Very weird, my ads have turned polish!

I put my usual google ads on a new page and they are in polish lanugage.
I had refreshed many times, added the usual appropriate keywords, and they are still coming up in the polish language.
Ads on my other sites are the same as usual, its just on this one site/page.

Anyone heard of this?

 

maybe your links comes from polish sities?

 

Ads are normally directly related to the content of your site or the location. So if you have any of these two you should not complain.

BTW google decided which ads to appear on your site and it is not subjected to a particular language.

 

No links from polish sites.

Ok, I just tried renaming the page and the ads are now english.
Could google be sensitive to the file name of the page?

The previous name was shindex.html
Maybe it means something in polish!!!

 

Probably also that there are too many Polish users (not necessarily from Poland but could be from other parts of the globe too) have been visiting your website. Also check for any phrases in the content for any possible relationship with a polish word. I had a similar case with Japanese ads for a page on american dishes!!

 

May have been a minor glitch that worked itself out. Hard to say. At least you have english ads now.

 

Yes, google is sensitive to the file names.

travel.php and travel_spain.php will deliver completely different ads. One with targeted Spain related stuffs and the other with general travel related stuffs. I guess 90% is directly related to the content.

 

I can only think that it was the file name, as there was no polish content, no polish links, and no sign on the forum of polish users.

 

My ads sometimes turn Japanese. Seriously.

Try running Google Adsense preview tool on the page. It will show you the ads that are supposed to appear in the US. I found that the ads appearing on a page are more relevant after I run the preview tool. I think it forces some kind of a cache refresh.

 

It could have also been geotargeting gone haywire for your IP. Did the AdSense preview tool show Polish ads? Be sure to set the preview tool for US to check.

 

In polish there is no meaning for "shindex" . In my opinion google bot is not perfect.

 

I guess it could have been hungarian or similar *shrug*

 

Ok, I just checked, the language was lativan.
I still dont know what shindex means in latvian though, heh.

 

Just for the record: it's Polish not polish.

 

Shindex doesn't even remotely resamble any word in Polish. If anything I'd say it was close to shingles which is in english. It's probably just a glitch, yep even google gets them.

 

ispza, I checked, its actually latvian.

Domainmaster, offended by a lower case letter?

 

polish is a verb, Polish is the adjective describing nationality.
