Let's say that you have an ad that earns a publisher $200.00 but takes 50,000 impressions to earn the $200.00.

Bad Ads

On an occasion you'll notice that your AdSense Ads are so unrelated to your content that they stick out like a sore thumb.

Google is constantly analyzing the sites that it archives, so don't panic if this a new site it's likely that Google has not had a chance to spider the content to find relevant ads for your site.

Wait roughly two weeks before being concerned about the types of ad placed by Google AdSense.

If it really concerns you can limit the ads and configure the ads differently. For the most part the ads will come in line with your site in a few weeks.

Check the content of your website and very the quantity of keywords and their placement on your side. Keywords which you want the Google spider to pick up on should be in heading tag at the top of each content section. Don't flood these areas with false keywords the spider will recognize.

Write your content in a user friendly way that helps the user easily see the subject of the post or article. if it is not obvious to the reader the spider will not understand it either.
