Hi
I just noticed my adsene site is not getting the correct adverts delivered.
They are not relevant.
How can I make Google deliver correct ads?
They had previously been on topic.
Meta keywords, title and description in my blog all contain the relevant keyword.
Thanks
Art

Art, what I'm about to say might come across a tad harsh, but please understand I'm not trying to single you out here, but before we even get to any ideas on why those ads don't seem to be showing properly for you, I simply have to point something out:
The website in your profile is: http://www.websites-uk.com
Naturally, I went there to see if I could see the problem you were asking about.
You are obviously talking about a different website, which is not any issue by any means, but then I noticed it...
You clearly sell services to businesses in a local area. Fair enough. But, do you think it's problematic that the website in your profile shows a serious lack of basic optimization?
Meta Titles used across this site:
<title>search engine marketing nottingham, notts, nottinghamshire,optimisation</title>
<title>search engine marketing nottingham, notts, nottinghamshire,derby,derbyshire</title>
<title>Untitled Document</title>
Quickly, I count 8 pages, and those metas appear on them - so what is being used it duplicated.
Also, the link to your privacy policy goes to a page about the importance of link building...this does not inspire confidence.
So, after seeing these basic things missing on this website, I went to a couple of the client sites you have listed.
Here's two from the short-list:
http://www.lajolieronde.co.uk/ - while a couple of the meta titles aren't what I would choose to run with, meh, that's a small-ish thing. I figured I'd check a basic item, which matters less these days, but still warrants a look-see IMO. What I check is to see where the non-www version of a domain resolves.
Really, it should resolve to the www version automatically.
In this case, it shows a page saying the site is under construction. This is not doing your client any favors, I'm sorry to say, as any link posted to the site without the www will have no value to the active site.
Next I looked up http://www.nurseryplay.co.uk/. Hmmm, in Google, the title line shows as "Index of..." - clicking the link doesn't show a website, but an index list of the files on the server. ...and what do I see in the list of gear on this server?
SEOElite - seo software - hmmm.
So, before I take a stab at answering you question about the Adsense ads Art, can you explain this "optimization work" that I can only assume you charged clients for?
I have to be honest Art, I'm concerned that you are charging clients and not delivering solid work for them. Please tell me I'm wrong.
I have a huge issue with folks taking advantage of clients and using software to "optimize" a client's website - a website the client is depend on to generate business. My real issue boils down to clients paying for services they think will help, only to get sub-standard work that does little to help them at all - and worse, they'll never really know...
I'll happily share what I know with anyone who asks - unless I know they are taking money for work they shouldn't be doing.
...and while I expect you'll be upset by this post Art, please remember, you asked the original question, the site is listed in your profile, it's not properly optimized and there are some pro SEOs floating around in here that would notice...
