    Can someone look at my site and tell me why ads for pianos are showing up on my site www.financial-articles.com I appreciate your help in figuring this out... as ads should be finance or investing related but they show up as piano ads.... Thanks in advance.

    Clean up the wordpress <-- tags --//> and stuff in the code. Also probably the main problem is your <title> as it seems in the other sections the ads are relevent, so feed it some more meat then "Financial Articles"

    However, I must admit it's strange - how would the google bot get the idea that your page is in any possible way assocaited with pianos or classical music?? (it shows symphonic orchestra ads to me). There is nothing visible on your page or in the source that suggest that in any way.

    This could be a google-bug. If it goes on like that I think you should contact AdSense support and get them to look at it.

    I have the same problem in my non-English website :(
    It's very bad problem and no matter what content I will put in my page, the ads will remain the same - not relevant.

    Thats not true, the page does have stuff that would trigged those keywords

    for example being:


    Like i said add more meat to the title, that should help.

    The ads showing would be mostly irrelevant, even if the above text was the only or main text of the page. Google operates with many different "categories" of music related ads. I should know ;)
    It may not be a "bug" but in this case I still think it's a weakness of the system.

    I completely agree, and hopefully that - along with adding a meta tag "description" (which AdSense does seem to use) - will fix the problem.

    Very strange indeed.

    What is even more strange is this: The Google ads that are being displayed at the top of this DP forum page that I'm now viewing are the SAME ads (about pianos) that are appearing on your site. What is going on here???????

    Good to hear! I suspected the problem was mainly on their end.
