So, on one of my sites, bigbackgrounds.com (http://www.bigbackgrounds.com/), I'm sort of not getting targeted ads. I guess I should say, I'm not getting the ads I want. My ads are typically for wallpapers and dual monitor stuff. However, I would like to be recieving ads that are more targeted towards the titles of the images, which the Media Bot seems to be completely ignoring. The titles of the images are in text, on the pages, in h2 and anchor tags and are also in the filenames for the images and in their alt tags, all for the bot to pickup on. The ads just aren't coming through.

I have two possible explanations:
My pages are dynamic PHP pages... But according to this FAQ page (https://www.google.com/support/adsense/bin/answer.py?answer=20763&topic=8437), I didn't think it should matter.
It could be that I'm just not using my meta tags effectively (does Google even look at those?).
It could be that the Google bot hasn't index my pages very well yet do to me posting a crappy sitemap, which has since been corrected (but Google hasn't crawled my pages since I posted the new one). But I thought the Media bot was totally different.Beyond that, I have no clue. Any other ideas? Or am I spot on? If so, what needs to change?

Yes, after some digging I found that and implemented it across the entire site. Says it takes up to 2 weeks to work though... :whistle: So I guess I'll just have to wait and see.

Everytime I think I've seen everything in the AdSense Help Center, I find a whole new tree of menus and sub menus. I finally figured out how to view the entire FAQ in one lone 74 page file (https://www.google.com/support/adsense?fulldump=1)... Even though the link is on every page of the help center. :sure: Thanks for helping though. :D

If this all sounds rudimentary to you all, I should mention I'm still pretty new to AdSense.
