    Hello,

    I've been reading up for a while but haven't posted before. I am having an issue with my Adsense. Just recently started running. Here is my problem.

    I have 2 domains running from the same host. For one I have the root directory which is /www/ and for the second domain I have /www/seconddomain. Now here is my problem. Site number 1 is about "topic 1". All ads being shown on that site are relevant. However, on site 2 on the index page the ads that are showing are relevant to site 1. Now the other pages that are on site 2 are showing relevant ads. So to summarize this all...

    Site 1 = www.site1.com (root directory www/): shows relevant ads
    Site 2 = www.site2.com (root directory www/site2/): index page shows relevant ads to SITE 1. All other pages on site 2 show relevant ads to site 2..the topics of these sites are totally unrelated...I am pretty sure adsense is somehow picking up the index page from site 1, not sure how to fix it though. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks.

    OK, this is really puzzling me now...I have created seperate directories for each domain so now there is nothing in my root www folder and yet when I type in http://www.site2.com the ads are still relevant to SITE 1 ONLY on the index page all other pages are fine...when i type in http://site2.com the ads are relevant, everything is fine, what's going on here? :(

    I have exactly the same problem with my website, although my website is only 2 days old. How long has this been going on with you?

    For my 1st site I've had the ads running about 2 weeks now everything has been fine right from when I started running the ads.

    For site 2 the ads have been running for 3 days...someone told me google might not have indexed it but I believe it reads your page everytime it loads and either way my ads are relevant without the www in front of the url and on all the other pages so I don't see that being the issue. I'm clueless, I just contacted google but it'll be days before they get back to me.

    I also think Google has to index your site again as someone said to you. Because I have had this problem before with other sites, after about a week it always displayed the correct ads. So I think you have to be patient, the problem will solve automatically.

    I understand that but then why is it showing relevant ads without the www in my url? In other words if i type

    http://www.myurl.com the ads on the index page are NOT relevant
    http://myurl.com they are relevant

    Guess it needed a couple hours...since I moved everything into seperate folders a couple hours later seems to be working fine www in front or not.
