    My blog shows appropriate Google Adsense ads for my topic on all pages except the home page. I have a static homepage set. Up until a few days ago those ads were appropriate too. Strange thing is if I go into admin and click on Preview for the home page it shows the right ads.

    What is different between Preview and the real home page view that would cause Adsense to show correctly on one but not the other?

    Yes, I am experiencing the same behavior with a new site I just set up. It actually starts off working and then slowly the ads stop displaying. I have many other sites with the same theme and adsense code that work perfectly. This site has only one extra plubin but my other sites have it too. I have no idea why this is happening and what can be done to correct it.

    I am not sure if this will help but here is my site:

    Thanks for any help.

    I have had the same problem with ad targeting on the first/homepage only. The only way I was able to fix it was with a redirect.

    When Google’s mediabot first spiders your site it interpits/classifies your site. Sometimes people will overlook something and Google gets the classification wrong. For me I used a funny wordpress “tagline”, which has high relevence with relation to the content of your site. That caused me my google grief.

    According the “powers that be” Google should every so often interpit/re-classify your site and/or pages within your site. I’m still waiting for this to happen months later….

    Anyway a redirect will appear as a different URL and a new classified should take place for that page. This is how I implemented the work-around: http://bytearray.brixtonjunkies.com/2009/08/20/wordpress-adsense-ad-targeting-redirect/
