    I get english language ads. I'm in Australia. (Adsense ads are geo-targetted, in case you don't know...)

    The same thing happens on my site, sometimes. I just find out the URL and use the "competitive ad filter" to block the offending ads. I noticed that microsoft.com seemed to like serving German ads. Hrm...

    Exactly, and I got the perfect example. I'm in Ireland, and I see an ad for "SEO Ireland" in that place (in English of course).

    I have seen the ads are geo-target disregard the language you are using in your site, besides when a word or topic suggest a country Adsense is displayed in other languages.

    I saw it in a friend's forum which is written in English but Chinese ads on a discussion about Hong Kong matters :O

    Maybe some ads are only marked as 'asia' and not country specific?

    I see an advert for SEO from an American company here in central New York. I reckon that battra is probably right with the person going for 'Asia' as opposed to 'India'

    I travel a lot from UK to the States and South America. At this time I'm in S.America and see the same non-English ad. If you don't like it, just filter out www. fideli. com
    Cheers

    Do you understand that characters? I mean, are you from the place this language is?

    because if so, the ad is relevant.

    If not, this is a harm bug. Because the ads are supposed to be relevant.

    The ads are geotarget, and depending on the advertiser, he can show it to all people all over the world
