Adsense on homepage seems to be related to another site.

Hello, I run multiple wordpress blogs (www.blogexample1.com and www.blogexample2.com with about 3 pages of content per blog) hosted at one server. I am using addon domains in cpanel so they should function as complete unique/independant sites. On these blogs I am using adsense and so far it works well.

But I have one weird problem: the ads displayed at the homepage of www.blogexample2.com seem to be related to the content of www.blogexample1.com. But I am not using that content and blogexample2 is even in another language and completely different. The other pages of www.blogexample2.com (like www.blogexample2.com/page2 and www.blogexample2.com/page3) display the right ads.
So only page1, the homepage, is giving problems in blogexample2.com. And I have no clue why.

I made also new adsense blocks and channels to test, but that didn't help.

I hope anyone knows the reason and solution of this weird problem.

Are these new blogs? I've seen Google's bots occasionally -- not often, but once in a while -- get confused when returning results from new domains on the same server. To confirm if it's this glitch or not do [site:blogexample1.com] and [site:example2.com] searches to see what's returned. If pages from the other domain show up in either search about the only thing you can do is wait a few days until G gets it all sorted out as it eventually will.

Yes both blogs are new. The first blog is about 2 weeks old and the other one 2 days.

Aha ok, then I think I just wait some time and look what happens. Very weird that only the homepage of blogexample2 has got the problem and the other pages work perfect.

Google tracks you from site to site and serves ads partially based on your browsing history. So if you visit one site they may serve ads related to that content on a later page about something completely different.
