You can find the tool here: [google.com...]

This sounds very strange.
Around 95% of my AdSense income are German ads.

Your visitors may see different ads. Let Adsense manage the ads; you manage the content.
