It would be helpful if you linked to your site so we could see. If you have images, use alt tags.
1daniel – nothing needs to be edited, you need to be patient. you need to create content, and wait for google to acknowledge it. this will always happen on a new installation until you’ve got the content up and google gets a chance to spider it for the ads.
just be patient!
Hello All
Thanks for the replies. The url to the new blog is:
http://www.floydlandis.info
Relevant ads appear if you type the url in with the index page http://www.floydlandis.info/index.php however just
navigating to the domain without the index extension i am
still showing blogging ads. Do i still need to wait??
My first shot at a blog..
Yes.
You need to be patient.
Period.
You can’t force anything, you can’t change anything.
Check it tomorrow – I promise it will be different.
AdSense goes with the most relevent it can find now and without sending out the crawler, it only knows your site is a blog. That’s why it’s posting blog related ads.
I do this every single day of my life – trust me. Just be patient.
Ok, i will check it out tomorrow – Thanks
Hi ladydelaluna
I am still showing irrevelant ads on the index page? Google bot has already visitied the site. The ads are
fine when using index.php in the url. How can i redirect the theme to call http://www.floydlandis.info/index.php
Thanks
Hi, I had that problem before also, but if you look through the FAQ in google adsense they tell you this:
Place this code where your relevant text begins:
<!– google_ad_section_start –>
maybe place it in your header right before your post entries
Place this code where your relevant text ends:
<!– google_ad_section_end –>
maybe place it right before where your sidebars begin.
It was probably picking up text from your sidebars or something (meta, rss, xhtml).
wait another day and see if that helps!

I would agree with you however if you naviagate to the url using index.php you will see how the ads are relevant. See the two links below:
http://www.floydlandis.info
http://www.floydlandis.info/index.php
The one using the index.php extension shows relevant ads..
Not sure what is happening but my fix would be to redirect to the index.php page. I am not sure how to do that?
It’s automatically calling in the index.php page – those two links you’re giving call in the index.php page…
Again, patience is your biggest virtue here… a day or two (or even a week) is NOT going to make that much of a difference in your adsense income, being that this is a brand new site.
You need to focus on everything ELSE – creating new content, getting visitors (without visitors, it doesn’t matter, because no one will be clicking your ads!), and so on.
As I mentioned, I do this for a living, every day of my life. I have no reason to lie to you here – you can’t redirect index.php to index.php – and by being so obsessed over this, you’re working yourself into a tizzy over NOTHING.
Give it a few more days, see what happens. You need to understand that you can’t FORCE it to show what you want it to – what hungrychicken said CAN help – but there’s nothing you can do to force google to update properly when reading your site. And the google bot you see is probably the one for the search engine – not for adsense.
Just please – relax. Be patient. I assure you that within a few days it will work the way you want. Sometimes it takes a few hours, sometimes a day, sometimes a week. But nothing you can do will make it work any faster.
ladydelaluna – Still not showing the ads properly, its been a week.. Any suggestions?
Strange…
You appear to have something that’s preventing the google adsense bot from seeing your site’s content.
What you need to understand is that regardless of the “index.php” at the end, browsers display the same page… index.php. So this might not even be a problem with google as it might be with the theme you’re using, or potentially some plugin.
I would try hungrychicken’s suggestion – it’s something that google suggests to do when your site isn’t pulling relevant ads.
Try editing your Header File and adding the Meta Keywords Tag
Sorry to bump an old thread, but was there any resolution to this problem?
I’ve done everything above and I’m having the EXACT same problem. 1danielj did you ever get relevant adds without doing /index.php?
