    I dont know how they determine relevant content, but it isnt working as far as im concerned.

    Here are 2 pages I just made:

    Satellite Radio FAQ

    Satellite Radio in Your Car

    The second one pulled related content from Adsense right away - the first one didnt. I altered the first one several times - yet the ads still seem to come from my main site, not this page. Both pages have similar KW density. I just dont get it!

    This isnt the only occurrance. Look at these 2 pages

    Save on Auto Insurance

    Auto Insurance Basics

    Similar deal, except the first page pulls nothing but PSA's --

    Can anyone offer advice? Im pulling my hair out here.

    Google assigns generalized categories to sites so it is able to serve up ads before it actually knows what the content is. My guess is wait a little while until Google spiders the new stuff and starts serving ads for that page, rather than the site.

    Well if you think it's serving wrong ads, email Google.

    I try to avoid that -

    The last time I did that, (about the auto insurance) they solved nothing - but found time to search other pages and let me know about 2 simple tos violations I needed to fix on other pages.

    I already experienced the same case on one of my site. On other pages adsense serves relevant ads but on others it dont. I guess there are two factor for this, first: google bot needs to crawl your page to server relevant ads and second is they may be out if inventory.

    BTW, I see satellite radio ads on both pages. Maybe the problem is already solved.

    Why don't you just log into your adsence account and put the ads you don't want in your URL filter?

    BTW, I just noticed you have some text that says "LincolnvsCadillac.com" very close to the adsence banner, that could be causing it to target lincoln ads, you should get rid of that, or put it far way from the banner.

    I found this same problem with duplicats ads on two very unique pages. There are a few ways that i was seeing this, one google must decipher your page and auto related is just that, auto related. When ads are presented they are delivered sometimes in rotation so google gest money from all their advertisers and google also will present higher paying vs higher CTR ads as much as possible. Hope this updates you on some of their methods today.
