Adsense Ads Not Relevant To My Site

[Philippine Beach Resorts]

ad targetting on one of my sites is off.

from here in the philippines, i think im seeing ads in french or german and im pretty sure theyre not about dating and my site is in english.

i was wondering if you can tell me what kind of adsense ads are showing on my pages from where you are located. maybe its just me. thanks!

thanks guys.

"I get english and/or  dutch ads about hosting"

so thats what they are, dutch ads about hosting. i wonder why im getting those. my content there is not diverse and confusing to their crawler.

Adsense is showing ads regarding :

1) The content
2) Your accept language
3) the content of the page that you are coming from (referer)

and section targeting doesnt work sometimes.

Section targeting is just a "hint" for the adsense bot.

That doesn't mean that the bot will follow the hint, but in most cases helps.

anyway, i emailed them already about my problem.

my problem is fixed. the people from Adsense replied fast. they told me to add a robots.txt file for this:

User-agent: Mediapartners-Google*
Disallow:

and the ads now are relevant. i think i will add this text file into all my sites.

This is part of their email:

ist better to have a good robots.txt

maybe you can ask here at the forum to at it (open a new thread)

You could use a robots.txt like this :

Code:

User-agent: *
Disallow:

This will allow every bot to crawl your whole site

my concern is just relevance of the Adsense ads. this robots.txt file is all i need:

User-agent: Mediapartners-Google*
Disallow:
