I wrote adsense support for help for the problem stated below...

"The problem with my adsense account is that I am getting very irrelevant ads on few pages. There are no ads related to the topic used in few pages of my websites. It seems that the subject determination of google is not working well for me."

They replied me with the fixed version of email plus a very new thing, what is your comment on it...

"- I just updated my page - why haven't the ads changed?

When you update a page, it may take up to 2 weeks for our crawler to revisit your site and take your changes into account. Until your page is recrawled, we may display less relevant or non-paying public service ads."

That's not really news here--I've seen others post that it can be some time before a site is recrawled.....

That's Google's generic response to your type of question.

Actually, it's the same verbiage used to describe what happens if you make any changes to your Adsense settings/code.

For example, look up: "section targeting" and read their suggestion on what to look for once you've added the section targeting code to your site.

Yes. The home page of one of my sites that is updated several times a day is currently off track and relegated to alternate ads until mediapartners bot comes back. My fault, I missed seeing the keyword I should have avoided. I removed it quickly, but of course, that doesn't help. Last time this happened it took weeks to clear itself.

I wish there was some way to manually tell G that a page needs a revisit. While I usually regard their tech support helpful and efficient, an email to them on this yields a canned response that there's nothing they can do to alter or expedite how the system automatically assesses your keywords.

I've heard it claimed that if you use the Adesne Preview tool on the page after making changes, it forces a quicker revisit, but my personal tests with it are inconclusive. Might also try setting up Google sitemaps.

Mike: I've tried everything suggested here, those included, and removing ads, adding new ads. Nothing seems to speed up the process for me.

fredw, I did something similar to you and ads disappeared from the homepage of one of my sites.

No matter what I tried, they stubbornly refused to come back for about two weeks. It didn't seem to matter that Mediabot had visited the page in the interim, either.

The ads disappeared as soon as Googlebot cached a version of the page WITH the stop-word, and the ads didn't come back until Googlebot had cached a new version of the page which didn't have the stop-word on it.

They'll come back eventually ;)

not exactly something you can control on the fly when you need quick help...
