Irrelevant ads on cloned blog

Just wondering if this will clear up in time, or if there's something I can do to fix it. Really bugging me!

I used WP Twin to clone one of my blogs. On the new blog, I stripped out the old content, made new posts on an entirely different subject, changed all the meta data accordingly, etc.

However ... the home page for the new blog is still showing AdSense ads related to the subject and keywords of the the original blog.

I've combed through everything, all my plug-ins, permalinks, the code for my theme pages, etc., to see if anything in the new blog is still pointing to or referring to the original site ... nothing (that I can find).

My individual post pages are showing relevant ads. It's just the home page (which is set to show posts -- no special text or anything) where irrelevant ads are showing.

My blogs are very tightly keyword focused. It does me no good for people looking for "white dogs" to come to my White Dogs blog, only to be presented with ads for "black cats." (Not my actual subject but you get the idea. ).

I'm just wondering if this will clear itself up, maybe if/when Google next crawls me, or if there's something I can do.

    If I were you, I would not even bother with cloned or duplicate content sites at the 1st place. No offence, but I just don't dig such websites.

      I use cloning to skip having to set up a blog completely from scratch every time. What gets duplicated is the WordPress theme, structure, specific plug-ins that I like to use, etc.

      There's no duplicate content between my blogs except boilerplate such as my privacy policy.

    Just give it some time to get crawled again, but keep in mind that the ads you are served are related to many more factors other than keyword density.
