Default Adsense Question

Hi,

I've just added adsense to my martial arts club's site - we update it frequently with techniques and videos so a lot of people check it.

The thing is all the ads seem to be for Halo rather than martial arts/self defence/fitness related ads?

Can anyone offer a reason why this is so? I've just added the adsense today if it makes any difference?

Thanks,
Colm

Adsense usually takes a couple days to start getting relevant ads on your site. I'm not sure why they are Halo-related, but give it a day or two and things should improve.

It's because Halo rules.



It just takes time. It's just huge in the news right now. Someone has associated Halo geeks with hand to hand combat techniques.

It does take time. Still it's been 3 weeks for me and mine are still crappy. I swithced a bunch to adsense referral, nobody likes those either, lol, I'm going to have to dig ditches for a living. Sometimes it has to do with the headings, and key words you use in content, I haven't figured it all out yet.

When I changed my Worpdress theme on my site from Prosense to Grid Focus the AdSense ads on my site got completely screwed up and started showing ads for caribbean dating sites. It took about a week before it fixed itself and started showing relevant ads.

Give it time, and consider using the section targetting code.

<!-- google_ad_section_end -->

Even weeks later, the AdSense ads may still be "wrong" if those are performing better than the "right" ones on your site.
