    My site has been up for over a week, has plenty of content (its a blog). It was showing ads, but is now back to showing only PSA's. I have no idea whats wrong, adsense is working on all my other sites, and shows ads on sites that are newer with less content.

    Is it showing PSAs on the whole site or just a few pages?

    If the main page article subject changes (i.e. if you blog about "corn" one day and "eBay" the next vice blogging in one particular niche), sometimes the MediaBot caches your content and it takes a while to update. This happened to me and I had eBay-related ads for over a week though the site wasn't really about eBay.

    If the ads are PSAs maybe either they couldn't index that page or they had no ad inventory for that page and therefore they are showing PSAs?

    Don't use PSAs as alternative, use "ads from another page " then add a page in your site only to be used as adsesne alternative and add a referral banner in it or something like that "

    it's better than PSAs and profitable somehow

    assassin sounds good enough to be a stop word :)
    You should email Google in this case and ask them about your problem because only they can help you

    Do a Google for "assassin" and you won't find any Adwords ads. My guess is that's the problem as that keyword seems to be all over your title and header tags.

    Have fun. :)

    Well perhaps you should consider trying to incorporate some related yet relevant keywords - like "Xbox360" or "video games" or something else..?

    At least give Adsense a chance of serving you an ad.. :)

    I have this problem with my main site, the problem is most like to do with your content. Keep the topics you blog about to one or two main things and you'll find your ads become more aligned with your content. I mean check out my site:
    www.swollenpickles.com
    in the last week the advertising that has been showing up has gotten stranger and stranger, ranging from stool samples, chinese sculpture, gambling, and alien vs predator toys. But then when you look at my content its not really a suprise.
