Anyone have any clue as to why Janitorial ads are showing up at www.hostsearch.biz ? I know it looks like crap but janitorial?

Wierd, I see no content that would suggest this. Was your initial adsence application approved on a Janitorial site? lol

When did you put the code on www.hostsearch.biz/ ?

Spoke to soon.... grrrr

Google Adsense seems to pick some weird ads sometimes.

For example, I have a page that is basically talking about casinos and gambling. I then included the word "joke" once and I get joke ads on these 2 pages about online gambling.

I could sort of see why google might have given you janitor ads.

You have "Chemical Plant" and service.

But you have Hosting repeated so many times, dont see how it is not hosting related. I dont even really mention hosting on my site and I get way to many hosting ads.

Argh the confusion... lol

I've noticed that as well. Especially when trying to target "Web Hosting." If I had "web hosting" at 20% density and only mentioned the word "domain" one time on the entire page, I would get "domain registration" ads instead of "web hosting" ads. Argh.

Tip: If it's critical to say something that Google is messing up on, say it in an image.
