Why am I only getting public ads?

Hmm.. I get public ads in my blog: http://jedha.blogspot.com/ despite having lots of text.. But one thing thats even weirder is that I get normal ads in my blog archive.. hows that??

I'm not seeing any PSA ads on your site, regular ads about "mens beards".

Good luck with your site,

It seems to me it's just related to last hurricane. Google pushes more those ads to help them...
I see these ads on many web sites last days and I'm sure there were no public ads before (and no content changes...).

I am having this problem, too. I am getting Hurricane public service ads and then when I refresh once or twice, I get regular ads.

Maybe there aren't enough ads in the Google inventory for your web page topic. Or... maybe they haven't spidered the web page yet.

Latehorn -- there's f#*k on your page at least 4 times... could be the problem.

Yes, I saw the PSAs. I tried to reload your page. PSAs still appear.

My best guess would be: there are way too much scripts in your source-code. When I look at it, I can't determine what the codes were for. Maybe you can look at it.

Latehorn,

The word 'blog' is everywhere in your source code. It's mentioned numerous times in the source code, the head, it's all over the top of your pages before any content... you even mention in the visible header that your blog is "The best blog in universe".

That's one of the reasons you're getting blog related ads on your sub-pages.

As for the PSA's, the content on your main page is all over the place in terms of subject matter. There's no theme to what you're writing about so MediaBot can't make heads-or-tails of which ads to show.

I would suggest pulling the ads out of your template for now, writing more on a single topic to give your main page some sort of general theme, using words and phrases related to that theme in your blogs title, description, post titles, etc. then in a week or two put the ads back in the template. MediaBot will recrawl your site and hopefully be able to better determine which ads to serve.
