PSA's are driving me INSANE!!!!!!!!!

    I thought I was patient, and got rid of the PSA issues in my Adsense, but it's back!

    When you click on some of the titles of my blog entries, especially from Feb 2 and on, you get PSA's, like this: parenting advice

    I know it takes a day or two for google to scan the content and provide contextually relevant ads (which is another problem, for another day:) ), but two weeks???

    Why am I still seeing PSA's on my recent entry's pages? Do I have to blog more often for the googlebot to visit me more often??

    Thanks!:D

    I had PSA's on one of my sites for an hour or so today as well, but they seem to have gone away now. Just one of the fun quirks of Adsense I suppose.

    you should create an alternate page to load when google does not find the ads in the inventory to show. I use my second highest paying ad program to fill the psa spots. Actually at the end of the month equals about 8-10% of AdSense's revenue, so why PSA?

    Hope this helps

    For Adsense normal ads (commercial, and not PSA), it's not the Googlebot you should be interested in, but the Mediapartners bot (Adsense Bot).

    Just get more links to your website, for the Mediapartners bot to crawl.

    As a general ideea, Mediapartners bot DOES visit pages, even if they do not have Adsense on them :)

    Thanks, all!

    Yeah, I refreshed, and now it's showing ads!

    fgs- how do you know when the PSA's are showing? Interesting idea!!

    How many links do I need? I have over 20 to the home page, do I need links to each individual post? Yikes! A friend is going to give me a pr5 link free, which I'll put up as soon as the site is ready to be launched- soon!

    Side point- this is obviously a parenting site- what can I do to have the ads targeted better? this page on parenting tips is showing bank ads! I understand why the googlebot thinks they should go there, but is there any way I can tip off the googlebot to bring more relevant ads??

    They are indeed trying to be more efficient.

    And as for the bank ad example, i really don't know if you could make the ads appear with only what you want.

    Once you include certain keywords, the Mediapartners bot will scan it and deliver relevant ads :)

    Your website is showing regular google adsense ads to me. I don't see any PSAs.

    But when I visited your home page, I seem to get some error saying..
