@Michael – That ad ghosting thing is strange. Even though it doesnt matter since it is in development that is just odd.

Luckily within a day all my ads are back to normal and revenue is back to where it was. Sex offender ads just do not work on an iPhones site:)

Bruce, I’ve had the same experience before and although I could never put my finger exactly on the problem, I did notice that it happened most often during the development phase, where I would stick in my test Adsense ads which I do in order to round out the esthetics, gauge spacing, etc, etc. The point is, the site wasn’t available to Google (no spidering available and blocked by robots, etc) and it was spitting out whatever it could. It happened yesterday actually, a site with a distinct set of keywords was pumping out nothing but police, guns and sex offender ads. Within a day of being live, of course, all this changes and the ads are appropriately served, but strange that this type of ad should appear when nothing else is better to offer.

And on another strange note, I sometimes get ad ghosting, where test banners I use for site “A” might again generate site “A” topic ads, but on test site “B”, which is on a completely different topic. Of course none of this matters since they are in development and there is no clicking, but still curious as to how and why these things happen.
