unrelated ads in ***.com, related ads in ***.com/index.php

Hi.
I get unrelated ads in asite.com and related ads in asite.com/index.php.

How come there can be a difference in this ?

 

I think if you make sure your link to your home page is www.yourdomain.com and not www.yourdomain.com/index.php, and wait a few hours, this should help.

Sometimes that is the problem, because adsense considers the content on pages linked to the page as well as the content on the page itself.

 

Thanks a lot for the advice, trying now.

I never heard about that before, shure about that ?

 

akamai is correct. If most of the visits are to /index.php, then Googlebot has already analyzed that page and knows more accurately what to show on there. Then you start hitting / and Googlebot needs to reanalyze the page since it doesn't know that / and /index.php are the exact same page. So if you keep hitting / and wait a while, you'll start seeing the same ads as on index.php. Simple.

 

Thanks, this is strange, but there must be something more about this. Its still showing the unrelated ads after two days and some hundred visits.
Should I redirect / to /index.php ? I would have to do that in .htaccess, how do I do that ? In that case I would like to redirect with a 301.
And can I do that when I already use

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^*****\.com
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.*****.com/$1 [R=permanent,L]

 

That's a normal problem, visitors via reffers will never see unrelated ads, but when a visitor enter your site direcly www.site.com they will see unrelated and sometimes public ads .

Just put this in your .htaccess file

Redirect / http://site.com/index.php

this will redirect from site.com/ to site.com/index.php

 

Thanks wissam. Will that be like a 301 redirect ? dont want 302 and trouble with Google. Damn, I cant still give you more rep.

 

Here is tutorial if you want to make sure :

Don't worry for reps, I will give you one because you can't give me one

 

Oops, it didnt work, look like it got send into some kind of loop, I got:

http://www.*****.com/index.phpindex...index.phpindex.phpindex.phpindex.phpindex.php

 

It loops cuz it is the same page. You can't do that. All you need to do is make sure are your "home" links on your website pages go to www.site.com instead of site.com/index.php and just wait a bit. Just be patient and site.com will start displaying relevant ads.

 

Oppps ...
sorry a bug

redirect permanent / http://www.site.com/index.php

HTML:

Or use this tools

I guess I am not patient enough. Yes this sounds reasonable, why I think its strange is that I have never waited 24 hours to get the right ads showing, normally they come very quick. So I thought it is something with the structure of my site.
By the way, its the last site in my sig.

 

So I waited for 4 days and adsense are still unrelated, this is not normal and it is the first site I experienced this on, there must be something else to do than just waiting.

 

I just forgot to tell you that there is a redirection tool in Cpanel that will auto generate an .htaccess file in your root and sure it's a 301 redirect .

 

Thanks Wissam. The trouble I have now is that when I redirect / to /index.php it get into a loop. Thats is because it is the same address right ?

 

no it is because you redirect / to /index.php try to redirect / to index.php without the "/" and tel me what happen .

 

redirect permanent / index.php
in .htaccess

gives me 500 Internal Server Error
